How Much things cost in 1970 (in 2009):
Yearly Inflation Rate USA 5.84% (1.8%)
Year End Close Dow Jones Industrial Average 838 (end of the day, 12/28/09 10547.08)
Average Cost of new house $23,450.00 ($200,250 - $300,000)

United States postage Stamp 6 cents (44 cents)
Gallon of milk $1.15 ($3.50-$4.00)
Dozen Eggs 62 cents (anywhere up to $1.50 but I had to pay $2.49 last week because the store was out of every kind except Eggland's Best. There was a winter storm coming in and everyone stocked up)
AMC Gremlin $1879 (I wanted to find what their worth today but doing a search on google didn't bring up any for sale within the WWW)
And the Kansas City Chiefs won the Superbowl January 11, 1970.
