I was only four years old in 1955 so I don't remember anything about what things cost then, but it does take me down memory lane. I do remember postage going from .03 to .04 but I don't remember when it was. It was after 1955. Don't think I remember the penny postcard.
I went with my mother grocery shopping sometime in the early sixties and we had a completely full cart. The bill was $20.00.
