F J Vending Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I finalized my taxes and filed them away. I was looking through some of my older files and came across my 1995 taxes and documentation for my vending business (my 2nd year) and found Sam's receipts. Here is a comparison from 20 years ago almost to the day 4/8/2015 M&M - 9.87 Skittles - 5.58 (normally 6.58 but local Sam's has $1 off right now) Hot Tamales - 7.47 Reese's Pieces - 9.68 4/6/1995 M&M - 5.86 Skittles - 4.78 Hot Tamales - 5.69 Reese's Pieces - 3.91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Screw vending. I should just invest in Hershey and Mars and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderJerry Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 And the M&M's were either a full 4 or 5 pound bag back then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F J Vending Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 So I had to go back and look to see how big the bags were, first Reese's were $5.91 not $3.91, I blame the fading receipt but probably my eyes are the bigger problem. In 1995 the bags of Skittles and M&M's I bought from Sam's were 3lb (48 oz) bags, the receipt states "M & M 3LBS" and "SKITTLES 3LB" So based on this Skittles have only increased .02 per ounce and M&M's have increased .06 per ounce - In 20 years.

rodney69 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes, but at Costco it's a whole different story. You can't even get most of it any more. Just Pmm, MI, and HT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
