Sandman prices & inflation?

I used to be able to buy a pie at the school canteen for a dollar in 1990. Pies at the same bakery that supplied school are now $3. .

I realize this is but I remember when pies were 20c at the school canteen, and sauce was 1/2c does anyone remember 1/2c....I agree with everyone that vans sold for $8000 in 77-80 would be equivalent to $35K today, and I also agree with WBute saying if you sold a van mid 80's early 90's you would have lost big time, as we did, so anyone who did buy one and sit on it like the guy who sold us the Red Van, made good money about 10K....as he drove it for 5 years then put it in a shed.....until we bought it....
