that was when a penny or a dime was worth something, i can remember when having a dime i thought i was really rich

I also remember 25 cents went a long way --- a chocolate bar, a bag of chip and a drink

Looking at that picture, the adjustment (166) seems just about par to todays prices

If you think our food prices are high..... do a search for an Australian grocery store. It's interesting.
