What you would have bought with $100: Three cribs

Nowadays, having triplets is definitely not an easy task. However, back in 1971, the regular price of a crib (a Sturdy Welsh Baby Crib ) was only $29.97, meaning that any family with triplets had the possibility to buy three cribs for less than $100.

What you would have bought with $100: One speaker set

No one can deny the fact that the early 1970s represented a glorious time for music. Plus, a one-hundred-dollar bill was more than enough for you to purchase Radio Shack Stereo Speakers, a set consisting of 8-inch woofers and walnut cabinets.

What you would have bought with $100: One black-and-white television
