In 1986 minimum wage was 3.35. I could buy 2 cheeseburgers fries and small coke and a pack of ciggs for this. Now not even the ciggs for 750 ....I could however still get a double cheesburger fires and a small coke for a little over half of 7.50.....Ciggs are mostly tax. Same with Gas....Gas was 89cents a gallon....or less then 1/3 of an minimum wage hour....now its 90% of a minimum wage hour....it all depends on what you tie your inflation to.
