Kmart ad from the 1980s shows just how much prices have changed
With the cost of living feeling as though it’s always on the rise, it’s easy to forget that there are some items now that were prohibitively expensive just a few decades ago.
Nowhere is this truer than in this Kmart advert from the 1980s unearthed by Daily Mail this week, and it provides quite an interesting sign of how prices have changed.

The Daily Mail report points out the add is spruiking a 17-inch colour TV with an “elegant timer finish” for just $524. Shopping with Kmart these days, you could get a 55-inch full HD screen TV, and as you can see it would cost you $75 less!
