Question

What was the average prices of a movie ticket, babysitting rates, and a pack of diapers in 1990?

Answer 1

5.00 movie and 6.00 for diapers depending on the size. Gas was 59 cents a gallon too!

Answer 2

movie:5 bucks

babysitting: 2.25/ hour

diapers: 5 bucks

All guesses!

Am I right???????

Answer 3

Movie ticket was $7.50 (less for under 14), babysitting $5 an hour, diapers $7.50 for a pack.

Answer 4

In 1990, the minimum wage was raised to $3.80/hour.  That might help with the babysitting rate.  

As for the other two--wow.  The best thing would be if you could get hold of some newspaper ads from the time.  Perhaps a library would have these on microfiche, because the subscription databases don't usually have ads, just the articles.

Edit:  Maybe I misunderstood.  Are you just seeing if people are right, or are you seeking the information?

Answer 5

$5.00 for first run movies.

I paid a babysitter around $2.50 and a package of disposable diapers cost right around $6 or $7 for Pampers. The store brands were a bit cheaper. My daughter was born in 1989 and I remember what a relief it was not having to shell out the money for diapers when she was finally out of them.

Answer 6

12 bucks

Answer 7

Ticket was $6.00

Diapers-What type ,Cheap 3.99
