Patch cost?


so...is it 7.50 or 750.00?

Cuz, the little girl's freak out seems a little out of proportion for 7.50, I mean, i have been that broke but seems a bit much.

reply

Ah, but remember that the same girl couldn't pay the initial $10.00 fees, either.

I thought it was damn good for 36 patches.


Boy scouts in the 80's sure as hell didn't have it that cheap.

reply

I was think 7.50 was cheap for 36 patchs too. Cub Scout patches and belt loops are so expensive now.

Well with inflation $7.50 in 1988 is worth about $15 now. That being said her dad had been out of work and they were probably living pay check to paycheck. I would also assume it can be a little frustrating to a kid to see that her friends get to have everything, while she's eating out of Campbell's soup cans.
