Ready to feel both nostalgic and personally attacked? Millennials and Gen Xers are here to remind us that once upon a time, $5 could actually buy you something more than a sad cup of coffee.
From movie tickets and full meals at the food court to those giant CDs you had to have, this list of things you could snag for under $5 in 1999 will have you shaking your head and longing for the days when your wallet actually made a difference.
Grab your Tamagotchi, settle in, and get ready for a nostalgic trip back to a time when the dollar really stretched—unlike your skinny jeans!
