Does anyone remember actual personal details about the gas crunch in the 1970's? When gas prices went to the hemisphere, and things like coffee and peanut butter cost much more what they'd cost the day before? I recall it all happening really quickly, especially at the Jewel store in Glendale Heights, and not being able to afford to buy mom's coffee because the price had jumped from something like $3 to $10. Do you recall what other stuff cost much more as a result ? I am working on a story (fiction) that touches on that time, but I'd like to get more personal details, more than what I've been able to find on the web. Anyone have any memory of it? Inquiring minds really want to know. Thanks.
