1944-08-18 It's Nifty To Be Thrifty

[@Eszra]

I looked it up and by the end Lulu has spent the equivalent to $13's now. A single dollar in 1944 was $13.56 in today's money. Wow just think if a dollar was worth that much now, just think what it could be in another 70 years.

[@comaster2]

It also depends on the price of the candies. Lulu seems to bought a lot more than just $13 candies in today's money.

[@Eszra]

Well back then candy was simple. But by today's types of candy I'm sure she sent at least 35 or more.

[@IvieCartman-dn7up]

It would probably be way more now because this, is from like 8 years ago and now its 2024

[@IvieCartman-dn7up]

In 2024 its about 16 dollars about 16 to 20 dollars

[@grayfireproductions]

in 1947, one Hershey bar in America only costed a couple of pennies. $5 in 1947 could buy dinner for two families.

Disney just called; wants the bugs back. :P

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Daddy: A HALF A DOLLAR?! WHAT FOR? FOR CANDY? That part makes me laugh. Back then 50 cents was about what $5.00 is today.

Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio.

[@jaygooese4242]

I know right?

[@trevorwarne1166]

So what if It's Nifty to Be Thrifty (1944) was the final Little Lulu cartoon that Leon Schlesinger produced?

[@michelleshelley995]

[@mattfabbs]

[@cartoonmaster2401]

Ironic isn't it? Two different moral characters look alike.

[@michelleshelley995]

Gotta love ❤❤❤❤ lulu 😂😆

[@ifeelsohungry]

No, it's me, max!

[@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow]

LOL! The look on that guys face when lulu ran out the store!

[@vulnaviadraco]

lol I can remember gas wars when gasoline would drop to 17 cents a gallon, and a 12oz bottle of soda pop was 15 cents.

[@TomboyGamerGal]

Lulu's parents really need to confiscate her lollipops. It's a serious addiction for her.

[@nostalgiamostalgia0319]

Rare toon

[@grayfireproductions]

excuse me 44, not 47

[@ghost085]

How much was half a dollar back then? That was a lot of stuff Lulu bought at the candy store.

[@comaster2]

I heard that 1 million dollars back then could be like near 10 million dollars in today's money.

[@superLuluLC]

I don't like the drawings in this Lulu's cartoon.... I feel like they are somehow different from the other episodes... and wow! you can afford a lot of candies with just a half of a dollar!

[@IvieCartman-dn7up]

I agree
