Found an old Sears catalog in my attic with the price for a kitchen sink
I was cleaning out my attic last weekend and found a 1978 Sears catalog... the whole kitchen sink and faucet set was listed at $89.50. I just paid over $400 for something pretty similar at Home Depot last month. It's wild how the cost of even basic home stuff has gone up, but also makes you think about how much more choice we have now. Has anyone else run across old prices that made you do a double take?

My buddy found his dad's old tool receipt from the 80s. Felt the same shock. Totally get what @skylerb53 means about labor costs now though.

What do you think the old sink would cost to install now though? Labor is the real killer, parts are just part of the story.
