Best Answer

According to the Consumer Price Index Inflation Calculator, one dollar in 1930 had the same buying power that $13.50 has in 2011. So whatever you can get for thirteen and a half bucks today, was about a dollar in 1930.

Consumers looking to pinch pennies may wish they were able to transport back to 1890. During that year, a dollar could buy you around eight pounds of steak. Consumers could also buy thirty-four pounds of eggs and fourteen and half pounds of sugar.

A dollar back in 1867 could buy a lot more than it could buy in 2014. In 1867, you could purchase a 5 pound bag of flour, a loaf of bread, and butter for under a dollar.
