Her grandmother finds the tickets for the menu from the day she got married, she shows the prices to her granddaughter and the networks can't believe it

That prices have risen in everything is no secret, so it is not surprising that TikTok has become a memory machine, something like 'Any time in the past was better', at least as far as bar prices are concerned.

The account @saraybarrabajarp has managed to half the country was left speechless when they saw what they paid 50 years ago when they went to eat out. In the video his grandmother shows several tickets, still in pesetas.

“Look, these are the tickets from when we got married, 51 years ago,” she tells her granddaughter at the beginning of the video while showing the 'Venta El Cruce' tickets, with yellowed edges: «The food cost me 283 pesetas», in today's currency it would be «1.70 euros for one less without waste“, half a wine (25 pesetas), two breads (8 p.), two salads, two portions of chicken, two steaks and two orange desserts and two coffees and a cigar,” he exclaims.

The granddaughter, amazed at the prices, asks her grandparents, who immediately show another ticket with a menu of family food at the price of coffee: two soups, two sirloins, dessert, wine, bread and salad. “Nothing more than the two sirloins, they are one hundred and twenty. It doesn't amount to one euro”says Saray with a surprised tone.

But like everything, there is a catch: “How much did grandpa earn at that time?” “Six thousand pesetas a month,” answers the grandmother, while seeing the conversion on a sign: 36.06 euros. What was an afternoon of memories with his grandparents has ended up becoming an economics forum on TikTok: “It's not equivalent to that, you have to add inflation,” warns one user. “The calculation is not correct, we must take into account the value of the currency, salaries and inflation”

There are even those who go into metallurgical details: “The 100 peseta coins were made of silver, 15 grams of pure silver.
