Baby book procrastinator

My daughter will be two in September and I am just getting around to filling in her baby book.  As if the guilt wasn't already bad enough, I am now faced with the challenge of finding prices of common household items when she was born.  It's either that or I have to tear a page out of her book, which I dodn't want to do!  So how can I find a list of prices for things like milk, gasoline, bread, eggs, movie tickets, etc. from September of 2006?

You may have the same book as me lol!!

I had this page too!

Maybe I am bad, but I didn't know how to find this either..My dd was born in 07 so I just estimated!!

Good luck!

My sister had the same problem as you. She just guesstimated. Think back to when she was a little baby and you used to go to the shop. Take a stab at it, better than nothing :)

"Think back to when she was a little baby and you used to go to the shop."

Ha!  That time was such a blur for me...  But thanks for the suggestion.  ;D

My little emily was born 1st of September  06 but unfortunately I think you don't want to state Australian figures. You can always get a back dated newspaper from a good library which should have all that stuff in it. Good Luck

My son was born Sept. 21,03.  I didn't get all the household items for a while.  :)  but i googled a lot of the items.  If i can think of anything else, I will let you know.  Google.  it's my answer for everything.

Google is what I was using (that's actually how I ended up on Minti!) - but because there has been so much price fluctuation - thanks to stupid oil prices - I am finding a hard time finding anything as mundane as a price list.  All I can find are articles about the horrible increase in prices....  I probably just need to be more patient and sift hrough the articles.  Thanks!
