In the 1880s, the prices of common items were significantly lower than today. For example, a loaf of bread cost around 5 cents, a dozen eggs were about 25 cents, and a pound of butter was approximately 25 cents as well. A new house could be purchased for around $2,000, while a horse could cost between $75 and $150. These prices reflect the economic conditions and the value of money during that era.
