We had 2 plots of 10 acres. We planted potatoes and other vegetables. I remember we got a good harvest from 1 plot - 3 tons of potatoes. And we sold 3 tons of potatoes wholesale for 300 dollars, that was a lot of money. Vegetables were inexpensive and dairy products and bread were available. But meat and sausages were very expensive.

Some things never really change :^)

In Armenia $300 is still considered a lot. The wages here are around that much per month for regular jobs, it's crazy. Definitely much lower for those outside of Yerevan too.
