I looked up inflation rates according to the Bank of Canada. Looks like $5 in 1990 is worth $10 now. So yes, if you were alive and spending money 33 years ago, in Canada, this shower thought is correct.

Me, in 1990, I was buying five-cent candies and baseball cards.

I think people overestimate how much inflation we had the last couple of years, and think prices doubled in a few years.. they didn’t.. they doubled in 30 years.. which is not unusual
