I was just reading a bit on TTL while looking for something else.
In 1965 a 7400 gate was $20 and Candy bars 5 cents.

Yes, pretty expensive. I seem to remember from an
1968-ish catalog,
seeing prices of a dollar or two for basic 7400 series TTL, like a 7410.
The more complex chips (more than a few gates) were three or four dollars
a pop.
I was actually quoted \pounds 17.00 (or thereabouts) for a 74154 the
other week. Fortunately the 74LS154 was a lot cheaper and would do in the
unit I was repairing....
