[quote:Anonymous Coward 72123431:MV8zNDE0ODY0XzYwODQ4ODYwX0UxNDk4OUQx] Another thing to consider OP if you are comparing overall cost of living. It seems that in most places in the rest of the world, your list is cheaper. But what does an average apartment or house cost there? In most of the northeast US, it's tough to find a place to live for less than $1000 a month unless you are in a really dangerous area or the place is a shithole... then maybe $700 a month. [/quote]

I was wondering if you guys would be kind and tell me approximatelly the total cost of these items in your country, preferably converting the value to dollars, so I can have a common denominator. If possible taking into account the cheapest brand possible of each product:
5kg (11 pounds) white rice
2kg (4 pounds) black beans
2 liters of soy oil
250g (0.5 pounds) of cofee
1kg(2 pounds) cornflour
2kg(4 pounds) white sugar
1kg(2 pounds) salt
1 can of tomato extract
500g(1 pound) noodles
250g(0.5 pounds)margerine
4 rolls of toilet paper
2 body soap
1 toothpaste
500g(1 pound) washing powder
2 bars of soap
1 pkg. steel wool
1 match box
400g(0.5 pound) powder milk
Let me explain what it is: This is a basic version of what the government here says that is enough for a person to eat for a whole month. It costs around 100 dollars(about half of the minimum wage). So I was wondering how much it will cost in other countries. Please, this is not trolling, I just want to know.
