[quote:MaybeTrollingU:MV8zNDE0ODY0XzYwODQ4ODcyXzE2NUNEOUJD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 72785042:MV8zNDE0ODY0XzYwODQ4ODE4X0EwRDM5NzI0] [quote:MaybeTrollingU:MV8zNDE0ODY0XzM0RkRGNDA5] 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. [/quote] This is for one person, correct? Would love to help but I would NEVER buy half that stuff! Even penniless i would never cook with anything except olive oil. I bet I haven't used cornflour in 20 years! 2lbs of salt in a month - what?!!! Noodles - ugh. Margarine - no, real butter every time. Steel wool? Ummmmm. Powdered milk, no, nor fresh, UHT or any other milk. 4lbs of sugar in a month, this might explain obesity. However, I could easily get through 4 tins of tomatoes in a month, if fresh ones weren't so easy to grow inside with all this doom going on! And as for all those using more than 4 loo rolls a month - if you are eating this shit, no wonder! :5a: [/quote] Well, think as if your whole monthly payment is around 300 dollars. What would you do earning this kind of money? [/quote]
