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.
Quoting: MaybeTrollingU 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!  Indeed. Whoever made up this list has never had to buy groceries, cook, take care of himself. the quantities are really screwy, but if you take off that $1 for salt and $1 for steel wool that gives you $2 for something else of higher quality. 4 lbs of sugar
