Probably everyone knows that here, the minimum amount to receive the monthly payment is $5.00. Ok, it's not a fortune, but any amount is important for those who aren't rich, haha!, right?
So... What, effectively, can you buy with that value in your country?

I can buy 5 items at the 99 Cents Store. Those in other countries can get a lot more.

No dollar without a penny. I make sure my first payout goes a long long way as I will put it in my E wallet for my e-loading business.

@WiseGhots Not really, but for a day at school it's okay.

With $5 I can buy, at this time, 20 small oranges which would make 3 snacks for me.

In India with 5 dollars one could buy 20 kilos of rice. And that is the salary of a labourer - almost per day They demand around Rs. 600 plus food

I can buy two cups of coffee or Chinese takeout (the smallest box) or 3 second hand books.

@WiseGhots It is a pretty small amount here, but a second store is a good place to spend it and the books are really cheap compared to new books.

Good options. I like hand books (and coffee as well).

@WiseGhots He's funny. The other day he dragged me to Goodwill and we bought...a Handel record and a Mozart record for $5 total. The kid actually LIKES classical music.

I can buy five items at the Dollar Tree, where each item is only $1, however that won't cover the tax.
Now it all depends on the cost of the item and whether it's on sale or not but I can buy a carton of eggs and half a gallon of milk and I will even have some money left over.
I can buy five scratch-off lotto tickets.

@WiseGhots I am thinking of doing that today. But I think I have a $20 bill in my wallet. They do give change but maybe I should just splurge a little. Maybe I will win big.
