** What Can I BUY for $10?** email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 82/100. hiccup (6539)   ranked 152 out of 7,427 in shopping6 months ago

If you had $10 (us) just now, Please tell me what you could by with it.

Now We will call it $10's, or to the same Value of MONEY as it in your Country.

You are to spent the TOTAL amount on an Item or Items.

For me Here in Australia, my $10 would buy,

One, Big Mac MEAL and a Milk Shake,

or I might get,
2 litres of Milk,One loaf of sliced bread,One Kilo of Sugar and some Margarine spread.

When you comment to this discussion, PLEASE state the COUNTRY you are from.
This will help me and others to understand Just how far $10 (us) will go in buying items in YOUR COUNTRY.

I am from Singapore and cost of living is same as that of Australia. For 10$ I buy about 6l of milk. We buy Australian Farmhouse milk and that comes to that amount when I buy from my dealer online. Other than that I just baked a choolate cake. It would fetch me 10$(half the size of cake) if I am selling it to someone.

Singapore once was cheap to live, but now like us you need to watch every PENNY (Money).

I'm not sure if it's high cost or it is the way it is.

You are so great with those prices, I have thought of going over seas for 3 to 6 months a year and living, But never certain if could do it and keep costs down.

YOU, I need to talk to more, India, You need to PM me and tell me heaps mainly where you stay, cost of rental or hotel and just general interest stuff.

I am pleased you made comment, Your the best XXOO.

@ptscam - You don't need a financial adviser when you go here to India, Enjoy the best you can buy at the cheapest price in the market, if you know also how to bargain, it will be much more cheaper. I will accompany you!

@hiccup- sure, no problem. I have been busy too, traveling. Maybe next month I am off to Delhi.

Here in the Philippines $10 is equivalent to P480 what can I buy are 25 kilos of rice or food for 2 days. It is not big money but it can cover some expenses at home. Now that dollars is depreciating converting it to peso is going to be smaller. For now I'm going to reach the minimum payout I can't think of anything that I wanted to buy in my earnings here. I plan to buy rabbits for my earnings here or I'm going to save it for now.


myLot reputation of 82/100. hiccup (6539)   ranked 152 out of 7,427 in shopping  6 months ago

Buy a breading pair and you will have meat a lot.

I hope you get your target and get your Rabbits.

Thank you for posting a very interesting topic. I have been reading the responses you have received from other members. I love the variety of answers you have gotten. Soooo, what could you buy with $10??...................you could buy me lunch. LOL

Here in Michigan, you could buy me and yourself a very nice lunch at the local pub/restaurant. Or we could go to the all-you-can-eat buffet lunch at the Chinese restaurant. We could get two medium-sized pizzas to go and have lunch at the park.


myLot reputation of 82/100. hiccup (6539)   ranked 152 out of 7,427 in shopping  6 months ago

It is good to see how far the $10 us can go for some, and what we can buy for it,

One person was saying a weeks food, GEE and we get one meal out of it.

So by that I can see how important myLot is to some our FRIENDS,

A week for for being here for the month not bad, Id like that.
