Today is Sunday  

$100 in US dollars can buy alot. 2 whole chickens at .89 cnets(100 cents equals a dollar) would be $8.90 for 2 chickens that weight 5 lbs each. one large family size box of rice would be about $3.00. A loaf or wheat bread that is generic type would be about $2. Add some green vegetable for about $2 and a bag of apples which right now is cheap and in season for $2, add a box of cereal for $4 and a half gallon of milk for $2 and a half gallon of oj for $4. A large jar of peanut butter for about $5 and 10 packages (4 oz) of salmon for $15.75. This still gives you money left over for fresh vegetables and maybe some meat and beans to make a chilli, buy some crackers OH and of course eggs about $2 for a dozen extra large eggs.

Dear Arun
It is true. No problem it happen in our country not only it happen all over worldwide. Your express your surprise. I too agree with you.

Really Arun, a Sunday is almost a FUNDAY for me, because I am very busy on this day with seminars! It is usual and regular for my type of work assignment. Thanks and have nice sundays and also nice shoppings!!

Mine is the US dollar adn I might be able to buy a 2 oranges for the $1

Hi Arun,
Being an Indian, I can see money being devalued almost on a daily basis. These days, at the market, 100 rupees hardly fetches anything. With potatoes at Rs 22/- a kg and average fish at Rs 150/- a kilo, I have to spend minimum Rs. 700/- for a weeks shopping, fish, meat, veggies and groceries included. At this rate, eating out does seem cheaper for one person but if it’s a family eating out, then you know of course, that Rs. 100/- doesn’t take us much far.

100 dollars here in our country is good... i can buy a mobile phone with that ($100),a 100 dollars for me i can buy a sack of rice, some fruits and vegetables, bread, meat products etc --- grocery for a month, a month for our telephone bill and electricity too...

sunday for catholics are going to the church pray and listening to the mass. after attending mass, we can do whatever plans we have. like eating outside with family or go somewhere else and bonding time.

hi arun well one hundred dollars in US money can buy a lot
'of meat, veggies, fruits, milk, eggs and bread for possibly'
a week of meals if you shop well and compare prices. I am 'in The USA where we use dollars and ounces and pounds, but although
I did not give the price on any of the above I know how much'a hundred dollars buys as I used to shop via internet for my groceries to be delivered to my home and that amount of money'gave me food for two whole weeks with a lot left over.

Your description of Indian currency and the price of commodities will encourage the foreigners to visit India. India is still a low cost country.
