What could you buy with $100 in your country?

You are right $100 doesn't go very far anymore. Gas prices keep going up and down. Maybe one small bill. Or a weeks worth of grocieries.

I'm in the same place you are, and you're right. We have 5 people living in this house, plus 4 pets, so $100 worth of groceries won't last long, unfortunately. Since our gas prices are pretty decent, the $100 would last us 3 weeks. Which, honestly, I have to say, is the greatest thing!

Here in NY, I think I could prolly fill my gas tank on my van....but thats about it. Like u said $100 dont go very far anymore. If I found $100 today...I would prolly pay a bill with it!

Let's see. $100 would take care of one-third of my rent. $100 would get me 3 weeks of groceries. $100 would pay for my electric, gas, water, and sewer for one month. $100 would get 5 or 6 weeks of gas for the car....as long as it stays at $3.34. I don't drive much either...just to work and back and maybe a trip to Subway once a week.

In my house, $100 for a week's worth of groceries would be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with water all week and nothing but! I need at least $200 for weekly groceries, and that's only counting if I have some left over supplies from the previous week. This is why, although my husband makes a good living.. we still can't survive on his weekly paycheck, because it's almost half gone by the time we're done grocery shopping.

I hardly ever spend less than $100 on groceries for a week. $100 will buy around 25 gallons of gas for the vehicle. So I don't go anywhere I don't need to go right now. We just have to face it; $100 doesn't go very far anymore.

Since there are just two of us, we do not spend that much on groceries. So it would go pretty far. I also am the mark down queen when it comes to shopping, and so the things I buy a lot of, meat and fresh produce are usually mark downs. The meat is fine if you just take it home and either cook it or freeze it.I also get buy one get one free offers. Mondays I am giving my son and family a meal, cause it is their busy night.We just put $24.00 in my gas tank, I do not know how many gallons of gas that was, less than eight, maybe a little less than seven. Today at the store I got bananas, button mushrooms-a quart box, two portabella caps which I will stuff and broil, two small pork loin roasts on a buy one get one free sale,(I will make roast pork and dressing for my son) a box of stuffing mix, three varieties of beans-canned-to make three bean salad, along with zesty italian dressing, a 24 oz bag of tortilla chips, a pint of guacamole salad, ten soft tortillas, fat free sour cream, a package of sixteen slices of American cheese.I am thinking that might be it for us for this week.I spent $37 and change. Last weekend we got our group buying package, so I have lots of other food at home. It costs $24 monthly plus at least one hour of volunteer work. There are usually at least five kinds of meat, four servings each and six to eight fresh fruits and vegetables.

I'm only one person, and if I didn't buy any household things like Windex or other cleaning supplies, I could buy myself two weeks of groceries. Partially because I have to include the food for my dog. It would buy me a week and half's worth of gas, and 100 dollars would cover two months of cable. And I have basic cable.

Hi beautyqueen! We are about the same here in Canada as you are in the States... About a weeks worth of groceries for a family of three to four (Without diapers) My Phone Bill and My Internet combined A Couple pairs of Jeans A good Winter Coat would cost almost that much It is only one eighth of my rent!!! Only one Third of my monthly Student Loan Payment! On and on I could go...Money sure does not go very these days! ~Heavens~

100 US dollars is like 4600 pesos in the country.. it can buy 2 sacks of rice or 75 liters of gas.. it's big money in the country.. with a hundred dollar, we can already buy a 1 month worth of grocery, but with my family, it wouldn't really reach a whole month, there are 9 of us including my parents and we are good eaters!hahaha earning 100 dollars just for a part time job on the net would be so much money already!

I am in the USA so I know how expensive things are. In the UK which the rate of exchange is bad and the dollar is weak they only get 50% of that 100 dollars it does not go very far.

$100.00 worth of groceries would last me about 1 month or so. I can buy many things with $100.00. I will just have to go to the cheapest store there is, to get many items. I can shop at other places, but I may not get that many items, plus my money will go away pretty fast!

We couldn't really cover any of our bills with $100. It wouldn't help too much with rent either. We could use it for gas. If I spend $100 on groceries, it would last me for a little while. $100 won't even cover the remaining itmes that I need to buy for my baby.

It can buy lot of things here in Philippines. The exchange rate is about 47 pesos per dollar. So its around 4700 pesos. With that amount, your grocery for a month is answered, and there is still remaining bucks for you to purchase things like your pants and others need. My net salary in my first job is around that amount, with all those deductions all over.

Well, it would really depend on which Grocery store I went too, and what I was buying as to how long $100 in groceries would last us, and since it is just my husband and I anyways, it would last usually at least 2 weeks from a regular store most times. As for Gas in our Car, since gas is actually finally dropping down under $3.50 a gallon around here some places, we can almost get 3 tanks full for $100 again which is nice.

100usd can buy atleast one month groceries supplies in our home and that includes rice..but not the viand...that is basing on our family budget ..since we have only 4 in our hosuehold since my son lives independently including my 2 daughters

You are right that $100 is not much money. That is 1/8th of my house payment. I also spend about $100 a week on groceries and that is a lot of money but it takes it to feed us. I do fairly well with money and not spending more than I have to as I live on a tight budget. My husband is the spender of the family and it drives me crazy. I would be a millionaire if he would let me control all the money but we would live a lot more frugal than we do.

I live in U.S. also. Like you said $100 doesn't get too far, especially for necessities. You definitely can't pay your rent with that amount. Rent here will costs you anywhere from $500-$1300 but 500 is really rare. It's rare that you are going to find a nice or decent house or house at all for under $1,000 a month. My cousin lives in a house and she pays $1,100 a month. That is about the cheapest you are going to find for a house. You might be able to get a trailer, townhouse or apartments for cheaper. Apartments you have to watch though..they can cost you a lot and it could be better to just go get a house. I am not really sure about townhouses. You might be able to pay the phone and internet for $100. Possibly your cable depending on how many televisions you have and channels you have. $100 will buy some groceries to get you through for a week maybe, if you do it right. Food is getting more and more expensive. $100 won't go far like you said. Especially when you are trying to pay some bills.

$100 can buy me 1/2 week of food only. Actually school supplies, probably not even enough. I recently invested in a visual schedule for my child and it cost me $175 from the Autism Consulting team. So really 100bucks does not go a long way when you have the rest of the world increasing their prices.

$100 is a lot of money,i can have my shopping or a grocery for a month.Basic salary here in my country for a month is almost $200 and $100 maybe can be spent for 15 days.
