What can you get for £1 or $1

There was a "Top Gear" episode where the guys had to buy a banger with a budget of £100 and put it through a number of Challenges..As I recall,Clarkson won by sourcing his Volvo from a dealer for £1,as it would have cost them more money to have scrapped the thing!

A lot of eBay professionals run 99p auctions here in the UK, with free postage, to augment their feedback results. I've picked up about 40 DVDs for £1 each over the past few months.

There are dollar stores here, too. I can get a plate or a cup or a glass, a bowl, 2 dishclothes, a hand towel, a can of soup, a package of pens, a set of combs, a small book, a bottle of shampoo, a package of hand soap, and so on, from there. From the grocery store, I can get... um. A package of chewing gum. The thrift store has books for 50 cents or a dollar, a lot of knick knacks for a dollar,dishes and things like that. If I go garage saling, some days I can find quite a lot for a dollar.

We have dollar stores here where we can buy just about anything for a dollar and then we have rummage sales. So almost anything. Food is about all that's hard to get for a buck.

DVD's are usually about $3 here second hand. CD's well... I never see anything I like so I don't know how much they are at the second hand shop. But when the library discards CD's they are a $1 ea. If Ibuy anything it's usually VHS tapes I can find those for under $1 at the thrift stores and rummage sales are even cheaper usually.

In our area we have dollar stores which are stores that sell everything inside of them for $1. They sell personal care products like shampoo, powder, perfume, along with food items, kitchen item, wrapping paper, greeting cards, party supplies, tools, cleaning supplies, among many other things I love going to the dollar store it is amazing what they have in there for just a dollar.

Well, you can get a newspaper, you can get stuff from the Dollar Store or the 99 Cent Store. You can get a few things with just one dollar.

We don't have alot like that but at the library you can pick up deals on used books. They have a bookstore down stairs where people donate books and you can just about get them for a steal. They use the money to buy new books for the library.

The first thing I can think of is a bag of chips. I'm remembering the time from when I was a middle schooler and using my limited allowance to buy a bag of chips. It was like a bag of heaven. I've also bought a pair of beautiful earrings at a garage sale for a dollar so I believe a dollar goes a long way, getting one anything from food to accessories.

I can buy a eye liner for this amount of money. I can also buy a bar of bath soap.

I can buy 2 second hand films for that. At least 1 bread (and have money left over( 2 liter of milk or yoghurt, a family bag potato chips, 1/2 kilo of apples, pindabutter, 1 kg spinach (frozen), 1 kg french frites (frozen), etc etc. You don't need to go to a charity shop for that. There is plenty you can buy at the supermarkets, at the market and we also have shops where they sell everything for 1 euro and etc.

for $1, I could get 1. 1 value meal (burger, fries and coke) or 2. 2 pirated dvds (sorry)or 3. 2 shirts or a pair of shoes from a thrift shop depending on your haggling skills; or 4. a chinese fried rice takeout; or 5. a haircut
