When every basic commodities in our country is increasing. What is the BEST thing you can still buy at 50 pesos in your place? Since I love to eat peanuts! I would spend the 50.oo on buying a Cheding peanut. It is very crispy and delicious.

Four children plus your partner makes you six. 50 divided by six equals to 8 pesos something... Ensaimada would be delicious, I love the sugar toppings.

donuts cost 10 pesos, so i can still buy 5 donuts on fifty pesos. 2 for me 2 for my son and a donut for my wife. har har har. i can also buy two orders of siomai. the siomai on the siomai stand at the mall cost around 24 pesos per 4 pieces and i can buy two orders.

well, i won't buy anything with P50, instead I'll save it. think about it, if you save P50 daily, that will amount to P350 a week and become a P1400 in a month. you can turn your P50 into P16,800 in a year. that's just me though. i'm mor einclined to think about saving the extra money that i hae instead of spending it.

Hmm.. Since I can't manage to eat rice at midnight as my lunchbreak at work because it makes me sleepy after, I would say that I would buy a tuna pie and pineapple juice combo at jolibee or two regular yum burgers. Lolz..

Good suggestions from a 50 peso budget. If i would eat from a chain store, I would be having a swirly bits or an mcflurry... Or just a fries, lots of fries...

Nice choice, why wasn't I able to think of that. A kilo of rice is almost and I think some is already at 50 pesos :( I think I gotta stop chewing the peanuts, and buy rice instead.

My first choice would be to spend P50 for a kilo of rice, too. But I could also use it to buy a kilo of bananas or a kilo of ripe mangoes (if they're in season). A kilo of mangoes usually costs more if they're not in season.

At P50.00, I still can buy a can of soda and a bag of potato chips. :) I love that, my favorite snack. I also can buy burger instead of potato as well. Those are my favorite food these days.
