What Will a U.S. Dollar Buy In Your Country?

So you can eat rather inexpensively, if you are thinking in terms of dollars. Thank you for sharing that information.

LOL. I hear that. I am familiar with what it will be in the U.S.

Exactly a dollar here in the USA is basically nothing these days you may luck out with a plain donut or a candy bar, but that's about it. You can't even purchase a soda with just $1 anymore. It's quite aggrevating.

Of course, we realize the dollar would have to be exchanged to your currency. But I am speaking about after it exchanged, what would it buy?

Yes, things are expensive in the U.S. but I suppose it equals out. You make more money and you pay more for things. You make less money, you pay less for things.

Thank you for giving me several examples of what a dollar would buy in your country.

Yes, I am finding it quite fascinating too. You can find out what the money exchange rate is rather easily, but that still doesn't tell you what you can buy. In Costa Rica the exchange rate is about 517 colones equals one dollar, but it takes a large number of colones to buy anything.

You won't get much nourishment from that, now will ya?

You can get a taxi across town for about what is equal to $0.60 or $0.70. which seems weird because gas is just about as expensive here as it is in the U.S. We had one taxi, which we sold because it was not going to do anything but cost money because of the wear and tear. It sounds like your prices there are comparable to ours. What country are you from?

Yummy! Show me the candy. But I prefer Snickers for my dollar.

Aren't those great? I visited one when I was there a few months ago.

Yes, Dollar Tree rocks. :)

That sounds pretty reasonable. What country is that?

Okayyyyy. What do you mean by a Vault?

I am all for finding good bargains. Thanks for your post.

Thank you for sharing. What country is that?

Oh, that sounds very good.

That is maybe a little cheaper than the U.S., no?

Then I suppose Denmark is more like the U.S. with a higher cost of living. Thank you for your input.

But if you get the bigger hamburger with everything on it, it costs a lot more, yes?

What country is it? Do you know why it is so expensive?
