What Can You Buy In Your Country For $1.00 ?

Hmm... Much.

For 1 dollar you can get 1.5l of milk
or a mcdonalds burger
or a big sandwich in a non mcdonalds place
nearly a liter of the expensive kind of gasoline
many many many different types of candy bags
hmmm, most prescription medications, multiple times
 
Wow, here the stuff in our Dollar Stores cost $3. to $7. dollars.
At Walgreen's we can buy candy bars on sale for less then a dollar if you buy two of these together, which no longer would cost less then a dollar.
Gasoline is a sure bet, because while pumping it, one could simply stop doing so upon reaching .99 cents. :D
Dunkin Donuts might still sell a coffee for less then a dollar, but I don't think so.
Fish fillets at McDonald's are $4.19 so that exceeds $1.00.
I do believe, a single cookie from Subway would cost less than a dollar.
Generally speaking, saying: "Will you take a dollar for this?" at a yard sale, no longer suffices, however I'm thinking in some instances this can work, especially when others come to our yard sales.
Nearly all beverages cost between a buck and a half and two dollars, however thin plastic-no name water bottles and rows of medium sized processed, grocery store donuts do exist for .99 cents still. Oh there is always a single apple or orange or a few bananas that sell for less than a dollar.
And, of course though I suspect not as popular as the $2, $5, $10, $20. and higher scratch tickets there remains a $1. scratch ticket, as well as there being $1.00 lottery ticket purchases.
 
We had a store in my hometown called Everything' A Dollar which was true...so everything in there if still open.

Gas here is down to $1.43 so almost a dollar for a gallon of gas.

Other than that and super cheap stuff, not much in this State.
 
I think the point of this thread got lost somewhere along the way... :)
 
I think the point was to show us how easy it would be to donate a dollar to the site. I may be wrong, though. :)
 
i thought the point was naming what you can buy for a dollar in your area

Both :) I think @Sammyiam's point was to get people to look at what they can get for a dollar where they live and to see how that compares to the value for money donating a dollar to this site would be.

The thread was originally posted during a push last year to try and get more people to contribute to the running costs of the site and the message that if everyone visiting and using the site contributed just one dollar per year, it would cover those costs. A message that still applies :)
 
Another take on it could also be 'What am I spending a dollar on today that I don't really need? Could I go without that donut/coffee/juice/chocolate etc for just one day and pay the dollar in here instead?"
