Is it possible to have a good plate of food for $5 in your country?

[Kross]

Food is one of the highest costs of our expenses. And sometimes, we want to explore some cheaper ways that we can afford food. Is it possible that $5 can comfortably afford a good plate of food in your home country?

Honestly, no, unless you live in a country like Venezuela with a hyper-devalued currency, but even so, I think not, not even buying the most economical and cheap thing would cost you half of the things, so you wouldn't be able to eat a large dish, just something very, very simple

I assume you mean US dollar. Yes, in my city, it is possible to have one plate of good food at a Chinese fast-food restaurant.

Yes, with $5, I can buy a good meal. There are many eateries here that offer meals at that price. It includes rice and probably two viands. To be honest, it used to be much cheaper before; with $5, you could get three viands.

5 dollars should buy at least 2 very good quality meals from an average restaurant in my country with little balance left.

In my place you can get a decent meal for $2. With this money, you get a plate of steamed rice, a bowl of lentil soup, green salad, pickle and a bowl of seasonal vegetables.

Not now maybe before the inflation rate as affected a lot of things you can't just eat and enjoy good food with $5 now

With five dollars in my country, I should be able to cook something small and nice that can serve me for two or three times.

In my country, the average employee spends about $2 for lunch. A good plate of food is available in the office canteen, food stalls. To spend $5 we can eat at a simple restaurant and get delicious food.

With an equivalent of 5 dollars, I can honestly have two plates if food with a bottle of soft drink to accompany the food. You would get good meat with the food.

At least one can get the plate of the most delicious food on my country.

Yes this can help for a bachelor that doesn't need to put much into food cooked but this can't carry a family man or woman in this economy

 

[Min George]

I won't ever spend five dollars on a plate of food. I would use that amount to cook at home and still have some balance.

Exactly, it should carry me for several days, especially if I am the only one eating it. It's always cheaper to eat home made food, than eating out.
