What essential need can you buy with your $20?

[Starmix]

What essential need can you buy with your $20? This amount in Ph peso is 1,200. This amount could buy essential things at home. Ten years ago, $20 could buy one (1) sack of white rice ( 56 kilos), and then after 6 years, $20 could only buy 30 kilos of white rice. This year, $20 can only buy 7 kilos of white rice . There is a huge difference. It is no longer funny. I pity people whose income is below the poverty line. Rice is a staple food in the Philippines and this makes us gain energy, We need carbo because of the extreme temperature in the Philippines especially during summer when the heat is sweltering. If buy other essential things like fish, for example, this $20 could only buy 4 kilos of fish, for a meat chicken, $20 could only buy 3 kilos, beef, two kilos. How could ordinary people survive? Crimes may soar and monkey businesses may happen.

With the inflation rate in my country it should just be food and more food as a basic need. Though food now is even more costly in my country

What most people prioritize this time is food. When the stomach is hungry, what the household members seek is food.

This amount can do more than food in my country. If you even have to use it to buy food, it would buy food that would last you for 3 days.

[Suba]

Every lunch I spend about $2, so for $20 I can last for ten days, but if I buy local/medium rice from $20, I will get about 20 kg, but if I buy premium rice I will get 10 to 15 kilos.

 

[Starmix]

Twenty dollars { $20} is very useful. It can buy some daily needs. Because of the high cost of commodities, what we usually buy in the previous years with this amount is no longer significantly the same this time. If buy rice alone twenty dollars can buy only 15 kilos.

I am from my beloved Philippines, particularly in Cagayan de Oro City, Northern Mindanao. My Internet bill is the cheapest one. There is no fiber, but it is not slow. I am the only user. We have two internet connections at home all from CONVERGE.

I can buy food that can last me for up to five with the sum of $20. If I really manage, it can get me food that would last for a week.

Twenty dollars is money and it can buy many essential needs at home and for personal use. Though it might not be in bulk buying, at least minimally and that matters most.
