Geography Story: 15 unexpected items one can get with $1 around the globe

Having only one dollar in your pocket is not much, isn't it? Actually, it depends on where you are going to spend it. One dollar can be a decent sum in some places! Here is the list of things a buck can buy you around the globe, and some of these are really surprising.

#1: In Vietnam, you can actually get a lot with this sum...

#2 Italian lifehack: spend 1$ to buy half a liter of wine and half a kilo of spaghetti and have a cheap dinner!

Please note that it's not going to be a high-grade sort of wine!

#3: In Seoul, you can spend 1$ to improve your skin

Buy a mask pack in Korea for only 1$!

#4: In Egypt, a buck can get you a proper dinner

That's how a koshary looks - it's a traditional Egyptian meal, which turns out to be quite nourishing and cheap!

#5: In India, you can also have a hearty meal

Such a meal usually consists of boiled rice, vegetables, dal, chutney and fish.

#6: You can enjoy fruit or a cup of coffee in Costa Rica

#7: Come to Australia to take your chance with lottery for 1$

What if you win enough cash to travel the whole world?

#8: You can send a letter by air from Russia to the USA for 1$

Such an envelope will be delivered in 7-11 days. You can also spend your buck to buy 2 kg of potatoes!

#9: Having only 1$ in Canada, you can buy... almost nothing.

#10: Sell an apple in Canada, come to Mexico an buy A LOT of bananas!

#11: for 1$ only you can find out what Chinese beer tastes like

#12: In Norway, you can't even buy an apple with the sum :(

#13: In the Philippines, you can relax and improve your health with only a buck!

#14: Drivers worldwide can only dream about Venezuelan gas prices...

#15: In Iceland, you will get a liter of milk.

What would you choose - a liter of Icelandic milk or a liter of cheap Italian wine?..

Was this information surprising for you? Have you ever visited any of the above mentioned countries? How would you spend 1$ abroad?

AND in the USA ... even the stuff in the dollar store costs more than that.

Italy, Egypt, India, Mexico, Iceland there are places where a dollar is still a dollar. O yeah the foot massage in the Philippines is too cheap and the gas in Venezuela is way outdated. No wonder the country is in turmoil

Steve Kemp

In the UK, you can buy nothing for $1 - we don't take Dollars, just Pounds Sterling

Arun Visvanathan

The 'thali' meal shown for India doesn't include fish. Fish is expensive and most people are vegetarians.

Scott

$1 in New Zealand doesn't go very far!

Catherine Miller

No way can you get a litre of milk in Iceland for one American dollar!

Helen Dakin

You can get a cup of tea or coffee at 71 in Australia for $1.

catmom

I would get the meal from India for a $1.

Marie Gittleson, The men are their ticket to a better life. I feel sorry for the men who think these girls will stay with them once they get their papers.

You can still get a senior coffee for around a dollar at McDonald's and a piece of fruit is less than a dollar.

werma

I would probably enjoy some local fruit.

Raymond Cardona

Canada isn't the only North American country where a $1.00 doesn't buy much it's the same in the USA even items in dollar stores cost more nowadays. Bonnie

Chris Baz

I wouldn’t buy a Chinese beer if you paid me 😡.

Angela James

You didn’t include the U.K. 😖

Elsy O. Stromberg

Marilyn Overs, That would be a huge mistake.

Pamela Spallin

Sounds great ...... all I have to do now is save enough money to get to these places tospend my dollar🤨

Marie Gittleson

Luis Perez, Virginia A Inflation is over 300% money basically has no value & people are fleeing the country!
