What does $50 buy where you live?

My conclusions:

Marijuana is more expensive than Gold. (Holland – Romania)

Also is quite same drink beer or petrol!!! In cost therms, obviously petrol is better for human health!!! jaja

Just arrived in Darwin, really hot!

• Two nights rent in a hostel 6 bed dorm
• 6 jugs of beer
• 1/8th of weed
• 10 steaks from coles
• 7 big macs

All i can think of at the mo.

A steak is cheaper than a Big Mac?

Agreed, but you have to cook it Australia has alot of cattle ranches, so i guess the competition is tough.

I don’t know how Apple work their prices out for items, I’ve worked out the exchange rate and added VAT , but it comes nowhere near to the price they charge.

I’m dreading the VAT increase come January 4th… an iPhone 4 (currently £499) will be something like £550. That’s like $800.

I decided to get my iMac this year because I don’t want to may something like £3,600 for a computer.
