Re: GLP'ers from all over the world, help me up on a research
Here in the US we have dollar stores, where everything costs a dollar, sometimes 2/$1.

So you could get the laundry soap for $1, oil for $1, a pound of rice for $1 and so on. Maybe not all items would be there, but you get the picture. They all sell canned goods, so you can get vegetables for minimum $1 for a standard can, often 2/$1. In many areas now they have a cooler or freezer section with dairy products. In California I was in one which had fresh vegetables in bags for $1. The veggies looked pretty good too.

A lot of people on fixed incomes shop there, and a lot of people like me who are just thrifty,
 Quoting: Lily o' the Valley


For the veggies and fruit, its a whole other story here. Fruits and vegetables are very inexpensive and in rural areas we have "trade off stands", where agricultural communities trade goods for other stuff they can't produce. Salt, clothes, car parts, pait, varnish and lots of other stuff are traded for 100% fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Last month, I've traded some nails, screws and a roll of barbwire I had and was not using, for 2 gallons of honey, about 2 gallons of fresh squized olive oil and 2 dozen eggs. No money involved. This goes for everything.

Yup! I even keep a calendar of harvesting and region. Next week: Watermelons(squeezed for juice, jelly and candy), yellow melons and potatoes. I also have my own aquaponics greenhouse. It provides me with many veggies and ocasional tilapia, so fresh food isn't a problem to me. But I can't say the same for the rest of the 200 thousand people living in my country.

Re: GLP'ers from all over the world, help me up on a research
I was wondering if you guys would be kind and tell me approximatelly the total cost of these items in your country, preferably converting the value to dollars, so I can have a common denominator. If possible taking into account the cheapest brand possible of each product:

5kg (11 pounds) white rice
2kg (4 pounds) black beans
2 liters of soy oil
250g (0.5 pounds) of cofee
1kg(2 pounds) cornflour
2kg(4 pounds) white sugar
1kg(2 pounds) salt
1 can of tomato extract
500g(1 pound) noodles
250g(0.5 pounds)margerine
4 rolls of toilet paper
2 body soap
1 toothpaste
500g(1 pound) washing powder
2 bars of soap
1 pkg. steel wool
1 match box
400g(0.5 pound) powder milk

Let me explain what it is: This is a basic version of what the government here says that is enough for a person to eat for a whole month. It costs around 100 dollars(about half of the minimum wage). So I was wondering how much it will cost in other countries. Please, this is not trolling, I just want to know.

Seriously, it is! Who needs the rice and beans! Those things you describe OP are the things we have to pay through nose for. Screws and nails are dirt cheap.

Two things to consider: My lifestyle is WAAAAY different than an average city living brazilian which are the vast majority. Second, I don't earn a minimum wage like the majority also. Besides, brazilians can't cosider a meal without rice and beans. We(talking about the majority again) eat them every single day. In fact, people in my region and basically the whole state, don't consider ourselves brazilians. If you come to my state(Rio Grande do Sul) you will think to be somewhere in Germany or Italy.

I already do it myself, but my life is way different than the average brazilian. The vast majority, life in the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, in fact about HALF of the population of the whole country are concentrated in these two cities. This makes tourists having a very wrong idea of what Brazil really is.




BTW, do you have an idea about the prices on these products in your country?

Re: GLP'ers from all over the world, help me up on a research
Live in Vegas near newish 99 Cent Store in middle class area. So 4 rolls of soft, 2-ply, 100 square per roll toilet paper costs only 99 cents. The other items would be also less expensive.

My argument against the welfare food allotment is that it falsely assumes recipients are physically and mentally healthy enough to cook (lifting a kettle of beans isn't easy if you're disabled or injured,) have the utensils including cookware needed, live in a very safe environment where a roommate won't steal your food or get the electricity turned off spoiling everything you've made etc.
Many welfare recipients have to move every few days just to find a secure place without extremely drunk and abusive landlords and neighbors.

Worse is if you're renting a room from someone as you can't afford your own place and that person won't tolerate the smell of beans cooking all day. Or if getting food aid requires you spend so many hours seeking work or attending training you don't have the time or energy to spend all day cooking IF you knew how to do so.

Knew an old, disabled man on food aid. He was very allergic to beans. Same problem with diabetics who aren't allowed to eat white rice, noodles, sugar, or white flour as it causes major health problems. Many people can't drink any form of dairy milk including powdered milk.

There's absolutely no fruit or vegetables in any form in this list. Nor is there any means to wash and dry dishes. Or to dry your body or wash your hair. Washing powder assumes you have a washing machine and/or coins to operate a public machine.

How would you wash your sheets and clothes by hand? Hope you have the physical strength. Where would you dry them? Many places don't allow clotheslines even if you had the rope.

Coffee is useless without paper coffee filters. Each person was told by state welfare authorities to find someone with which to exchange food. Excuse me? That's not all that easy for many people.

The entire system of welfare falsely assumes you have friends and/or family you can consistently rely on to drop everything and come help you without demanding payment in any form in return.

I've helped many, many poor and elderly and extremely sick people on food aid and welfare so I know a lot more than most about the system which is largely run by those who got their jobs because they know the right people.

I've yet to meet ANYONE who has an ounce of common sense, has ever been really poor, or even someone who really knows a person who is truly poor, disabled, seriously ill or so elderly they can barely survive on their own but don't have any alternatives. All of those working in government say the craziest things to those way too "out of it" due to the lack of mental or physical health to even process the most basic suggestions.

Sorry my post is so long but you really need to see why this list is totally impractical for so many.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63200549


I am not on welfare but that list is crazy. I have diabetes and there is no way I could even survive eating that way. I am only allowed 45 grams of carbs per meal.

Rice? I am allowed 1/3 of a cup of rice per meal. Ever try to live off 1/3 of a cup of rice? Yeah that's all carbs. No meat and no vegetables. No person with diabetes could survive eating that stuff.

I understand your concerns and agree with most of them. The thing is, this list is called "basic basket". The prices of these products are one of the bases of the inflation calculation. The government takes and puts back products in it to manipulate these inflation numbers and show them to the public. Selling the idea of "everything is ok".

We don't have public washing machines. If one needs to do laundry, its by hand. There are no prohibitions to hang clothes anywhere as far as I know, so its very common to see lots of clothing like colorful rags waving with the wind. Our elderly? Well, they are "cards out of the deck" as far as the government goes. Most earn LESS than minimum wage but they get our equivalent of EBT cards so the government can say they are ok. To cook, they do what they can. If they are disabled, then they are basically on the death corridor. Our public healthcare is a shame. We have many videos of security cams showing people droping dead on the lines waiting to be see a doctor.

Our system here works like this: A registered worker, contributes to a national security system for retirement. So they work a certain amount of years and they get the right to retire getting a salary according to the amount contributed and the years of contribution. So, one person working like 35 years contributing over the calculation of a minimum wage, will receive a minimum wage after these years for the rest of his life. Sounds good? Well, in practice its a nightmare. The registers are all messed up and there are cases where people worked for 40 even 50 years but the registers show only 20. So, no right to retire, has to work more. Of course if one earns more, the retirement salary will be higher, but there is a "roof", a maximum that the government will pay you. In result, suppose you earn 5000/month and pay accordingly, you will NOT receive this much after your retirement, this is above the "roof", and you will get less than that. Things are so messed up that it will take many posts with walls of text to explain it all.

But thanks for your contribution!

And BTW, this minimum wage you mention, will put a person here in the "A" class, which means, out of many government assistencial programs, higher interest rates, higher taxes and less chances to use public services, like public healthcare, schools and universities and so on.

Finished the list on the suggested woolworth(whatever the name it is) website by our aussie friend. The whole thing will cost about 86 australian dollars. Like about $62.

Re: GLP'ers from all over the world, help me up on a research
I was wondering if you guys would be kind and tell me approximatelly the total cost of these items in your country, preferably converting the value to dollars, so I can have a common denominator. If possible taking into account the cheapest brand possible of each product:

5kg (11 pounds) white rice $12
2kg (4 pounds) black beans $20
2 liters of soy oil $5
250g (0.5 pounds) of cofee $6
1kg(2 pounds) cornflour $8
2kg(4 pounds) white sugar $7
1kg(2 pounds) salt $5
1 can of tomato extract $2
500g(1 pound) noodles $2
250g(0.5 pounds)margerine $3
4 rolls of toilet paper $2
2 body soap $2
1 toothpaste $3
500g(1 pound) washing powder $2
2 bars of soap $2
1 pkg. steel wool $4
1 match box $1
400g(0.5 pound) powder milk $10

Let me explain what it is: This is a basic version of what the government here says that is enough for a person to eat for a whole month. It costs around 100 dollars(about half of the minimum wage). So I was wondering how much it will cost in other countries. Please, this is not trolling, I just want to know.

We need "trade off stands" in the US.

We have one that started on the south side of my island. Haven't made it there yet as it is over 2 hrs traveling time away. Would have to hitchhike 6 miles and then 3 buses.

That is certainly not enough food to feed one person for 30 days. And what is up with the salt? Is it to preserve meat or something?

According to our government "specialists", yes.

A British comedy TV show actor said he only uses three sheets at a time. One to scoop, one to wipe, and one to polish.

Maybe your "specialists" watched that show, lol.

Fry's Market here has 4 rolls of generic TP for 69 cents. It's good stuff to. I've been stocking up for SHTF day (no pun intended). :D
Yeah I did it, and it can't be undone.
