Comparing costs

Recently, Isaw a website which showed cost of foodstuff in different parts of the world.

Sometime last week, I happened to buy some vegetables in a nearby village market. After I came come, I realized that it may be a good thing to put up the below snap of whatever I brought and request my blog readers to put up here the cost of the same amount of vegetables in their town.


The amount of different vegetables and their costs are put up in the table below - - -

Beans

Grand total

9.75
89

1 kilogram (kg) equals about 2.2 pounds (lbs). 

Unbelievable . . . but true. When I called one of my friends and made a comment about this, he volunteered to check the costs in his place and get back. The costs totaled approximately 250 INR.


Would like readers to get back regarding this post and tell the cost of vegetables kept in the snap, in their town or city . . .
