An Indian girl living in London tried to buy goods from a grocery store with a budget of Rs 100. When most of the items like sandwiches and water bottles turned out to be expensive, he finally found something that cost around Rs 75.
London: Imagine, if you go to a shop in India with Rs 100, what can you buy? Some important items will come easily, right? But what if you have to spend these same Rs 100 in England (UK)? An Indian girl living in London did a similar experiment. A travel creator named @veggiewander has shared its video on social media. She went to a grocery store in London with a budget of Rs 100 to see what she could get in that amount.
Half liter water bottle also costlier by Rs 100
The girl went inside the shop and first headed towards the sandwich section. There he liked a cheese and onion sandwich. But when I saw its price, it was worth 1.50 pounds (about Rs 190). This was much more than his budget. After this, he started looking at other things. He picked up a 500ml bottle of water, which cost 1.15 pounds (about Rs 145). This was also out of the budget.
What did you finally get for Rs 100?
Then his eyes fell on a cabbage worth 0.89 pounds (about Rs 113). This was very close to his budget. When she saw a packet of Oreo biscuits, its price was 1.65 pounds (about Rs 209), so she could not buy it either. Finally, he found something that fit his budget. It was a small packet of carrots worth 0.60 pounds, i.e. around Rs 75. At the end of the video the girl told that this was the only thing she could buy in her budget.
Many people have commented on this video. Many people believe that it is not right to compare UK prices with India. Some said that just comparing the prices is not enough, one should also see the difference in salaries between UK and India.
