3 dollars

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

You know those dollar tree places where everything in the store is $1?
You've got three bucks. What three things do you buy?

Here you have to pay sales tax so for $3 you can only get 2 things I sometimes buy a cheap pair of readers and a box of cheap tissues lately as my nose did a marathon all this week.

One gallon of water, two packets of hot dog links (one beef, one chicken - 50 cents each from what I remember from my last stint in the States) and a cantaloupe.

Consume all of that and you'll likely not want to eat again for days.

I think you could fit all that in the budget except the cantaloupe. Fruit (especially fresh) is high.

In Canada nowadays a dollar store (we have a franchise called Dollarama) is only a symbolic gesture, most things cost a little more than a dollar.

I'll buy chips/cheesies and an instant soup that contains a liquid sauce that you add after the boiling water. Bread is a great buy there too but thankfully I'm not that poor the fifty cents to a dollar average difference from supermarkets doesn't matter that much.

Hopefully, I find a bruised one that they've knocked down to 20 cents, that cantaloupe is critical.

Some snacks. Those places are generally good for carrying munchies that I never see anyplace else.
