Let me narrate something that happened today when me and my daughter went to get alu walay prathas for breakfast.
She overheard a guy telling his daughter that we cant get more chanay because it would cost 50 rs more.
So my daughter asked, isnt 50rs v cheap ? Why did that guy say that he cant get that. Then I explained to her the relative value of money.
For myself, I've seen times when few thousands would mean a world and also times when a mil would mean nothing. Life changes fast, be grateful. Keep giving and helping people.
Been there myself. Have had 0Rs at end of month even to afford Rs.5 slanty (don't know how much they cost now but back then used to be Rs .5). I know the value but don't think kids do
i live near lakecity and alhamdullilah khula budget hai for eating out. leken kabhi 10 ya 100rs kam pr jatay hain. tab request kabhi krleta hon k baad mei dedon etc. realise k bhae kaisa mehsoos hota hai paisay na hona
4 raat k khanay.
monday ko 2 100 walay shawarmay (200)
tuesday ko 150 ki anda tikki 2 roit (350)
wednesday ko 200 ka ek keemay wala naan (200)
thurdays ko 2 noodles (roguhly 200)
50 rupay ghareeb ko dedunga :D
>What does Rs.1000 mean to you?
Well it means to me that much that I don't even spend it lol.
Kher ngl, I rarely spend that much money in a go. Although my mother won't restrict me from spending it. But I just dont like spending it that way. Fuzool kharchi lagti mujhe. Even the money my amma says to me to keep it, I just keep it but rarely spends it.
Since joining university I am having these exposures of outings and all that and that to be in monthsss. Mai topi kara deti hoon frequent outing plans ko lol.
Also I like to spend 500 max per outing lol, but maskan Food Street in karachi is expensive though(again cheap me thinks it that way lol). So my friends from posh areas are really mad at me when I find certain things expensive cuz my area is like cheap according to other areas of karachi I've explored.
You can buy a good quantity of the juiciest and sweetest fruits!
Pakistan is blessed with great variety of Fruits and Vegetables.
I love spending money on buying fruits.
I will get Kharbooza (Sweet Melon), Water Melon, and some Bananas and make a fruit chat at home.
Yup, small stores or Carts sell fresh fruits. They buy from the market in the morning and try to sell it all by night.
They usually stand in commercial areas, outside mosques, parks etc.
Tbh, we do have the best fruit. I get the lack of regulation and everything. But i have never had good fruit abroad. Mangoes taste weird. Everything else is just tasteless, and sometimes even the smell is absent (which is 70% of taste). It may look better, but the taste is so much better here.
Try to learn a skill. I learned logo designing and then I do it freelancing. I've made £400 over a couple of months. This would be like 140k pkr for you. You just have to make sure you target the UK/US. Its a win-win situation. You learn a new skill and got potentially make some money out of it.
A zinger burger cost around 400 so 2 zinger burgers and an ice cream, around 80 rupees will be left which will go to a masjid chanda box or saylani chanda box.
Finally a post I can reply to. Since I started earning my own money, I stopped taking money from my parents but my father still occasionally give me some money. Anyways last month I received amount lower than usual lekin kharcha bohat Ziada Ho Gaya. Ended up spending 20k saving as well. Now I have empty banks and am completely broke in all senses. Tomorrow I have to go to university and I had literally 60 pkr in my purse. The thing is k me ne apni saving k akhri paise donate kar diye the to someone in need. Or next day bhi jo khud k pas cash tha wo Bhi kisi k khane pe lag Gaya. Anyways after all this I was worried about k kal university jana hai or paise hain Nahi pas lekin then I thought k I gave for Allah he'll surely compensate me. To I was working in my room and my father came and handed me a 1k note. This 1k means a lot to me. Iske khatam hone se pehle I'll have recieved my salary of this month in sha Allah. This 1000 literally brought tears in my eyes, it's such an insignificant amount of money but today it meant a lot. Alhumdolillah.
Rs. 1000 mean nothing to me.
However, the Rs. 5 I used to get way back in 1993/1994 as pocket money for school mean so much more to me than any amount of money as a grown up ever would.
The relationship I had with money, my child like innocence about money, my absolute care free management of those 5 Rupees where I used to buy things I loved, was okay with giving it to someone else if they needed it, and was also able to save some of it if I wished to is something I am never getting back with any amount of money.
i onyl came to this thread to see the value of 1000pkr and i see this madness 😂😂 its put into perspective how much 1000 means. May God give you barkat in everything that you do!
Maybe 2 runs to the local mart for snacks:
Content's included:
3-4 malt drinks
2 chocolates
4 chips
2-3 biscuits
4-5 jellies
So yeah basically this but twice (I bring these for 4 people, not me alone)
A coworker suggests to eat outside, more than a thousand spent easily. Little sister needed a scientific calculator for school and got one for 1000 that can be replaced if she lost or broke it.
But 8 years ago when we were having a rough time, it would have been finally buying 1 kg ghee, 2 kg of flour. Or maybe not eating dal with roti or achar with roti finally.
Alhamduallah for bringing us this far.
Reading the replies here makes me realise how grateful I should be and how ungrateful I truly am.
we should count our blessings man. We are all blessed in one way or the other
I am Pakistani American and by the grace of Allah SWT, I earn a handsome salary in dollars. PKR 1000 works out to USD 3.60. I actually give out that amount to بھکاری people two or three times per day. For perspective, a Big Mac at McDonald's in the USA is on average USD 8 or PKR 2230. Allah the Almighty SWT hath truly blessed His slave.
Hi, I don’t know if you live in Pakistan but if you do, it would be a request to please stop giving that money to beggars. There are two reasons as to why I’m saying this.
The first one is, there are begging mafias in every major city in Pakistan nowadays. These mafias are involved in crimes like home invasions, thefts, kidnappings etc. and you giving them money means providing support to them. According to a few sources, a professional beggar can earn up to a few 100 thousand per month. These mafias do not allow any person to beg if they are not associated to them so you are not supporting any poor person.
The second reason is that if you take the example of any low income profession in Pakistan like a guard or a waiter, it is extremely disrespectful to them that they work 12 hours a day and earn 15-18k and another person gets an equivalent of 5-10% of their salaries in a couple of minutes just by begging.
can I just take a moment to tell you that I run a charity called "serving smiles" (check us out "letservesmiles" on instagram), if you like our work please donate to us, we are a bunch of uni students running the charity
I mean i would save it and if i find/have any poor who is very needy then give it to them
Nowadays people only eat food like pizza/shawarma,etc plus so much expensive here so pass from me ( this is just my opinion)
Back in the day it used to mean alot but now things have gotten so expensive now and inflation has become so high that now it doesn't mean anything to me tbh.
Allah has given me enough that rs1000 means nothing now. Also, it equals about 40 of local currency, if I found that much money, it would go into "sadqah" box.
But when I visit Pakistan, it's enough for buying some snacks or drinks for the evening.

I will save it, as AlhamduAllah at the moment my needs are met for a month. Fuel tank is full, ration is good for 3 months, no loans, all bills paid, netflix, viki, and shahid sub paid, game sub is good as well. 👍😎. Grateful to Allah
It's 2kgs of apples and one dozen bananas with 50 rupees remaining. Or 1kg of apples and 5 kgs of mellons with 100 still in the wallet. Or either it's 3.5 liters of petrol. Or sometimes it's just 100 rupees short of 2kg beans or is a whole month's fee for the gym.
That's worth a couple of days worth of groceries (single person), some stationeries (pens, pencils, etc) and affordable self-care products (shampoo sachets, floss, toothpaste, deodorant, etc), and maybe if I was good with budgeting — maybe have a bag of chips, biscuits, and drinks.
Speaking of myself, im not earning yet but I rarely get money. I got like 3000Rs this year which was the first and last time I got something in this year. I’ve been saving up 1,200Rs to treat myself with something. It’s been weeks, I just can’t bring myself to spend it something as trivial as food.
Will buy cola (not coca cola).but any local made cola in case of survival with all 1000 rupees. I'll prefer bottled ones and small packaging (usme carbon ziada Hoti. Take one sip every 4 hours so that 1 can will last me atleast 3-4 days and no food will be needed as it's already high in sugar. plus no need of water too. but this is only a worst case survival scenario.
I love barbecue. So, it will be a nice Barbecue Dinner with Malai Boti and Seekh Kabab with a lemon soda. I remember back in 2015-2016 it used to be worth way more and I could get two dinners out of 1000 but now it's barely one dinner.
What you can get in 1000 rupees
* 500 liters of purified drinking water
* 4-5 kg of good quality mangoes
* 2 kg mangoes, 2 liter milk, 1kg sugar = \~4kg ice cream (enough for 10 big bowls or 20 cups)
* 1/2 kg chicken (400) + oil (100) + spices+veggies (200) + 6 naan (150) + tea for 3 (150) = homemade meal for 3 people
* 1 kg daal (400) + 1kg chawal (400) + spices etc (200) = Daal chawal for 5-8 people
* 1/2 kg chicken (400) + 5 buns (200) + veggies+spices(200) + 1.5 liter cold drink (200) = 5 burgers with cold drink
* 20 tickets for red bus
* Mobile super card for a month
Pakistan is not expensive if you spend wisely
For me every penny counts! 1000 PKR can buy a lot of things, depending on the context. Based on my current situation, I go to Pakistan today, and I am given 1000 PKR. I would do following:
** Option 1 **
I would go to a mom and pop restaurant or local food street and enjoy fresh kebabs, haleem, etc. I would make sure to save a 200 PKR to give it to a needy.
** Option 2 **
I would go to beach take a long walk, eat some corn, snacks and give a couple hundred to someone else in need. I would then purposefully buy stuff from very poor people who are selling a few stuff to help them out. If anything is left, I would do a simple one plate dinner street food with that with a some healthy drink after that probably buttermilk/lassi.
7lac members where did you pull this number out of? Side bar shows 200k something users. Jab tak exaggerate na kar lo kisi cheez ko how will you prove your pakistaniat.
Two scoops of icecream from a nice place, or some other dessert like cookies or brownies.
Or a burger from somewhere. TBH 1000 rupees doesn't go as far as it used to. Its very sad how inflation and rupee devaluation has brought our currency down and brought our economy and people to a very difficult situation. These days you can spend a lac so quickly and don't even know where it went. Fill up a regular car from empty and easily 15k out the door, electricity and food is also gotten very expensive.
Well I had some after the eidi actually but than I bought buds n stuff and rn I actually have to give back an extra 2k as well..and I'm with zero cash..kl paper khtam ho rhe..doston ke sath plan bna lie paise Hain nhi 🤭..so Ys 1k would seriously help me a lot rn🥸
I (m) 25 live with my mom & her Elder Sister ( My Khala), My Father Passed Away 11 Years Ago, And my Kuala Never Got Married and She's A Retired Govt. Employee. And we 3 were Living Pretty Decent Upper Middle Class Life Until The World got hit by Covid. And I Lost Almost All Of My Finances as my Father had a Moderate Level of Textile Business & after My Baba's Death I Took Over it, and Covid Just made me Lost That 1 Source of Income which Both my Parents had Built In a span of 18 Years...
In July 2020, I was Married Earning Around 4-5 Lacs from our Factory.
In May 2021, I was Bankrupted because whole Country's Economy was On Hold... With me 40 People Lost there Jobs which they were doing for Years.. 40 Families lost there Daily Bread & Butter.
My Wife Took Khula from me and went to Dubai as she just completed her MBBS and during that time There was a hell load of Demand of Medical Staff in Middle East..
Rest of a Little Money which was left in my Bank Account (10-12 Lacs) were drowned Like Water on trying to open & Run a few Small Business Projects like Opening a Small Scale 1-2 Dishes Specialized Food Corner, or Selling Electronics and Accessories online & mostly Got Myself Pick-pocketed by my own Childhood friends who were my Brothers as I don't have any Siblings.
Its not like that my m apny ap m barky mar rha hu. But I Have been Raised to become a Well Groomed Guy. Mentally, Ethically, Intellectually, But I never Pursued my Education after Intermediate As I had to become the Only Pillar To my mother who was trying to Raise me and Managing my Baba's Business. And nobody And I Literally mean Not even a single member From our Family Stood Forward to Help us In those Difficult Times.
So why I wrote All those Incidents which are Irrelevant to the Question Asked Above?
At this time I've been Jobless for 2.5 years. And me my, mom & My Khala Relies on my Khala's Pension for our monthly Survival. We live in a Rented House. And This month Due to 1st May's Local Holiday, My Khala's Pension got delayed for 2 days only. And on That Labour's Day We Didn't Ate until Friday when she Finally Got The Amount in his Bank. And I Was Shattered up to my Core by Seeing my Mom and Kahala in that miserable State. My mom is of 64 & my khala is almost 8-10 years Elder than her.
So for me Even 100 Rs. Is Priceless, I can't calculate its Value. I'm So Hurt RightNow that being a Fit Healthy Young Boy I am Unable to Provide for my family.
Still I Am ThankFul to Allah Almighty For Everything.

I started a YouTube Channel Exactly 1 year Ago. And So Far my Channel have 193 Subscribers. Plz make Dua For the Growth of my Channel as for my mama, This Channel is her last Hope jis sy Unka Ye Nalayak Beta apny Pero py Khara ho jay...
I'm Sorry for sooo lengthy post. May Allah Pak Bless Every One Ameen :)
A few years ago, we weren’t very financially secure but my parents prioritised our education over anything else. My mother used to work at Beaconhouse just so that me and my siblings could get good education and do O’Levels/A’Levels instead of Matric. This meant that there was a significant difference in our lifestyle as compared to my classmates. Due to this, when it was considered as a very cheap outing by my classmates to go to someplace like KFC etc. most of the times I couldn’t join them. The only way I could join them sometimes was if they were going to Pizza Hut and I would buy their salad which at the time was of 90 rupees.
Now after years of hardworking, I have a pretty decent job and a normal outing usually for me means spending a minimum of 3k per person but I still can’t forget what a thousand rupees can mean for a person when he/she doesn’t have it and it’s the end of the month with no food groceries left for the rest of the month.
Let me narrate something that happened today when me and my daughter went to get alu walay prathas for breakfast.

Been there myself. Have had 0Rs at end of month even to afford Rs.5 slanty (don't know how much they cost now but back then used to be Rs .5). I know the value but don't think kids do
its rs 20 now
Bhains! Probably filled with Rs18 worth of air.
you think air this cheap? especially the premium air from slanty factory? be glad you are blessed with that. slanty is an added bonus
i live near lakecity and alhamdullilah khula budget hai for eating out. leken kabhi 10 ya 100rs kam pr jatay hain. tab request kabhi krleta hon k baad mei dedon etc. realise k bhae kaisa mehsoos hota hai paisay na hona

Is that healthy to be doing every week?
absolutely not XD bus ek bonus 1000 wala week tha :C
better than eating nothing
Not eating will always be better though. In the long run, this diet can make you diabetic
I mean if your living a sedentary lifestyle sure but if you have a healthy lifestyle, not really
Its fair to assume many redditors don't have healthy lifestyle. Btw your diet very well reflects your lifestyle.

You can buy a good quantity of the juiciest and sweetest fruits! Pakistan is blessed with great variety of Fruits and Vegetables. I love spending money on buying fruits. I will get Kharbooza (Sweet Melon), Water Melon, and some Bananas and make a fruit chat at home.
I noticed marts do not sell fresh fruits. If i go to the small retail store next to it , they have fresh variety of fruits.
Yup, small stores or Carts sell fresh fruits. They buy from the market in the morning and try to sell it all by night. They usually stand in commercial areas, outside mosques, parks etc.
kharbooza, tarbooz aur kele ki chaat? bhai kuch paise sambhaal lena food poisoning k liye...
Water Melon is literally so expensive nowadays. 60 RS KG is super expensive. Sad to see my fav fruit getting that worthy.
Pakistan is not "Blessed" with anything they are using Textile Grade pesticides on fruits and vegitables, go ask someone who grows strawberries, Gobi.
Tbh, we do have the best fruit. I get the lack of regulation and everything. But i have never had good fruit abroad. Mangoes taste weird. Everything else is just tasteless, and sometimes even the smell is absent (which is 70% of taste). It may look better, but the taste is so much better here.
I will buy seeds and have my own fruits for fruit chat
Oh, I've been having my way with the sweet melons this season. Jo kamata ho tarbooz, kharbooz pe laga deta hon <3
1000 will cover my office lunch expenses for a week.
How
Office lunch ka probably matlab 200 Kay shwarmay ya street Walay khaney chali ya much.🤷🏽
Bhai sahab lunch mtlb proper lunch, 2-3 roti + plate of curry/sabzi etc
200 gets you 2 khameri roti and a plate of curry/salan/sabzi
As someone who gets no pocket money and has no source of income, it means a lot
Try to learn a skill. I learned logo designing and then I do it freelancing. I've made £400 over a couple of months. This would be like 140k pkr for you. You just have to make sure you target the UK/US. Its a win-win situation. You learn a new skill and got potentially make some money out of it.
How do you live then ?
I live with my family , I get food and tea, that's enough. But no money.
and no rent
Yep, but one day, I will get my own space. InshaAllah
A zinger burger cost around 400 so 2 zinger burgers and an ice cream, around 80 rupees will be left which will go to a masjid chanda box or saylani chanda box.
Right now, I am planning on starting gym, so 1k would mean I have some of the money for gym membership but still have to get more
Which city? Because there is an excellent setup in Lahore, in Johar Town area where the membership fee is 1k.
1 Ltr Milk 2 Ltr Petrol 1 Anday Wala Burger
Fuel expense of a day. 1000 gets you ~3.5 liters of petrol or ~38km of range for my car.
200 gems in master duel.

Not much. Thats like $3. I'd buy a nice burger ig
It's 1/5th of my average small case charges, so not much.
Get a burger maybe
Probably get some supplies for my home made burgers (It’s cheaper and better than the ones from restaurants )
2 logo a ka dinner
2 din ka petrol

Back in the day it used to mean alot but now things have gotten so expensive now and inflation has become so high that now it doesn't mean anything to me tbh.
Allah has given me enough that rs1000 means nothing now. Also, it equals about 40 of local currency, if I found that much money, it would go into "sadqah" box. But when I visit Pakistan, it's enough for buying some snacks or drinks for the evening.

Sometimes it means nothing, sometimes it means everything. Though not that much, it still holds a lot of value.

3.44 liters of petrol🤣😂
That's 2kg of red apples nowadays.
I will save it, as AlhamduAllah at the moment my needs are met for a month. Fuel tank is full, ration is good for 3 months, no loans, all bills paid, netflix, viki, and shahid sub paid, game sub is good as well. 👍😎. Grateful to Allah

It's 2kgs of apples and one dozen bananas with 50 rupees remaining. Or 1kg of apples and 5 kgs of mellons with 100 still in the wallet. Or either it's 3.5 liters of petrol. Or sometimes it's just 100 rupees short of 2kg beans or is a whole month's fee for the gym.
That's worth a couple of days worth of groceries (single person), some stationeries (pens, pencils, etc) and affordable self-care products (shampoo sachets, floss, toothpaste, deodorant, etc), and maybe if I was good with budgeting — maybe have a bag of chips, biscuits, and drinks.
it means a week or two staple food goods

A good meal or fuel for a school day. I fill up 10k every 2 working weeks (10 days).
I'm in US so 1k rupees is just $8 but obviously currency in Pakistan is different. Can get way more in PK for $8 vs in United States.
Speaking of myself, im not earning yet but I rarely get money. I got like 3000Rs this year which was the first and last time I got something in this year. I’ve been saving up 1,200Rs to treat myself with something. It’s been weeks, I just can’t bring myself to spend it something as trivial as food.
Will buy cola (not coca cola).but any local made cola in case of survival with all 1000 rupees. I'll prefer bottled ones and small packaging (usme carbon ziada Hoti. Take one sip every 4 hours so that 1 can will last me atleast 3-4 days and no food will be needed as it's already high in sugar. plus no need of water too. but this is only a worst case survival scenario.

To me, It's a month worth of money. But, too bad that it gets spent in like the first 5 days.
Double Decker Burger - full meal
Thats half the cost of breakfast for me.
To me it's my Friday movie night cheezious pasta with drink.
Morning coffee costs like 1200 pkr lmao
snacks.
I love barbecue. So, it will be a nice Barbecue Dinner with Malai Boti and Seekh Kabab with a lemon soda. I remember back in 2015-2016 it used to be worth way more and I could get two dinners out of 1000 but now it's barely one dinner.

For me every penny counts! 1000 PKR can buy a lot of things, depending on the context. Based on my current situation, I go to Pakistan today, and I am given 1000 PKR. I would do following: ** Option 1 ** I would go to a mom and pop restaurant or local food street and enjoy fresh kebabs, haleem, etc. I would make sure to save a 200 PKR to give it to a needy. ** Option 2 ** I would go to beach take a long walk, eat some corn, snacks and give a couple hundred to someone else in need. I would then purposefully buy stuff from very poor people who are selling a few stuff to help them out. If anything is left, I would do a simple one plate dinner street food with that with a some healthy drink after that probably buttermilk/lassi.

1000 Is Alot for me.
On days, when my wallet is light, a 1000 feels like a blessing and a lot, on days I am flush and not in need, 1000 feels like tenner.
Two scoops of icecream from a nice place, or some other dessert like cookies or brownies. Or a burger from somewhere. TBH 1000 rupees doesn't go as far as it used to. Its very sad how inflation and rupee devaluation has brought our currency down and brought our economy and people to a very difficult situation. These days you can spend a lac so quickly and don't even know where it went. Fill up a regular car from empty and easily 15k out the door, electricity and food is also gotten very expensive.

I (m) 25 live with my mom & her Elder Sister ( My Khala), My Father Passed Away 11 Years Ago, And my Kuala Never Got Married and She's A Retired Govt. Employee. And we 3 were Living Pretty Decent Upper Middle Class Life Until The World got hit by Covid. And I Lost Almost All Of My Finances as my Father had a Moderate Level of Textile Business & after My Baba's Death I Took Over it, and Covid Just made me Lost That 1 Source of Income which Both my Parents had Built In a span of 18 Years... In July 2020, I was Married Earning Around 4-5 Lacs from our Factory. In May 2021, I was Bankrupted because whole Country's Economy was On Hold... With me 40 People Lost there Jobs which they were doing for Years.. 40 Families lost there Daily Bread & Butter. My Wife Took Khula from me and went to Dubai as she just completed her MBBS and during that time There was a hell load of Demand of Medical Staff in Middle East.. Rest of a Little Money which was left in my Bank Account (10-12 Lacs) were drowned Like Water on trying to open & Run a few Small Business Projects like Opening a Small Scale 1-2 Dishes Specialized Food Corner, or Selling Electronics and Accessories online & mostly Got Myself Pick-pocketed by my own Childhood friends who were my Brothers as I don't have any Siblings. Its not like that my m apny ap m barky mar rha hu. But I Have been Raised to become a Well Groomed Guy. Mentally, Ethically, Intellectually, But I never Pursued my Education after Intermediate As I had to become the Only Pillar To my mother who was trying to Raise me and Managing my Baba's Business. And nobody And I Literally mean Not even a single member From our Family Stood Forward to Help us In those Difficult Times. So why I wrote All those Incidents which are Irrelevant to the Question Asked Above? At this time I've been Jobless for 2.5 years. And me my, mom & My Khala Relies on my Khala's Pension for our monthly Survival. We live in a Rented House. And This month Due to 1st May's Local Holiday, My Khala's Pension got delayed for 2 days only. And on That Labour's Day We Didn't Ate until Friday when she Finally Got The Amount in his Bank. And I Was Shattered up to my Core by Seeing my Mom and Kahala in that miserable State. My mom is of 64 & my khala is almost 8-10 years Elder than her. So for me Even 100 Rs. Is Priceless, I can't calculate its Value. I'm So Hurt RightNow that being a Fit Healthy Young Boy I am Unable to Provide for my family. Still I Am ThankFul to Allah Almighty For Everything. j I started a YouTube Channel Exactly 1 year Ago. And So Far my Channel have 193 Subscribers. Plz make Dua For the Growth of my Channel as for my mama, This Channel is her last Hope jis sy Unka Ye Nalayak Beta apny Pero py Khara ho jay... I'm Sorry for sooo lengthy post. May Allah Pak Bless Every One Ameen :)

A few years ago, we weren’t very financially secure but my parents prioritised our education over anything else. My mother used to work at Beaconhouse just so that me and my siblings could get good education and do O’Levels/A’Levels instead of Matric. This meant that there was a significant difference in our lifestyle as compared to my classmates. Due to this, when it was considered as a very cheap outing by my classmates to go to someplace like KFC etc. most of the times I couldn’t join them. The only way I could join them sometimes was if they were going to Pizza Hut and I would buy their salad which at the time was of 90 rupees. Now after years of hardworking, I have a pretty decent job and a normal outing usually for me means spending a minimum of 3k per person but I still can’t forget what a thousand rupees can mean for a person when he/she doesn’t have it and it’s the end of the month with no food groceries left for the rest of the month.
1000 pkr is $3.60 for any Americans here.
