Contest // Topic of the week №17 // What can you buy for 1 STEEM in my city?| My submission

I live in the Maldives, a country in South Asia that is one of the world's most beautiful countries and a popular tourist destination. But, to tell you the facts, anything here is extremely costly. So when I saw the contest's theme of the week, I was very disappointed because I didn't know what I should present for this contest because I only have one steem to buy stuff with.

I looked up the current value of one steem in Maldivian currency (MVR or Rufiya) and discovered that 1 steem is worth 16.68 MVR. Then, I began searching for the price tags of the items I had recently purchased in order to participate in this competition. Since this is such a wonderful competition, I don't want to miss out on it. So, finally, I've gathered some information regarding what can I buy spending one steem in my city. So with this little amount of money I can buy any of these following items in my city-

---

1. EGGS:

With 1 steem I can buy 8 eggs (as each egg costs 2 MVR), which is a nutritious food to eat and beneficial for our health.

---

2. TOMATOES:

1 kg of tomatoes (approximate price=16 MVR), that can be used for Salads and great source of vitamin C.

---

3. POTATOES:

1 kg of potatoes (approximate price=15 MVR). Potato is a versatile food that can be prepared in a variety of ways and is an excellent source of energy. Potato is a staple food in many countries.

4. FRUITS:

I can buy 1 apple (6 MVR),1 pear (8 MVR) or 1 apple and 1 orange (6 MVR). This fruits are nutritious, rich of vitamins and therefore, we can include it in our diet plan for healthy lifestyle.

5. Surgical Masks:

Wearing a mask is a must in this pandemic scenario. To shield ourselves from the infection, we must wear masks. I can get 3 surgical masks (1 mask= 5MVR) for 1 steem, which is fantastic.

There are a lot of stuff I can buy with 1 steem, but just in limited quantities, which isn't bad and still can make a difference.

I'm thrilled to be a part of this contest hosted by @slon21veka. Thank you so much for this amazing contest.
