In Australia, one dollar doesn't buy you much. There are very few everyday items that you can get at the supermarket for that amount. If you're lucky you can get a mars bar a can of drink or possibly even a hamburger when McDonald's have their promotions.
In London, one pound is very different. You can get so many items. In particular fruit and veg. The above photo is one common sight in London. Fruit and veg is often sold in bowls, and one bowl is one pound. They lay all the bowls out and fill it with a selection of fruit or veg, and then you just take whatever you are interested in. You can see a bunch of bananas in the back in a bowl. Just one pound. Sadly, the bowl is not included in the price. |

I dispute that about Australia. You just haven't looked hard enough. The markets during close often have bags (pretty substantial in size as well) packed full of random vegs for only $1. So it's a similar concept to the one you're writing about. It's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time ^_~
