That is ridiculously cheap! However, Healthcare. For less than the base price (some months) I pay National Insurance which also covers State Pension. Also, for the fee of a "TV licence" we get commercial free channels and pretty good quality TV, though the odd few slip through the gap! But generally here in the UK it's a rip off. I don't know why Americans moan about fuel so much though. Pizzas seem cheap too!
16 Dollars Canadian, So off the top of my head you could get. Atleast two meals at Mcdonalds Couple decent chapter books 12 Pack of beer Around 4 2x4's Thats all I can think of
