What can you get for 99 cents (or 61 pence if, like me, you’re in the UK)? Not a lot, usually.
In the UK, you can buy a 40g bar of Aero. Now, I love Aero, but it would take me longer to unwrap a 40g bar than it would to eat it.
You can get a whopping 57g Bounty bar but, again, it’s not exactly filling, is it?
A bottle of wine will cost anything from £6 ($9.68) upwards. Very nice, but how long does a bottle of wine last? Okay, don’t answer that one. :)
If I wanted to go to the cinema tonight and spend a couple of hours watching a film, it would set me back £7.25 ($11.70) or £9.40 ($15.17) if I wanted the 3D experience.
So you’d imagine that 99 cents - or 61 pence - wouldn’t buy you a lot.

Wow, those are all on sale?!
As for the 99 cents thing...sometimes it breaks my heart that people forget what a fantastic deal a book is. I mean, 99 cents for hours (sometimes a couple days) of entertainment?! A movie's only 2 hours and yet people pay $10-15. I'd rather disappear into a book any day!
Exactly, Anne Marie. A book has to be the best entertainment ever!
And yes, all those are on sale. :)
Ooo, there are some good ones I know on that list (and some I don't!)
Thanks for the heads up. I love a shopping bargain.
Oh! Thank you for sharing.
Me too, J! :)
You're welcome, Rita. :)
I've bought a Dylan Scott and looking forward to it, Shirley. Would have bought more books but my kindle has too many unread books - I've just got to stop!
Wow, thank you so much, Mike. I hope you enjoy it!
I hear you on the Kindle problem. It's far too easy to click the Buy button. :)
