The price of this item has gone up since January. It’s now approximately $11.95 for a can of pears. A can of pears is approximately the size of a large melon.
So how much change is this? Well, at the moment it’s like a penny. A penny is worth about 1.8 quid. A quid is about 30 cents. So a can of pears is worth about 11.95.
If you want to buy pears, you can buy them from the supermarket and they will be on the menu. Or you can grow your own (you’re going to need to add about 8 cents a pop for the seeds) and that will set you back about $3.95.
Well the way I look at it is that we can’t change the price of a pears can. It’s all in the numbers. 1.8-3.95 is a lot of pears. The thing is that the penny-sized can of pears is the equivalent of 1.8 quid. In order for you to buy a can of pears, you would need to spend at least 11.95 quid.
The thing is you would need to buy the pears from a supermarket for about a penny-for-a-penny price. If you went to the local grocery store and bought a can of pears for 8.95 you would need to add another 4% to the cost. I am all for more efficient consumption of resources, and I am all for you guys making more money, but the average Joe has to be a little more patient.
I’m glad you’re a guy who doesn’t have to wait a whole week to get his hands on a can of pears, but that was a bit of a slap in the face. It’s also a slap in the face because a can of pears is the equivalent of the average American earning a living wage.
While I understand the average Joe making more money, I have to disagree with you on this one. The average American earning a living wage is a higher percentage of a minimum wage than the average Joe making more money. A very good way to remember this is to think about what it takes to buy a can of pears. If it takes a guy an average of $1.29 to do so, then that means a guy making $8.
The average American earns roughly the same as the average Joe making more money. But that’s not the point. The point is that when you’re buying a can of pears on average, you can make more money than the average Joe making more money. That’s the point. If you could get that exact same amount of money for your pears on average, you’d be in a position to do more with your pears than the average Joe making more money.
This is a very obvious point, but the fact that we can make $8.95 for a can of pears is pretty impressive. The average Joe making $1.29 for the same can of pears would be lucky to earn $9.95. And while that might not be enough to buy a car, it should be enough to buy a home.
