What the New Dollar Rate of EGP 13 Will Get You Abroad

 

Lately, we’ve heared news of the US dollar reaching new highs in the black market but we never thought it’d be this bad. A little bird just told us that USD 1 has reached EGP 13, others even say it could reach EGP 18. We are no Economist, but that means only one thing: yalahwi.

 

The things you thought you could afford back in the day are probably not within your reach anymore. Don’t trust? We scoured the Internet for the essentials you would naturally buy at any supermarket or store while traveling abroad and this what we found.

 

 

This bubble gum will cost you EGP 97,5 

 

 

Lol, quitting bubble gums for life.

 

 

While this small bottle of Coca-Cola will cost you EGP 168

 

 

Soda is bad for you anyway. Right? RIGHT???

 

 

You thought you could afford these mini pouches of chocolate? Think again, they’re EGP 52

 

 

Ugh, chocolate is also bad for you aslan.

 

 

This toothpaste will cost you EGP 71,50 

 

 

Hello bad teeth and cavities.

 

 

You’ll think twice before having a baby because these wipes are EGP 185,12 

 

 

“Ana mosh 3ayez akhalef ya mama ba2a fe eh!”

 

 

LOL, these tissues cost EGP 117

 

 

You won’t be able to stop the tears when watching Game of Thrones anymore.

 

 

This iPhone case that’s not even that pretty costs EGP 377

 

 

*smashes iPhone’s screen*

 

 

The new iPhone 7 Plus will cost EGP 14,794

 

 

Who needs an iPhone or a case ya gama3a?

 

 

You know how girls usually travel abroad to buy designers bags because they’re cheaper? Well, in your face. This Louis Vuitton bag costs EGP 42,250

 

 

Are you joking me? I could literally buy a car with that amount of money.

 

 

WE SAID THIS: Basically ya gama3a, no one is ever affording anything anymore, and if the value of the Egyptian pound keeps going down the drain, I’m really afraid of what’s going to happen to Egypt.
