What Can You Buy For 5 Dollars?

What can you get for five bucks? Not much these days. It is quite easy to say goodbye to an Abe Lincoln

Do the drive through at Dunkies and get a coffee for a friend and you may as well tell them to keep the change.

Drop off your laundry at the local laundromat (I love ) and for 5 bucks I get back a crisp pair of pants or two men’s shirts.

You can, amazingly, get a healthy lunch at and have change left over.

You can mail 11 letters to your friends and family—but perhaps you should pocket that one and Facebook them instead.

The point is that $5 doesn’t go very far these days. Imagine my sheer delight when I stumbled upon the website fiverr.com

Fiverr is a marketplace for gigs that are priced at $5. Essentially, you can sell and buy tasks for $5. So anyone can create a gig for small service on the site, and visitors can accept gigs as well. Gig prices are fixed at $5. Buyers can order gigs and are required to pay for the gig in advance.

So think about it..all those dreaded tasks you continually put off, may just be achievable on this website.

Check it out for yourself, but be prepared...you may start to wonder who you will send the personalized video of an unknown woman singing the song of your choice in a hot dog costume.

Now that’s value!
