Behind the glamour - poverty in China

Here’s what I bought from 7-Eleven convenience store: a rice ball (3.5 yuan) and a bottle of yogurt (2.8 yuan)! It's so hard to find stuff under 3 yuan in that store. Hope I won't go hungry too soon.

I bought these items at a supermarket: 280 grams of rice for 1.6 yuan, an egg for 0.8 yuan, a carrot for 0.9 yuan, a head of celery for 1.7 yuan and a potato for 1.1 yuan. Factoring in the cost of water and gas, it seems 6.3 yuan is not enough to fill my belly.
