quicko: $3 rule

There is a $3 rule in Australia. It is very simple: nothing in the country is priced under $3. It doesn't matter what you want to buy or where you want to buy it. You might be after a coffee, a month-old calendar, a toothbrush, a greeting card, a coke, dental floss or a candy bar, but you won't find one for less than $3. Unless maybe it's $2.99.
