I have the following json object that im iterating through:

obj = { '19': { id: '19', price: 5.55},

      '20': { id: '20', price: 10.00} }



$.each(obj, function(index, value){

  if(value.price < 5)

  {

   delete obj[index];

  }     



});

I just want to delete an item from the object under certain conditions. In this case, if the price is less than 5.

I've tried delete, but it doesn't do anything.
