A couple of threads lately made me start to wonder about the cost of things around the world. Lisa's thread on saving money for one. I just went to the store today. I realize we'll have to do a little currancy exchange and things in the US are not metric. How much does it cost to live in your part of the world?
I live in the Seattle area of Washington state.
one gallon of milk can be found for $3.00 but also much higher in the same store
one dozen eggs are about $1.50
cheaper cuts of beef are about $4.00lb
catfish fillets $6.99 lb
most breakfast cereals are between $3 and $4 a box
Braeburn apples were $1.29 a pound, oranges were on sale for .79lb
I usually spend around $150 a week at the grocery store for a family of four. We eat out once a week on average.
Gas is $1.17 at Costco and about $1.29 on up elsewhere for regular unleaded, premium is about $.20 - .30 higher.
Housing is high here. There is a house for sale across the street, 40 years old, three bedrooms two and a half baths with a large family room and office downstairs, one car garage, 8000sq foot lot for $245,000. A similar house down the street sold for $244,000 after 4 days on the market last month.
