[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 256221, member: 2882"] A new release CD/DVD here will run about $15-20US.. A half gallon of milk is probably right about $1.75 here, at full price.. Eggs can always be had for $1/doz, so we've got you there :lol: .. Store-brand bread can be had for $1/loaf, but brand-name is about $2.. Dunno the price of butter, but $2.50/lb doesn't sound out of the question. Levis -- *real* Levis, not their crappy "Levi Strauss Signature" line of imported JUNK -- would easily cost $40-50 here.. Assuming a 40 hour work week at £385 a week, it looks like you guys make about £9.60/hr.. Like you've seen some of the others here post, the 'basic' wage in the US probably runs somewhere around $7.50-8.00. What I mean is, you can get $7.50/hr with almost no skills and be up to $8 in no time. But, when you figure that $'s and £'s seem to run lockstep, 1:1, when it comes to retail prices, it would appear that our cost of living is higher here.. Well, except for the price of fuel.. Then again, you guys typically don't have to travel nearly as far as we do.. For instance, my round trip to work is about 62 miles -- 100 kilometers. :o [/QUOTE]
