" i think americans pay almost the same for stuff as we here in europe. (with the expention of gas & carprices )

of course when we go to the states now, everything is cheap for us, but that's only because the euro is so strong



but ANY european will tell you that 4 bucks for a gallon is dirt cheap.... "


Luckily Egon , your country is not bogged down in the Iraqi Quagmire .

why don't people grow their own weed. I grew a plant about 9 or 10 years ago. i used a pile of seeds a roomante had in a dish, dropped by the side of our rented house, and trimmed the plants once a week. 4 months later my roomate was blown away, and had enough free weed to last like 2 or 3 months. and i don't even smoke weed anymore!!!

Smoking.... 90 dollars a week - that's one pack a day. But paying a high price for gasoline, alcohol and tobacco is nothing to complain about - as medical care is very inexpensive.  And if you're unable to work because of damages, you'll get a good lump of money to make up for it. It would be silly to smoke cigarettes if it wasn't for this.

Food, clothing, and fuel have all rocketed in price,here.

  The PM was given a strong message by the electorate, last thursday.
He'll be booted out in 2 years, if the situation doesn't, dramatically, improve.

With all the talk about the U.S. economy tanking and gas / food / electric / etc prices on the increase i was wondering? How much are ROers outside the states paying for Gas , Milk , Electricity.....etc. Are we americans just a bunch of whiners? I live outside of Wash D.C. and gas in my area for low grade is $3.71 a gallon , a gallon of milk is $3.69 , it costs me roughly $220.00 a month to power and heat/cool my home. Cable tv/ phone/  high speed internet run me about $120.00 a month...What say you? As Bill Oreilly would say................



Petrol in the UK has just topped £5 a gallon for the first time, I believe...so thats about $10.

I think our quarterly electric bill is about £120. Broadband internet is about £80 per quarter and the home phone bill is about £17 a month. Satellite TV can be anything up to about £45 a month, depending on whether you get the movie and sports channels. The TV licence, which is compulsory if you own a TV set, is about £140 a year. Then we have other household taxes like rates/council tax, depending on where you live, the amount of which depends on the size of your home. This is several hundred pounds a year at least

Wages are generally a bit behind what theyd be in the US so I reckon you guys arent doing too badly.

after only being subject to relatively mild inflation for decades the price of petrol here has increased over 50% in the 7 years since 9/11 and is now approx $5.50  a US gallon

presently an AUS$ is worth at least 95 cents US and i think they even hit parity a little while ago - by comparison in '98 when i went to NYC  i was only getting 55 to 60 cents US for the AU$1.00

a bottle  of Jack Daniels here will set you back about AU$40 - Johnny Walker Red about $30.00

apparently, due to a virtual duopoly in the  grocery chain store market here, australian beef is cheaper in california than it is here!!

an ounce of grass $200.00 - $250.00 (south australian prices)

20 cigarettes $10.00 - $12.00

Bear in mind the Aussie dollar is more or less equal to the Yank, and he we go...

Top cable package is $110.00 a month. I just ditched some of it as i hardly watch it. Now i pay $65.00 a month

A "pot" (375ml) of beer is $3.00 at my club. Egon has been there!!!! It's usually $3.30 every where else.

A Big Mac meal deal is around $6.25 for the large.

I get illegal tobacco (IE: Tax free) but i think a packet of 25 ciggies is around$10-11.00.

I'm flying to Queensland next month and that cost me $206.00

My mobile phone is $40.00 a month with $300 worth of calls.

Gas/elec cost me about $400.00 a month combined. Cant recall how much water is.

My broadband is $55.00 a month, which is a fucking rip-off. I'm changining providers soon. Only a saving of $6.00, but the limit is more than double!

Petrol is currently $1.35 a litre

Daily paper is $1.10.

Milk is $3.50 for 3 litres.

Picture magazine, the worlds finest gentlemen's weekly, is $4.25. Thats a good price for tits and shaven pussies (or as Picture calls them "Smoo") and to see all the lovely Aussie housewives in the Home Girls section

Really man! I don't think it's a partisan issue at this point to conserve gasoline. The safety is Israel depends on US!
