      That is interesting, so fairly comparable to UK prices for basics like oats and root veg if I look at what I normally spend in Aldi. But a full time minimum wage here is £25k and while housing is expensive if you house share it can become quite a bit easier to get by.

      I keep hearing energy is expensive in Europe but I only bought a house after the price rises so I don’t really have a comparison, no gas as I have a heat pump but I don’t really pay attention to water or energy use because they are both so cheap its not really something I have thought to bother about. They are a tenth of my mortgage.

          Oh wow, my electrical bill is about £100 a month and I am currently nice and warm too. I think it dropped from about 27p/kWh to 24 somewhat recently, don’t think it ever went over 30 but the media was shit at reporting on it. Instead of the actual rates they would always report on it based on what they felt was an average usage.
