[quote=”sweikert925″]Oh, one more thing – to get the equivalent Chicago prices I sometimes had to pro-rate it because of different package sizes. For instance, I saw 3 liter bottles of 7Up and Pepsi in CR but here we only get 2 liter bottles, so I multiplied the 2 liter Chicago price by 1.5 to get the equivalent 3 liter US price.[/quote]
Nice job Sweikert! I too came to the same conclusion as you during my month-long stay and due diligence tour! Eating locally is THE way to go — and my wife and I really miss the bazillion local sodas to eat at! Nothing like some local food, cooked by locals, fantastic quality, better for me AND low prices!! Puts McD’s to shame!!
As far as overall cost of living, being from Texas, one of the first things I’ll love to ditch is my $9-12K annual property tax!! Can buy a LOT of rum with that!!
Thx!
