I agree. Since we moved here basic food items have gone up in price a lot. However, most amenities are still much cheaper than in the UK so it does balance it out a bit
According to my purse I would say that the figures are right.

My vacation in Turkey this year cost me MUCH more than any other year. Gas was expensive, food was expensive, even souveniers where even more expensive. Still it was somewhat cheaper per day than vacations I have taken elsewhere recently.

Ooh - I forgot the price of gas/petrol/benzine - a big shock to those of us from the UK - it must be cataclysmic to you bed amerikans!!

This Texan almost fell out of the car when the nice man brought me the bill after filling up the tank. I asked him if the decimal was in the wrong place. He laughed...I cried! At least I got a free car wash!
