    Even without the discounts, its still better in the US. Comparing LA to Cebu City is ludicrous and far beyond an apples and oranges comparo.

    CutieLadybug,

    Comparing costs is ONE thing.....they haven't even began to compare QUALITY of life.

    People get any serious illness here and they are quick to hop on a plane and get out for REAL medical care.

    Plots pretty much the same for the uk, vegetables are far cheaper in the uk then here especially potatoes. Robinsons sell 1kg= 110 php verses the uk 5kgs bags in supermarket for same price. bacong market php 60 kg!!! Carrots in hypermart another example two carrots php 55!! Uk 1kg bag= php 25
    Also there a lot bargains and savings to be had like buy one get one and you can save a packet but nothing like that here.
    Look at the garantee here on elec goods, 6 months if lucky unless high end products.also gas for the average Filipino is expensivebut at least here the price does go down sometimes unlike the uk! £1.50 ltr there now and 86% gov tax, cigarettes £7 for twenty!
    But at least it's not cold here :smile:

    Dave is correct on all. Living here is cheaper and imports almost as well. Rent is by far very expensive in LA in comparison. A night out here for drinks is 10x less than USA. Party on guys!
