We don't appreciate how cheap good-quality food is in the UK. We visit our son in New Zealand every year and honestly, the food prices take your breath away! People economise by only eating meat or fish a couple of times a week. Even the home grown veg are expensive though.
I visited Calgary and then Vancouver last year . What a difference in grocery prices . I too have fallen in love with Canada . Pristine and very friendly people.
I live in Alberta. The joke around here is that B.C. doesn't mean British Columbia, it means Bring Cash - and lots of it. B.C. is known to be VERY expensive, and Vancouver especially is not cheap. The housing prices are INSANE.
Goodness. Have the best time, we visited Canada last year and fell in love with it, we visited Vancouver City and Vancouver Island, as well as other places. Isn’t Vancouver City one of those most expensive places in the world?
