Living here in St.Pete is so much cheaper than in Finland. Here is a couple of examples of prices.
- One trip by metro costs 20 rubles (about 44 cents), by bus 18 rubles and my marshutka (minibus) 22-26 rubles.
- Pack of cigarettes costs about 27-45 rubles, depending on the label.
- 1 kilo of potatoes costs about 10 rubles in the nearby store
- 2 litres of Pepsi is about 50 rubles (1,11 euros)
- 1 can half a litre can of Baltika 7 (popular beer) is about 25 rubles (55 cents)
- Prices of one bottle of Vodka varies from 60 rubles upwards. You can get a decent bottle (0.7l) for 200 rubles (4,44 euros)
- 1 kilo of bananas = 29 rubles
And the list goes on. I'm not complaining!
