wow i hope its only a bad patch for you are you paying a lot out on bills what do you do for a living if you dont mind me asking

A cost of living calculator, i found it about 5 minutes before i read this topic, so dont ask me what they judge it on. I think it calculates the values of living in a certain city, for example, i put in my yearly salary as £12,500 here in the UK, and it said that if i wanted to move to Brisbane and have the same lifestyle, i would only need to earn $9000 p/a. I think thats how it works anyway, i just posted it so somebody else could be arsed to look, cos i couldnt.

Best pies are sold in bakeries here, not in Mrs Macs plastic reheated bags! There is a good pie chain though called 'Jesters'. They do a wide range of 'jaffle' (like made in a toasted sandwich maker)gourmet pies (not bad quality but very small and pricey. Could eat 2-3 if hungry)

Expect to pay around $3 to $5 for a pie. Might be more now as I haven't bought one in over a year. Easy to eat two of them if hungry, so could be $10for a feed.

Supermarket pies vary in price and quality and usually sold in packs of 2, 4 or 6. $4-$7 a pack approx.

a litre. Maybe be cheaper than in uk but you also travel further distances in oz.

$9000 is about 75% of the unemployment benefit for a single person. You planning on living in a tent somewhere near an outback town?

Bakeries up north are at best mediocre....... if they are Brumbys etc.

The odd Vietnamese bakery does come up with a decent pie.

You can't beat a Mrs Macs! ........... and if it aint a Mrs Macs....take it back!

I see Mrs Macs advertising campaign worked on you

If you ever go to Adelaide, try a Balfours pie. Miles better than Mrs Macs will ever be. I will admit though that MM's steak pies have been known to actually have beef chunks in them! A huge shock for a kiwi so used to the aussie 'steak' pie actually being a mince one.

You're making me bloody hungry now............... and I'm on a diet!

Make some homemade soup and have a cup/bowl Simply lovely way to get your veges into you in winter, and diet friendly!

It's 2:00 in the morning; too late to start making loop de loop............. guess I'll have to settle for a nice cuppa tea and a bacon butty!

Mmmmm!! They sound good!
What were those pies that billy connolly (in his tour of oz)was eating in melbourne at a catering van, they were supposed to be a speciality of melbourne. Wouls love to try those..

at speeds probably better for your fuel economy and engine longetivity though.

(Something which many people don't trot out. I can drive everywhere with limits 70-80).
