Expensive Perth
Anyone else finding Perth very expensive, I am tired of paying $10 for a beer in the city, or $9 outside at my local.
Yesterday I paid $9 for an ice cream at Hillarys. Madness, madness I tell ya
It all seems bloody expensive, I could be buying drinks in London or New York for less or similar prices and Perth isnt in the same kind of league to be able to demand those prices.
Opinions, rants.....

Re: Expensive Perth
Cant disagree with the OP...
However I've saved several thousand pounds this week not flying out of a snowy heathrow to seek a bit of sun.... I think I'll go and buy myself an overpriced ice-cream to celebrate

Re: Expensive Perth
I don't go out to drink, so can't comment on the price of beer. However, I just got back from the driving range where a morning's entertainment cost me all of $16.

No wonder there are always queues in places like Macdonalds, KFC and Hungry Jacks.
Maybe those on six figure salaries don't mind paying the silly prices but not all of us are on high wages.
I dread it when my husband tells me we are meeting friends for dinner at some over-priced restaurant in Perth or Fremantle. I could buy a fortnight's groceries with what we pay for me, hubby and our son, aged 10, for a meal without drinks.

Re: Expensive Perth
Yep it's pretty shocking to shop here (in the Western suburbs at any rate) if you don't have the time to traipse to outer lying spots to grab the bargains...
Perhaps with the imminent arrival of Aldi all this will change

My PPP for a pint at $10/GBPeso3
AU - 5min 40 sec
UK - 5min 10sec
So UK is a bit more affordable for me on this one
There's a great ice cream place in Kalamunda that sells awesome ice cream at $3.50 for 2 scoops
