For the next week I'm on a road trip to see if I can get 40% cuts in disposable spending by being in a different city.
Liverpool, Glasgow, Inverness, Edinburgh, York and Coventry are on the list to check London prices against the rest of the country.
Let's start by setting out some benchmarks:
- Pint of real ale (non wetherspoons): £3.20
- Loaf of posh bread: £1.19
- Sandwich: £3.50
- Steak and chips (gastropub): £16
- Cheapest gastropub main: £9.50
- Bus fare: £2 (£1.20 on Oyster)
Other spending I'll compare along the way...

Been so long, can't remember how much a pint costs.
ReplyDeletePosh bread costs about the same
Sandwich can cost that much
Dunno about steak and chips or gastropub meal
Bus fare though, I can help you with that. For c30 min journey from my village into nearest town costs £3.15 (return). I reckon this is steep. Joyous rurality
