Can you guess the outrageous price???

Recently, London was named the most expensive city in the world in terms of a place to visit and also in terms of a place of residence. It's no WONDER with prices like the ones I've seen!

So let's play a little game folks...it's called:

Can you guess the outrageous price???
(Prices converted from Pounds to Dollars at the current exchange rate...)

1. 1 Gallon of milk
2. 1 Loaf of bread
3. 1 Dozen eggs
4. 2 Liter of Coke
5. 4 pack of toilet paper
6. 1 Regular size bag of potato chips (crisps)
7. 1 Gallon of gas (petrol)
8. Single movie ticket
9. 1 week travel card on the tube (Zones 1 & 2 only)
10. Average dinner for one (includes one non-alcoholic drink with no refills, main dish, and one side item...NO DESSERT!)

Answers:

1 Gallon of milk = $5.00 This is just crazy for me, considering I drink milk like it's water! I think it's time for me to buy my own cow...

1 Loaf of bread = $2.50 Not a huge deal to many of you I know, but considering how many gosh darn sandiwches people eat over here, every 2 slices adds up - believe me!

1 Dozen eggs = $3.42 The Dooly family tradition of having a big brekfast with scrambled eggs and all the fixin's would end up being just "all the fixins" considering we can down 18 of them EASY! HA!

2 Liter of Coke = $3.00 Good thing I decided to cut down even more on cokes while over here! Now, the only time I drink them (usually) is when I'm at a restaurant...

4 pack of toilet paper = $3.80 Can't be avoided - plain and simple. A girl's gotta have her TP!

1 Regular size bag of potato chips (crisps) = $4.00 Yet again, another good reason to cut down on chips (crisps) as well! (Dorito's was used as the example)

1 Gallon of gas (petrol) = $7.10 As much as I miss Guz (my old Explorer and dear friend....), it's a VERY good thing she didn't come along with me b/c she's quite "thirsty" all the time and I'd end up bankrupt!

Single movie ticket = $16.00 You will NEVER, I repeat NEVER see me over here purchasing a ticket to the movies! Disclaimer: Unless it's a Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, or Matthew McConaughey movie and then I might have a moment of weakness......

1 week travel card on the tube (Zones 1 & 2 only) = $46.00 Actually not THAT bad considering the fact that I don't have a car over here and therefore have no car insurance to pay for. Basically you're talking about $184 for all of your transporation costs for the month. I used to spend more than that per month filling thirsty Guz with gas!

Average dinner for one (includes one non-alcoholic drink with no refills, main dish, and one side item...NO DESSERT!) = $25.00 Ridiculous I know! And this is not even in a *SUPER POSH* restaurant either! However, I've been doing what most people I've found out do NOT do over here; I ask for a to-go box or container to take the leftovers home and eat them the next day. That way I get two meals out of one! Jo laughed at me though when I told her my system b/c she said most people would NEVER think of asking for a to-go box. Hmmmmmm.....

Anyway, how accurate were your predictions??? :-)
