Top Cats Hat   10 #5 Posted December 20, 2018 Food has always been cheap in the US because of the economy of scale as well as generally lower animal welfare and food standards. Also fuel is very cheap there which keeps transport costs down.  Things are cheap but everything else is very expensive in the states. Not a good place to be poor! 😕 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

With what they save on what I mentioned they can afford medical insurance.  And if out of work they can claim unemployment benifit and that would go further than ours.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

spilldig   176 #12 Posted December 21, 2018 It's not called rip-off Britain for nothing though. A few years ago when we were stateside one of our friends over there was moaning about the price of gas/petrol which worked out at just over 50p a gallon when it was five pounds a gallon here.
