UK, not London: The cheapest I can buy things is: 2 litres milk from a supermarket, 78p ($1.55) Coke - no idea, I never buy any soft drinks Dozen free range eggs from the local butchers, £1.40 ($2.79) Sliced loaf of bread, shop on my road, from a local bakery, 80p ($1.59). Named brands similar price. The supermarket does sell revolting bread-shaped items for about 10p. Petrol £1.03/litre ($7.74/US gallon) ---

Dallas, TX 1/2 gallon of milk. Probably about $1.50. I usually buy the full gallon which is $1.99 2 litre bottle of pop. $1.00 12 eggs. Probably one dollar unless there isn’t a sale. Sliced loaf of bread. I buy expensive bread. However, I could easily buy a loaf for .99 cents. Gallon of gas. I buy premium. My car requires it. That was $3.20 last time. So, regular unleaded would have been about $3.00 per gallon. ---
