    Food: I was shocked when I came back from Europe to SA, in some cases Europe is a lot cheaper than SA esp. out of major cities. South Africa is a joke, and especially with the fact that we're a MUCH poorer countries, food prices are ridiculous!

    You can get an awesome 3 course meal in Paris for like 8 - 12 euros!

    vodacom, cellc, mtn - dstv. Banking - big ripoff. New cars, bikes, houses.

    Groceries are supposedly cheaper in Europe - and definitely a million times more choice. Really upsets me - we're a fruit growing country but we have no fruit - and little choice.

    In the UK where I am currently petrol went up from 93p/ltr to 95p - about R9.50/ltr so petrol is still cheaper, but banks, car prices and most Hifi/tv equiptment is cheaper. I saw a new 28" Tv for 200 pounds - because they are all going digital here and no one wants them.
    Give me cheaper prices, not valued added packages.
