Purchasing power is an odd thing, no?

Shall we make a basket of goods and see if we can get something of a consensus? Too bad there isn't a LATomatoes.com like there is http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/ -

Things I always buy (in euros)
Bread - 1.20
Tomatoes, vine ripened - 1.50 /kilo
Leeks - 2.10 /kilo
Eggplant - 1.65 /kilo
Various sheep and goat cheeses - 10 /kilo
Various Fruits ~ 2.50-3.00 /kilo

Things bought regularly, but not weekly
Gazole - 1.35 /liter
Coffee at cafe - 1.10 /injection
Coffee American at cafe - 1.50 per cup (includes free internet)
Olive Oil (going down in price) - 4.50 per liter
5 cheap cigars - 3.20

2 liters of 40 weight - 20.00

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Hi, siegestate! No wine in your list?

By the way, I will be in Sophia Antipolis on Wednesday for a conference. I am arriving on Tuesday around 20h00. Any chance we could have a drink together?
