Why is Moskau at 3. place? Boroda?
Maybe they based their statistic on the prize of one Big Mac?
Big Mac is about 40 rubles here. $1=29rubles.
This rating is based on hotel prices and other things that foreigners visiting Moscow are supposed to spend money on.
My daily spendings are around 100 rubles, including cigarettes and beer. If I was not too lazy to go buy food in the marketplace - I could save even more.
White bread: 9-10 rubles.
Potatoes: 5-10 rubles/kg
Meat: 80-200 rubles/kg
Cigarettes: I smoke "XXI century" biofilter, it's 13 rubles/pack. (Cheapest stuff from Soviet times starts at 3 rubles/pack.)
Beer: local brew is 12-20 rubles/0.5L
Vodka: 60-100 rubles/0.5L
Petrol: 12-15 rubles/litre
Underground ticket: 10 rubles.
Monthly rent for my 3-roomed flat (57 square meters) is 950 rubles. It includes central heating, cold and hot water, trash removal etc.
Who needs anything else?
