Someone (one of my friends maybe) told me that prices in NZ is much higher then for example in the USA.
Possibly that my friend did not know about possible shortcuts ("pricecuts") :)
So, I was walking down the streets of Wellington and found very interesting market on Willis/Vivian crossing. Such prices just amazed me: some goods (oranges, other fruits and vegetables) were 3 times cheaper then in supermarkets. For instance: a kilo of oranges had a price of $0.99 (it is about 57 American cents or 16 Russian rubles).
Later on Vivian street I saw "Dick Smith Electronics" where I found very attractive prices on electronic gadgets (for example: $99 for a Logitec cordless mouse + 2.1 speakers - such things have the same price in the USA and 2 times more expensive in Russia).
I think the cost if living is not high here, I'm sure, definitely.
P.S. Also it's usual to have lunch by $10 or even less (10 bucks will be a reasonable price for something for lunch in "Great India" or "JJ Murphy's"). So it's cheaper then if I take the same amount of food in Moscow or even in smaller Russian cities (like Saratov).
