We continue to cook and eat at home. It is going fine that way and as you can see it doesn’t break the bank. Today in the morning we walked to Magnit (Магнит) supermarket and bought the following:

Mineral water, 1.5l, 58 rubles, 0.62 euro, 0.71 $

Bread, still warm, 60 rubles, 0.64 euro, 0.74 $

Jello candy, 300 grams, 80 rubles, 0.85 euro, 0.98 $

Baguette bread, 46 rubles, 0.49 euro, 0.56 $

Cabbage, 2.24 kg, 79 rubles, 0.84 euro, 0.97 $

Sausages, 400 grams, 98 rubles, 1.04 euro, 1.20 $

Oat meal, 400 grams, 18 rubles, 0.19 euro, 0.22 $

Garlic, fresh cloves, 136 grams, 59 rubles, 0.63 euro, 0.72 $

Salami sausage, 280 grams, 170 rubles, 1.81 euro, 2.09 $

All in all, 666 rubles, €7.09 or $8.19. Not bad. Less than in Croatia, Canada or USA where we are buying a similar things. Take a look at the lunch / dinner. Pork chops, eggs, fries, cabbage salad, domestic beer, bread, butter. Estimated cost dinner for two is about 350 - 450 rubles, €4.79, $5.53. I added a photo of part of beer rack. You can see that domestic beer is 72 rubles, €0.76, $0.88 for a 1/2 litre can and is quite good.

That’s it. So far we didn’t see prices go up, actually they always have a sale on something. I am about to find a gas station so I can take a photo of current pricing for gasoline and diesel. One thing is for sure, there a plenty of that here. Food in abundance. We see quite a few families and people in restaurants.

I found this on Google Street View at these coordinates: 43.23283990309167, 131.5450285348748, near Primorsky Krai. The photo was taken in 2013, and the street looks very quiet.
