Abstract:I've noticed several big price differences between European and American products. Here are some of the biggest examples.
There are several items in Europe that are much cheaper than they are in the United States.
I'm an American who's been living and traveling through Europe since January 2017, and I've noticed several big price differences between European and American products.
Groceries, housing, and even Uber rides are cheaper in Europe, as well as several other things.
.I've been living abroad since January 2017, and my friends back in the United States constantly ask how I can afford it.
Simple: It's cheaper to live abroad than in the US if you're doing things right.
As a digital nomad who works as a remote journalist throughout Europe, I tend to change countries every one to three months. I'll be living near the aqua blue Adriatic Sea in Dubrovnik, Croatia, one moment and riding picturesque Lisbon trams to my coworking space the next.
Not everything is cheaper overseas, of course. I've had to pay $8 for a travel-sized bottle of hand sanitizer in Switzerland versus the $0.99 I could have paid at Target, and doing a load of laundry in Madrid costs $7 (and $7 more to dry).
But the fact remains that several products are much cheaper in Europe than their equivalent in America.
Here are nine items I've personally found to be less expensive abroad than in the US.
