last time i was in the philippines (2022) grocery prices in denmark was relatively cheaper (except for beef) than in the philippines. so i'm not surprised that prices have gone up. and i think it's crazy especially when comparing prices with a country known for having high cost of living 😢

[@chefkuyajoey]

Thank you for your input! Yes, some things can get very costly indeed! Key is to find a good balance I guess 😊

Depende siguro sa lifestyle ng tao. For example kami, inalis na namin sa diet LAHAT ng may added sugar at lahat ng processed foods and drinks. Kaya ung $150 per week ay sobra sobra pa.

[@chefkuyajoey]

Maraming salamat po! I think that could have positive effects on both health and expenses 😊

[@GrayYeonMath]

Well, it depends where exactly in the Philippines

[@chefkuyajoey]

Thank you! Does it mean that each province has different prices?

@@chefkuyajoey cost of living is generally cheaper outside the big cities, especially with housing and most grocery items

It’s gonna be very long if I explain it in here, but to give you an idea. Let’s consider and compare the salary or wages per hour daily in PH vs NL in PH the minimum salary is 500-600 or €10 for 8hrs of work daily. So you see it’s very small that’s why most Filipino’s wants to work abroad.

[@chefkuyajoey]

Salamat po! Yes, for sure salaries are much lower in the Philippines so if certain costs are the same then in reality it must be much higher for Filipino’s living in the Philippines because of the ratio to their income. Thank you for sharing! I hope to learn more about it over time…

If you bring a car here in the Philippines from Netherlands I think tax is the same for how much the car you bought it's same you will pay for it's tax
