I don't know how they think we're all going to survive with these prices.

Just curious, how many are you shopping for? I'm spending about $100-150 a week just for myself.

Three.

Thanks! I'm considering a move to Oregon in the next few years, so that's at least good to know that it's not drastically different from what I'm paying right now.

I split my time in three locations due to work. Prices are similar in all three places. I will say the beef I get in Oregon is a lot better than the beef in the Midwest. It’s odd.

The hardest thing to adjust to is no sales tax. So some prices are higher but no tax in the end.

Dining is more expensive in Oregon than in Chicago. Though you know the staff is paid better. So I’d rather pay more.

Not having to pump your gas is nice.
