Living in Europe: communicate your observations of the cost of living downturn We would really like to hear from friends in Europe over how much the cost of living is only for them in the mean time

We'd appreciate our audience to help us find out much more about the price of housing across Europe. 

How are people maintaining fiscally in the mean time? How well do products in your normal weekly open a store charge? How well do objects like a lunch out now and an energy price contrast to the year before? Are an any specific pieces you think have continued to rise in costs significantly? We'd always want to hear from friends living both in and out of of the EU.
