Vegetables are among the few things here that are cheaper than in Sweden, BUT only in season. Off-season the price is shocking or else it is impossible to get. Unlike Sweden where we can buy most vegetables and fruit all year round and the prices don't vary too much inspite of season.
Meat, fish, dairy products and bread are all more expensive here than in Sweden.
A few exmples of how much stuff costs:
Milk 1 litre: 6-8 NIS = 12-16 SEK = 1-1,5 EURO
1 loaf of bread: 15 NIS = 30 SEK = 2,9 EURO
5 pita bread: 4 NIS = 8 SEK = 0,8 EURO
12 eggs: 16 NIS = 32 SEK = 3 EURO
12 eggs organic (Sv. ekologiska): 22 NIS = 42 SEK = 4,2 EURO
Lemons per kilo: 4 NIS = 8 SEK = 0,8 EURO
Lemons per kilo: OFF SEASON 26 NIS = 52 SEK = 5 EURO
Tomatos per kilo: 2-4 NIS = 4-8 SEK = 0,4-0,8 EURO

I never eat crackers, but I like the idea of buying crackers by weight.
You have H&M - we have the market.

How wonderful! The market, I mean. The prices - not so wonderful :) Miss you! Happy Birthday again! Hope to catch you on Skype soon!
Lovely colours in this market. A bit surprising fruits are so expensive, what with being a big agricultural exporter.
I'd buy you some of those crackers for you if I was there; as punishment for now I'm craving so much for some TUCs (you know those french crackers?) because of that picture.
Maybe I'd even buy you a nut or two. It's that bad.
Miss you. >(^^)<
You're back!
Love that market roof.
Yep I am back.
I don't know how they do it, everything seems more expensive in this country but they all earn much less than in Sweden.
Anyway, have a very interesting post to post but have a question, maybe emm knows...
Whats the deal with "borrowing" pictures from the web and using on the blog?
And also, I have heard somewhere that I can not publish a photo of someone without their permission, true?

well, depends on the licensing of the image in question. There are many licenses. Some are free, some are "non-free", and depending on where you are, or more specifically where the image license is, "fair use" may well apply. Sometimes it all depends on the purpose of re-displaying the image.
Sometimes it's okay to re-display and cite the reference, othertimes not.
