Yes, New York City can be pricey, but at least they have pizza. Los Angeles is pricey all around. The cheapest thing you can buy for $1 is seven minutes of parking time. Even Reese Witherspoon looks outraged by those prices. The difference between a dollar from coast to coast makes me want to move to the midwest.
The countries coming up are pretty expensive overall, but they have some select cheap items that you could probably survive off of.
