For those that are curious, here are the prices of various things at the grocery store. Keep in mind that because of the lovely exchange rate, the dollars and CHFs are essentially equal.
200 ml bottle of shampoo/conditioner (6.8 oz) = CHF 5.20
milk = CHF 1.75/liter, or 7 CHF/gallon
chicken breast = CHF 8.30 for 244 grams, or 15 CHF/lb.
That's right. Don't think about it. We just buy the food and eat it.
Also, rather than paying a fee for waste disposal, you pay for special garbage bags. They are about CHF 2 for a 35 L bag, which is about 70% the size of a US "tall kitchen bag". Teaches you to squeeze your trash really really flat.
On a fun note, ZDG was in his office this morning and heard kids' voices way down below. He looked down and saw LGG and her kindergarten class passing by on their way to the woods, looking for Easter Eggs. Good thing we dressed her warmly this morning.
