Hi. It's good to see that you feel good here!! Yes, Hungary is quite expensive, but it's safe and mostly inhabited by good people. I'm glad you're here!! Be very, very happy with us!!!!!
I've read Hungary is one of the cheapest countries in Europe. Ofc, if you run errands in the centre of Budapest, it'll probably be more expensive. And it's not always the case. I live in Italy, and I lived in Romania for 3 months very recently and I found it super cheap (even when some people told me it wasn't cheap). I was in Greece before that, and at least Athens is more expensive than all of the cities I've lived in Romania; the 3 main cities, btw. And I've heard Hungary is even cheaper than Romania, so... anyhow, I'm a polyglot and learning Hungarian atm. I find it SUPER fascinating. Btw, if there's anyone willing to do language exchange with me, please answer to this msg. PS. I mean it, I need to practice. English, Spanish, Portuguese and even some Italian in return. Hugs!!!
It's not the cheapest. People near the borders going across the border to shop. Austria is definitely cheaper. And rest of Europe, UK is cheaper. Ireland and Scotland is super cheap compared to Hungary. And this above, is the cheapest supermarket in Hungary. Consequently the lowest quality too. Not that any of the supermarkets would offer healthy food, so you don't really have a choice, even if you have money, you only get rubbish. Drinks made of artificial sweetener and colourings. Margarine and margarine filled pastries, gmo veg&fruit, super mixed and low quality meat products and very limited choice of meat. Milk lacking dairy. Every milk product is vegetable oil based. There is no 100% fruit juice. The best available is from concentrate. Actually we can go through every industry: clothes, chemicals, technology...everything is very low quality and 2-3 times the price of western Europe. I was sewing a button the other day and the new needle snapped in half in my hand. The same shsmpoo I used to use in UK, is 2x the cost and half the bottle size. The foreign good quality washing powders, liquids that they sell here, are lower quality than in western Europe and just as expensive or more. So I can't afford to buy the same stuff in HUN as I used to in UK. The new window that was changed, already crumbling away and the insulated glass in it has given in, after a couple of years already. While the second hand from Germany is still perfect. My neighbours renovating, they bring everything from Romania. All the building materials there are much cheaper and good quality. Worth travelling there for it, even with the petrol price, thats the highest in Hungary. So. Hopefully you are well funded if you visit us. Oh and healthcare is almost non existent unless you go private and pay above your insurance.
@@Shaara1 That's a bit weird. Guess I should see it for myself. I've just found this: - In Austria, the average gross annual salary for full-time employees is €57,731. This translates to a monthly average of about €4,811. The median monthly salary is around €2,182. - In 2024, the average gross monthly salary in Hungary is 605,400 forints (approximately €1,564). After taxes, the average net salary is 417,100 forints (around €1,076). Also: - The cost of living in Scotland and England is approximately 48.6% higher than in Hungary (without rent) and 70.8% higher including rent. - The cost of living in Ireland is about 35.8% higher than in Hungary (without rent) and 48.2% higher including rent. How come? (all current information)
@@Nepente333 I don't care about statistics. As long as the goverment regroups figures to make them look better, no point to rely on it. My salary, as a teacher, is 404 000ft, including 60 000 missionary grant, this means I get 268000ft. That's €670/ month. When I get another degree, in January, I get 30% raise. In march we got a general raise, all teachers. Before that my salary was €442/month. I live in the countryside, and it's possible that in the capital and in corporate area there are high salaries, but not for the rest of the country. Here salaries are between €175- 800/ month. It doesn't make us feel better that some ceos get extreme high wage. It doesn't increase the national average.
Haha, yep Hungary has the highest sales tax in the EU at 27%. Thats why food (and most things) are more expensive here than even in wester european countries. 20% yearly inflation doesnt help either
The inflation is crazyyy. Sometimes, I'm forced to buy more than I need at a time because I'm worried the prices may have gone up by the time I want to buy that item again.
Cute :D More cooking vlogs? You gotta pay attention to the supermarket leaflet and buy stuff in a bulk when they go on discount. You can save about 30% on most products.
You are such a lovely and funny girl. You are so right about rising inflation, probably its the highest in the whole EU. Anyway hope you ve been doing well and having fun as well. 😊
hey i have a question! does all supermarkets have the same prices even in different cities? like if you bought the same things from the same supermarket in Budapest would be the same cost 6k ft?
Hungary has captured my interest in both the culture and safety. I work at a golf course here and have the idea of applying for the same job in Hungary. That if I'm most excited about learning the language and becoming part of the community.@@kirasway

You gotta pay attention to the supermarket leaflet and buy stuff in a bulk when they go on discount. You can save about 30% on most products.
most items that usually go on discount are fruits , bread, and meats which go bad easily. Buying these in bulk may not be very ideal :(
@@kirasway I put bread and meat in the freezer, they are good for months there.
Oh really? That's a great tip! Definitely trying it 😀
My comment about Lidl disappeared. lol RUclips censorship? I wrote that Lidl is the best and they generally discount everything at least once a month.
@Dbenji29 that's weird. Probably YT censorship. Thank you for this though. I'm picking up some gems from the comments 🤗
I would like to know how's the Job Situation in Budapest?

Is there job opportunities for students in Hungary
it's possible to find some jobs, although most of them require you to know Hungarian language
hey i have a question!
does all supermarkets have the same prices even in different cities?
like if you bought the same things from the same supermarket in Budapest would be the same cost 6k ft?
Yes,it will be around the same price
Since covid the prices really went up sadly and the goverment is not doing anything about it.
Yes, that's just sad 😔
Very nice videos you made. Would like to know more about Hungary and Budapest as I am thinking of moving there as soon as possible.
Thank you! Are you moving for studies?
Hungary has captured my interest in both the culture and safety. I work at a golf course here and have the idea of applying for the same job in Hungary. That if I'm most excited about learning the language and becoming part of the community.@@kirasway
