Buona serata, Adan and Fiorella! this is what I love about your channel! it's like the day in the life kind of vibe! I remember my month-long stay in Calabria, I was assolutamente sorpreso at the quality and prices of the cibo! I took 1500 euros with me and came back with 350 of it and yet I dined exquisitely every day! The biggest expenses were the rental car, tolls, and benzina! birre were only 1 ero, a tazza di Caffe un euro o meno, everything was fresh, fresh, fresh, and I couldn't get enough of the plates of seafood and pasta! I thoroughly enjoy your content, please keep up the great work that you both do :)
Hi Anthony, thanks so much! Yes car rentals are a massive drain, but what can one do? It gives us so much freedom to see things and do stuff in the spare of the moment! We agree, the quality is so good and dining out doesn't cost an arm and a leg 😀
An excellent breakdown on monthly expenses, obviously affected by being in a larger house, or having an expensive car, but the rest would be the same. I think my cost of living would go down, and quality of living would go up, which sounds pretty good to me. If you own your house outright, you could live quite well in a beautiful country with fantastic culture, food, wine and adventure close at hand.
Love your channel can't stop watching your videos.. This 2 part series really does help get the general idea on what things cost.. Do you think you can do a a video on money? I have no idea how much I would be giving when it comes to Euros and getting change. We Americans only know dollars and cents. LOL Thank you for sharing your journey with us all.. It does help for those of us who want to move to Italy.
Hi. Thank you for watching. We have done quite a few videos on cost of living which you can watch here 👇 ua-cam.com/play/PLfrlxAVaslIsqe81VO67IAlyrxkl4pWn0.html&si=hM7queOIFmbW81Bk
This was a great video. Some of the prices surprised me, they are much better than in the USA. Even the delicious looking pastry and coffee. , thank you.
Wow so glad you clarified the gas price from the previous video. I thought that was a hefty price for two people. It makes sense to use the gas tank if it's cheaper and lasts two months. You just have to make a trip to refill once in a while.
Grazie mille Fiorella & Aden per questo vlog piacevolissimo. Era molto interessante di vedere i prezzi di tutte quelle cose (tra le quelle alcuni tipiche del paese in qui vivete) e grazie ancora di aver farci una "svuota la spesa". Mi pare che i prezzi siano quasi simili di quelli che possiamo trovare altronde in Europa, e per me in Francia vicino a Parigi
@@rossinniandco I am interested in how the gas situation plays out. We have gas service but it is not turned on. Maybe we will use a gas bottle instead for our stove.
@@NancysBungalowLife Hi Nancy, I would give a gas bottle a go if you can manage to get home and replace when finished. There are many fees associated on the gas bill to the point where those fees are higher than the cost of the gas usage itself, so if you're only using gas to cook, and not heating your home like we are, bottle might be the way to go!
Hi Fiorella, thank you so much once again for your video which is e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y useful for my future planning and budgeting to move to Italy. Well done! Does Aden speak Italian?? I sometimes hear him speaking to the people but cant make out if he does or not.
@@rossinniandco ....Sounds like me, just a little but Aden's in the best place to learn quickly...also, he has you, living with the best Italian teacher!!
Can you please show the "gas bottle" that you mentioned? I think you mean a butane gas tank. This is a great tip that I'll probably do as well! I'm also considering installing a solar system. Thank you again and hugs from Texas!
Hi Violeta I'll do a video when we change back. At the moment we haven't done it. It's a propane bottle, similar to an oxygen bottle but fatter and shorter
Why was there no gas? Does this happen frequently in Italy? Your gas is double the cost for the same amount, very expensive. Groceries are less - one panini $15.00 US and box of crackers would be $3.98 US and a bottle of cheap Lambruco $7.99, we have food tax in only 13 of our states.
Your prices for veggies seem inexpensive. But the tax blows it up. Your meat and cheese are expensive including traveling car gas. Yikes. Here from Portland Maine USA.
Hi Valerie. Some things are more expensive than in Australia. I think the biggest difference for many people is being able to pay cash for a house. That's impossible in OZ
Love Italy. Besides the scenery , the quality of the food and wine so inexpensive.
I love the day in the life videos!
Loving this content!!!! Prices extremely reasonable in comparison to here in California. Italy is looking AMAZING from here ❤🎉🙏
Yeayyy 😀

What an informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Grazie mille per questo contenuto!
Love 💓 love those knives for the kitchen...
Omg! you guys are so cute planning around the sweet pastries!!!❤

OMG 😳 that pizza 🍕 looks delicious 😋
It was!
I love love Italian cheese 🧀
I understand most of Itlian because some of it is similar to Spanish language...
This was a great video. Some of the prices surprised me, they are much better than in the USA. Even the delicious looking pastry and coffee. , thank you.
Hi Donna. Yes, here is really easy to invite friends for coffee and pastries without breaking the bank! 😉
Yo me comía todo ese pan 🍞 y galletas 😂.... Bella bella familia 💕

Hi Carla, that's right, I think as long as we have a car it's a good option to consider 😉
That Pampanella looks so good!!
It was very nice. The markets are like this every 6 months so we always look forward to having eating it 😉
Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching Regina 😀

Very informative, grazie, Fiorella and Aden!

Hi Luci, he does a little and he's improving. It depends on how patient the other person is 😊

Thanks Luci, I'm learning myself, so often it's the blind leading the blind 😆
@@rossinniandco ....the blind leading the blind?? Are you not Italian?? LOL

Hiya. You’d do better for tea on Amazon getting pgtips.
Is the tax included in the posted price or is it extra?
Am loving the healthy diet…..

Hi Judi, not sure if it happens often.
I didn't know about the food tax in the US. Thanks for sharing 👍
Grazie

Wow cheap 😅 here where I live in Chicago everything is crazy priced... One coffee from Starbucks maybe 7 dollars simple coffee ☕
