Really Cheap Cheese

Paris is insanely expensive. So expensive that, while you do your best to keep costs sort of reasonable, there comes a point (far beyond any normal definition of reasonable) when you just have to put it out of your mind, or else lose sanity altogether.

It's possible to pay $10.00 for a coffee and $8.00 for a coke if you are not careful. And even when you are very careful you'll likely pay $4.00 for a coffee. (The coke you can buy at the grocery store for $0.75)

But cheese, my beautiful friend, cheese, is not expensive. Cheese is dirt cheap, and plentiful. Cheap. Cheap.

2 euros for a round of cheese I would easily pay $9.00 for at home. Handmade artisanal cheeses at the local cheap ass institutional looking grocery store? 1.50E.

And bread to eat it with is also cheap. And oddly, oranges are also cheap.

Could be worse. Much worse.
