The cost of living in Bulgaria is substantially lower than in other countries and amongst the lowest world-wide.
In particular eating and drinking is very inexpensive with a meal costing an average of EUR 5-7, a bottle of beer for less than EUR1 and a good Bulgarian wine costing around EUR 5 a bottle. A meal for 4 in Nessebur (next to Sunny Beach) cost EUR 35 in August 2003 and that included two bottles of wine!
Petrol prices are about what they are in Ireland, perhaps a little cheaper.
Most other products, foodstuffs and services are substantially cheaper in Bulgaria.
