But it can buy other things :) Something everyone told me before moving was how expensive California was in every aspect. In case you're interested, here are a few things I've spent money on in the past couple weeks if you'd care to compare.
Movie ticket to Harry Potter: $12.50
One gallon of gas: $3.79
Skinny grande iced carmel latte w/ a smidge of hazelnut: $3.55 (one point away from a gold card!)
Gala apples: $1.79 lb
Sara Lee 100% whole wheat bread: $4.29
Toll Road: $2.75 (although unlike Chicago they actually keep the roads up here!)
Typically renting a place by myself would cost around $1100. I found myself a much better deal ;)
A full day at the beach: $6 for parking
Pageant of the Masters (I'll write about this fantastic event in a later post!) A deal at $15 (wowzers!)
Pinkberry: $4.25
Season pass to Disneyland: $30/month (this hasn't been purchased but it is being contemplated!)
More or less I can fill my day with lots of fun things to do for minimal cost. This is called getting creative. When it is a constant 75 degrees outside with a light breeze and sunny, you can make anything work!

Nothing sounds that much out of line to me. Even gas is about the same. If you get down by San Diego prices must go up! I'm enjoying your blog.
