Sorry, somehow I missed this thread and thought we were still on clothes. Sorry!
Bread is around $3 - $5 depending on type; I buy decent sourdough wholemeal or rye; I'm sure the supermarket sliced stuff if a lot cheaper. Rent is around $200 a week for a room in a shared house (as I know from my ex-boarder) and I think about $500 for a house? I'm guessing that one.
Asthma inhalers are on prescription only and cost $5 per item (like most prescribed drugs; a few are expensive) till you've gone over a certain limit in the year, then all are free. We do have a good health system compared to the US, even if it's nowhere near as good as the UK's or Australia's.
