The cost of living . . .

The cost of living in the UK obviously differs to the cost of living in other
countries. Some items are more expensive, and you may also struggle to find
other items.

There are European shops located throughout the UK, so once you settle in to
the UK, you should ask around and find out where these are, to purchase any
specialised items you may require.

There are various supermarkets across the country, such as ASDA,

Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi, The Co-operative Food, etc...
These shops all sell groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen goods and
alcohol. Most places sell cigarettes and have Pay Points for topping up your
mobile phone, paying bills or transferring money.
Other tips . . .
The power outlets are different, so you will
need to purchase an EU to UK power
adapters. Make sure you have one before
you get here.

You should also unlock your phone before

you get to UK so that you can use any SIM
card. Unlocking your mobile phone or buying
an unlocked one in the UK is more expensive
than in Romania.

Mobile operators like Lycamobile and Lebara can offer prepaid SIM cards with
cheep International calls.

You will be using your email a lot so make sure that you also know your Security
Question(not just the password) as most email providers will need to double-check
your identity when you log in from another country.
