Are bikes in CPT pricier than rest of SA

[TIB]

The cost of living in CT is way more expensive than up country.

 

Things like cheese. I spent some time in Natal a while ago and cheese is about 30-50% the price....

 

Cape Tonians have it rough. They earn less and have higher living costs. I often ask people who don't surf/beach or use the mountain why they live in Cape Town.

 

Personally I find the classifieds in general over priced these days. I have seen brakes, frames and other bits selling for the the same price as guys paid 4 or 5 years ago new. I call it 2015 goods at 2020 prices.

 

Maybe kaapies over value their kit because they all want to buy cheese.......

 

Ja boet, sometimes I also get cheesed of....

The first night out at a restaurant I grab the menu and off the bat thought it was the kiddies menu just looking at the prices haha.

We all want that proverbial cheese yeah hahahahha

 

Also think GP just has more 2nd supply and therefore priced at decent 2nd hand market rates

Restaurants in CT are definitely more expensive. A Hawaiian Pizza costs R120 here in jhb R95 unless you buy at one of the franchises that has branches nation wide. Even then there is slight difference because cost of ingredients is cheaper up country.

it does boggle my mind how a shop in marremsboerie can be cheaper than one down the road from omnico warehouse...

Might I recommend Forneria in Table View ... family run Italian restaurant, by real Italians, with exceptional food at great pricing ... Hawaiian Pizza will set you back R82.00 .... though I think if you order pineapple on your pizza you may get kicked out .. it is a trap to weed out the riff raff of society!

Last time I had a chat with the one guy I always see there, he told me he was bulgarian not italian hahaha, I always thought his accent was so authentic  Maybe he just works there but I've always seen him there since the first time I fell in love with their Domenique Pizza, the best in town   

[Jewbacca]

Is Table View actually Cape Town though?.....
