Luxembourg City - Post Report Question and Answers
How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
Luxembourg is expensive to live in. Cost differences vary wildly from our home city of Los Angeles but on the whole we find it to be about 30% more expensive to live here. Car repairs for European make automobiles are much less expensive (yay! but not surprising I suppose) while detergent for laundry and dishwashing machines seems expensive. Ice cream is double-triple the cost. Bread is cheaper but automobile fuel is more expensive, but since we're from California, not by much frankly. Household electricity is 25% more expensive but domestic water is 40% cheaper. - Jun 2017

This is an expensive place. Luxembourg has the second-highest per capita GDP on the planet, and many prices reflect that fact. But everything is available. - Jul 2015

Luxembourg is very expensive. You can do small grocery shopping in town and then drive to Germany for your major shopping. - Sep 2011
After Moscow, I find this place a bargain. But I have lived in Europe before. If you are paid in dollars (like we are), you are always aware of the rate of exchange. But I have lived in MUCH more expensive places. Two Big Box-style grocery stores (Auchan and Cora). They have everything I need. - Sep 2010
Very expensive if purchased locally. US Military bases are located about 1 hour from Luxembourg - prices are very reasonable. - Apr 2010
