My wife spends roughly $250 per week on shopping but lot of other things are cheaper like car insurance is only $1100 for any driver over 25 this is for a new X5 i also have a Hyundai getz which costs $300 for any driver over 25 Rates here is also cheaper than your council tax i pay $1000 fuel is also half the price you pay in the UK but the average house price here in Perth is $500,000/$600,000 but if you want to live near the beach then you could pay over $1000000.
So it is swings and roundabouts between here and the UK for costs but the weather is great they have just had there worst winter here since records began and it was nothing compared to the UK.
Hope this helps.
