Food was cheaper, I barely used the phone (we had a cell-phone that was provided by the landlord for everyone in the house and it had a card, when the card expired, we could still receive call, I bought phone cards from time to time in case I needed to call friends or family.

A cost-saving tip is to stick with the Italians. They know instinctively where one gets ripped off and they are only to happy to point out the traps that await foreigners.
