It's definitely cheaper to live out here than in Britain. When I see what they pay for Gas, Water, Electricity, Council Tax etc I don't know how people manage.
We pay about €50 a month electric, €50 a quarter water, Council Tax €170 a year, and about €50 a month on wood pellets from November to April.
I think food is a lot cheaper as well, but it's difficult for me to be specific because it's so long since I was in Britain.
