According to "the Big Mac Index" Switzerland is actually ranked number one when it comes to average salaries (purchasing power) vs. price of a Big Mac (consumer prices), see: https://www.statista.com/statistics/274326/big-mac-index-global-prices-for-a-big-mac/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/274326/big-mac-index-glo... Regarding groceries: You should go shopping to Aldi-Suise and Lidl-Suisse. They have the same veggies and fruits and they cost half of what you have to pay at Migros!

It is difficult to find those in the city without a car. In Lausanne, you might have to go out to Renens, for examples. Ironically, I was able to save a lot of money working in Switzerland (more than half my post-doc salary) because everything was just too expensive to buy :). No regrets!
