    Thanks for the reminder that the best things in life are free and the designer/luxury brands really not necessary. I told my “boo” that we might not fit in with all that glitz and glamour and would regret being considered lower SES around there. However, you are right that hanging with celebrities etc is not the goal, just being in natural beauty is fantastic!❤❤

      Yes, I am sure. Since the area has many people in service to the mega rich, they also have to live somewhere! I have a modest (state) retirement due to me, but better than the average SS income (which is quite low).
      I wonder where I should look for a rental under $1200/month. Any suggestions? I am also thinking of hiring a consultant, if necessary.

    Loved this video because the advice is exactly right. You can live cheaply on the Riviera. We establish we’re all the local markets are. We shop like the locals - bouchers, bakers and fromageries. And we cook our own meals. It is always such a great adventure. We come from Canada to escape the winter cold - so off season and not many tourists. It is fabulous. ❤

    Interesting to see how your daily life is down in the south... up here in the Paris region I am with you when it comes to feeling guilty spending too much time video editing/socal media-ing. I tend to fit it in when I can, but editing can get addicitive. My aim is always to try and get something out once a week. But with two teenagers and a house to sort out, it doesn't always happen. At the weekend I teach English on Saturdays, then Monday evening. I have Tuesday evening set aside for teaching - but haven't got anyone on that day. Pre pandemic it was 1O students a week. These days somewhat less! Wednesday the kids are home, so I have to cook for them. Thursday morning its Lidl to do the weekly shopping. Us 4 are linked on Google Tasks, so that makes life easier managing food and the shopping list. In the afternoon it is lesson planning. Leaving Friday to do things I've not had time to do.
    Like Mr Boo we have some property to manage - well, ONE place... But it has been a bit drawn out. We're considering the rental route, but I wonder if Air BnB might be a good idea... That's another story!
    Bonne semaine à vous deux!

    Excellent episode, I really enjoyed watching your daily routine and how the places that are thought to be the most expensive aren't always the case.
    With good choices and knowing where to buy cheaper but quality items, you can live within a budget that isn't always so high, Lidl is one of the best places to buy things at a good price and with quality. Here in Portugal, there are many, and they are always one of the best options compared to other more expensive places.

      @@MeandMonAmi We were last there in Oct 2022, so if it was remodeled we have something to look forward to, lol. We return later this year and need to know the specific British tea you drink. We will bring you supply. Maybe we can do lunch. My hubby and I have been coming to your neck of the woods since 1983. Keep in mind in would be import to the U.S. but still British. Until they started selling it here, from 1982 until around 2000 I paid my friend in Windsor to send me Tetley tea. Tetley is all I have drunk since my first trip to UK in 1981. Seriously what is your tea preference? Is there any way to send a private message? We will stay 7 nights in your area...probably 3 nights at one hotel and 4 at another. We have stayed pretty much everywhere in the 'French Riviera' but the area feels like home. Merci as always in advance.

    As a cheap charly myself, I am a little bit disappointed, that you didn't mention the free water stations at the port and near the airport (and some other spots), where you can fill up your water bottle (with mineral water) for free. Would set you back 0.50 EUR per bottle, so really, dont miss out on this money saving initiative, especially in the summer.

    Very interesting but I was hoping you might dwell a bit more on the prices so one could compare. You did in Lidl but the prices were much the same as here, escargots excepted! Nowadays when they have French week, there's hardly anything and it's pretty expensive whereas Italian is so massive it lasts 2 weeks. The surprise was to hear that it's free to go on the beach. Where in Nice is that? Always thought it was all privatised and very expensive. The only place we ever found free was Menton and that was going back some years
