Switzerland is expensive

In case there was any doubt that Switzerland is an expensive place to live, get this. Today I spent 24.80 CHF on solution for my contact lenses! I was shocked. That's about 3x as much as I would pay at home for the exact same thing. This was the first time I had to buy it here because I was sure to stock up before moving here so I could include several bottles of it in our shipment along with my other favorite products that you can't find here or that are just too expensive to buy on a regular basis (eg. Crest toothpaste and Dial soap). Now I know what I'll be buying on my next trip back to the States...
