http://egyptsearch.blogspot.com/2007/05/cost-of-living-in-egypt.html

here is some ideas I got today

-to save some money you should not rent Heliopolis, Zamalek , Mohandiseen , Garden City ...etc , try to rent in areas like Hadayek El Koba, Zayton, Helwan, Abbasseya or Amranya @ Giza

- Use local transportation , unless you can afford to have a car , then use one that is 1300 CC and that can work with fuel 82

-Shop for food at traditional vegetables markets and groceray shops, Other huge supermarkets sell everything with a higher price to cover their operational expenses

-Same applies to cloth shops , no need to shop at Zamalek or at City Stars, you can go to other places that can provide reasonable taste at affordable price, like Down Town shops, Genena Mall at Naser City and Roxy shops at Heliopolis
