Germany, along with the rest of mainland Europe is simply cheaper than Ireland. For example, I went out more in Augsburg than I would at home and still spent less.

Personal comments
If at all possible, try to get a job teaching; the wages are very high and the tax low. Find out where the xheaper supermarkets are - there is actually a large difference in what they will charge. Rail travel is very expensive, so if you are going to do a lot of travel it is worth investing in a BahnKarte.

I don't travel very much in Canada; however in Germany, I travelled every weekend. This ended costing me more than I thought it would. It was all worth it!
Fruits and vegetables were most expensive than at home, but, then again, they tasted better and were always fresh! :)

None at all. Expect to spend about 1000DM per month....now, I don't know how the prices have changed since the Euro.

Food was great because it was slightly cheaper than Ireland but to eat out was sometimes expensive enough, my telephone did cost a fortune because I was trying my best to stay in touch with friends from home. I also did quite a bit of travelling around Germany so that was quite pricy and also the cost of flights to Ireland at Christmas and holidays.

It is vital to save as much as you can before doing Erasmus as it was definitely my most expensive university year so far
