Why? Are you joking?? Hey, folks, we're talking about the damn UK! Although this is a big town (this is no London!), the whole country is way more expensive than many in every single aspect.
Hey, it's not just a saying... it's really crazy... You spend money even to breathe...
I spent less in Telephone just because I call home only once a week, collect call, and I don't call anybody here (I just pop in their place!).

Personal comments
GOOD: Well, as for clothes, if you don't mind being a homeless for one day, there's a wide variety of charity shops around.
BAD: The hospital is god-damn far away. You can only get there by car (or cab, if you don't have one!).
Tips
====
There's a weekly free bus to a huge supermarket (Asda). It's good to go there to buy, cause you obly have to spend two hours a week for shopping and its prices are reasonable.
You'll have to go to Cardiff several times. Just make the most of your time there, and try to get everything you need at once to avoid having to go there every now and then.

I surprised to find that Wales is almost as expensive as Denmark. I do not have any cost-saving tips.
