It seems people like to glorify Liepaja as a cheap place to live. However there's no truth to that but quite the opposite.
On average a one bedroom apartment costs
€500 per month on average electric monthly costs are € 400 per month.Transportation via tram is €300 per month. Food at open markets averages €300
Per month but if you buy food from a regular market expect to pay € 450 per month.Expect car rental prices to average €600 per month. The downside to public transportation is it's unreliable.Overall expect to pay on average € 2,3000 per month. this doesn't include entertainment or eating out for that add another €700 per month. So basically it would cost € 3,000 monthly.

We stayed in Liepaja for 3 months as a couple so for one person it's €1,500 per month for just the basics. The prices listed here don't match the actual cost of living by far.
