live in Mashhad. After reading this page, I needed to point out some points: 1. The cost of living for one person in Mashhad without renting a house is less than $350. 2. The cost of living for a family of four with a house permit is less than $1,000 (depending on the conditions). 3. Alcoholic beverages are not sold in Mashhad stores, so calculating the price of this type of beverage in Mashhad is wrong. 4. The price of milk is lower, so four 800g packets of milk cost one dollar. 5. There is no McDonald's in Mashhad (McDonald's does not have a branch in Iran).
