Wow! Thanks for this very detailed breakdown of some of the most common household expenses in Pickering. I've been looking at a home from an upcoming housing community in Pickering that you can view if you click here https://www.opushomes.com/communities/seatonville/ and this very detailed list has given me a much clearer idea about the cost of living in Pickering. I also appreciate the fact that you put a minimum and maximum price range for each item so I know how much I could expect a certain item's price to increase or decrease depending on where I'm buying it. Thanks again!
