Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage are also relatively affordable. When it comes to groceries, prices are on par with the national average, with local markets and supermarkets offering a range of prices. Eating out in Aberdeen can vary greatly, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant being quite affordable, while a three-course meal at a mid-range restaurant can be more expensive. Transportation costs in Aberdeen are reasonable, with options including buses, trains, and taxis. Owning a car can be more costly, with expenses such as petrol, insurance, and maintenance to consider. Healthcare in Scotland is publicly funded, so residents have access to free healthcare services.
