Cost of living in Romania - 2017

My apartment, totally central one bedroom in centre of Iasi 250euro/month=1130lei approx.
1-2lei per trip for a tram/bus ride
a loaf of bread is around 3-6lei
fruits and vegetables vary quite a bit depending on season and original plantation location
physiotherapists and osteopaths (are generally low quality) cost around 50-100lei per hour
electricity, gas and water vary quite a bit depending on season, and also because I pay water in the same bill as my building maintenance, which recently dramatically increased, due to a new Tennant upstairs which meant lots more people making lots more elevator trips, equally lots more energy consumption for the whole building.
but generally electricity and gas are around 30-80lei a month for me (I think!)
internet is 28lei a month.
phone is 6euro so about 30lei
I don't have a gym membership but I live on top of a very overpriced gym, connected to a hotel, probably one of the most expensive in Iasi, but surely can find cheaper.

That may be the cost for a room in a shared accommodation, but under no circumstances can someone rent an entire apartment for that price anywhere in this country.
