Idaho is one of America’s 10 cheapest states to live in 2017

July 11, 2017 by CNBC – Scott Cohn, Special Correspondent

Idaho is Ranked #6

A 5-pound sack of this state’s most famous product will cost you just $1.40 in Boise.  The same potatoes – considerably more traveled – will cost you nearly four times that in Sarasota, Florida.  Okay, you are thinking: But I bet I can get orange juice a lot cheaper in Sarasota.  And you are wrong.  Juice prices in Idaho are roughly the same as in Florida, maybe a little lower.  Want a steak with your potatoes?  You can pick up a nice T-bone for under $10.  It would cost you one a half times that in New York City.  And a nice bottle of wine can be had in Idaho for around $5.  In some places you’ll be lucky if that buys you a fairly awful glass.

  • 2017 Cost of Living score: 45 out of 50 points
  • Most expensive area: Boise
  • Average home price: $267,833
  • T-bone steak: $9.96
