ERR News - Although Estonia is popular among Finnish tourists for its cheap alcohol, there is no reason for the northern neighbors to buy ice cream or butter here, since it costs about twice as much as back home.
While at a local Alepa grocery store in Finland a liter of Ingman vanilla ice cream costs 1.45 euros, in Estonia the same product goes for 2.87, which is almost double the sum, wrote Postimees.
More expensive ice cream brands that sell for 2.29 euros per liter in Finland can cost up to 0.80 euros more in Estonia.

The wide price difference is somewhat surprising, as unlike Estonia, the Finnish government has imposed a sweets tax, which adds an additional 75 cents per kilogram of ice cream.
Locally-produced butter is another budget-buster in Estonia, costing around 50 to 70 percent more than in Finland. While a 500-gram package of locally-produced butter goes for 2.09 euros in Finland, in Estonia a 175-gram package of equivalent quality costs between 1.15 to 1.46 euros.
