From the point of view of a visiting cat, Bratsk is moderately expensive overall; prices are higher compared to major cities in Russia, but lower than most European cities. Shopping options are limited but fair for a small city with supermarkets and markets available.

Check out local markets for great deals on fresh produce and souvenirs. Avoid buying imported products as they tend to be more expensive.

Cat did enjoy fish from nearby Angara River though. Meowvalous.
