hi
you ask a lot of questions !
accommodation prices : it depend where you live but for a studio you never gonna find one less than $800 a month in a safe place. and a villa with pool is around 2500 a month and it can be up to 100 000 a week ! so it s difficult to give you an answer.
the bus is cheap it s $1 or max $2 if you cross the french side.
Food it depends but I think it s less expensive than in canada maybe ' cause i drink too much wine ! do not go in tourist supermarket that s my advice.
health price i can t help you cause i never go to the doctor
education is expensive when you want a good school for your kid it cost at least $400 per month
the gas is like in canada but the water and electricity are expensive on the island for a studio you can spend $150 per month easy and when you have a swimming pool it can go to 600 and even more …

Cost of health care is much less expensive that the USA. A trip to the emergency room, lots of tests and 3 days in the hospital cost about $1200. Prescription medicines are very inexpensive and a doctor visit is about $60, half that if you are a resident.
Alcohol and cigarettes are cheap!
It's the Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean! Great food for $ to $$$$$, your choice! It can be cheaper to dine out than in.
Our 1200 ft space costs about $80/month for electric with NO airco. The couple months a year we turn the airco on at night to sleep it can run up to $350. Water costs us less than $20 a month, but we are frugal with this precious commodity.
I expect we pay about $150 - $200 a month for groceries for two.
