most bus fares are 80pence-1pound but come frequently.
one place serves irish stew and a pint of guinness for 5pounds.
look out for the chippers if your budgeting, and they don't do cod only haddock, cod is all gone apparently. also you must try some haggis, i did, it tastes like minced pudding
I like the taste of haggis. Which is strange.
Anyway, watch out about the bus back to the airport, it goes from a funny location near waverly station - it's just on the bridge off princes st. but the stop tends to move around, be warned! Ask the driver when you get into the city centre where the return bus is going from.
If you're travelling around in the city, both companies (Lothian and First) do all-day tickets for around a pound or two where you can travel on all routes belonging to them without limit. There's a lot of competition between them.
Food is cheaper (normally) on the Princes St side of the centre than the Old Town side, which is more of a tourist trap.
Glasgow is cheaper again, but that's cause it's Glasgow

you guys deseve a hell of a lot more credit then you get from the health board/ doctors etc. id double all nurses/ care assistant paychecks, because i believe the job they do is very difficult and i respect them alot for it, as it's far from glamerous work changing ppls urinary pads and ontop of that alot of the ppl have mental problems like Dementia aswell as physical problems like RA and OA/ CVA's. yes its the first time iv worked as a care assistant. OT's work is more around advice/ education/ training then care taking.Oh and where are ya working by the way? I remember when I first started working as a care assistant, the first few times when I was doing showers/nappies etc I didn't know where to look!
