Chris, you didn't say where "home" is, but I guess it is Aus or US.
Here are some of the prices I paid last week:
3 course meal in local resturant(with 2 lg beers): Rp25,000 (AU$4)
Large local Beer during "happy hour": Rp5,000 (AU$0.80)
Cocktails at the pool bar at hotel: Rp30,000 (AU$5)
A driver with car for 2 days (9am - 5pm) going to Ubud, Monkey Forest, Lake Batur ect: Rp300,000 (AU$50)
2 pairs of men's shoes (tailor made): Rp350,000 (AU$55) - I think I could have got them cheaper but didn't feel like hackling too much that night.
T-shirts, shirts & shorts: anywhere from Rp15,000 to Rp40,000 (AU$2.40 - AU$6.50)
Hope this helps a bit.
