Petrol is relatively (compared to most countries in Europe) cheap in Switzerland.
Chocolate is cheap in Switzerland if you don't buy the "international" brands but rather the store-owned brands.
Beer is surprisingly cheap when bought in stores (again, not the brand-ones)
Public transport is cheap - especially when not buying full-price but holding a 1/2-fare ticket like almost everyone in Switzerland (who doesn't have a GA anyway..)
In some of the Coop stores you can get 0.5l of beer for under 1 SF (in general Migros doesn't sell alcohol).
You have to factor in the price of the half-fare card, so the price for the first several trips is not so cheap.
At the duty free shops in ZRH airport, the price for (say) Remy Martin XO, is almost double what I pay in a normal liquor store in NYC.
