About と同じくらい
As a combination of the case marking particle と, the noun 同じ 'the same', and the adverbial particle くらい. と同じくらい is an expression used to highlight that something is 'about the same as (A)'.
To use と同じくらい, attach it to the end of a noun that you want to highlight as being the prime example, with whatever is comparable to it coming later in the sentence, or directly attached through the case marking particle の.
If you want to express that an action is being performed in 'almost the same way' as (A), に may replace の, after くらい.
