  • Cost Living / Inflation

    On holiday same place every year x 2 can’t think how tough it must be for the folk locally prices on everything off the wall and they don't get the same support as we do.or buying power . Strangely struggling for staff ? Or perhaps can't afford to pay for extra staff .

    I'd say it's cheaper to drink and wat in UK .

    Supermarkets like Lidl /Aldi prices way higher than ours except for wine .

                  Usual bullshit from the Btec Nigel Farage

                  Ive just come back from Majorca - the posh part too ie Portals Nous - and you can buy cans of 33cl lager - all the top brands - for 65-85 euro cents. Cheaper than you can buy a can of coke.

                  Large Bocadillos from the supermarkets with chorizo or serrano ham, cheese, tomato - 2 euros (about £1.80) You can get a cornbeef slice from Greggs for that price. You go to any of these small supermarkets that do fresh baguettes and you are paying double that.

                    Same in the canaries. Some sort of local beer which wasn't all that bad 50 cents. Heineken/Estrella about 70-80. Cartons of wine for 2 euros, and no they weren't that bad!

                        Btec Farage I haven't long come back from Majorca Sa Coma (The poor side ) and i echo your sentiments. The Aldi there (Cala Millor) was as cheap or cheaper than in the UK (And we're in a resort) The Spar shops are a ****ing gold mine over there, nice coffee, cheap booze, and lighters with naked women on them. All reasonably priced. LOM is a lickspittle Tory arsehole.

                            I am guilty of going to resorts that can be pricey , and not drinking canned beer, like to eating out just struck how much the prices were post Covid .

                            A decent Tapas meal with a wine , water for 3 your looking at paying between 54 to 60 euros.

                            Beer is on average is , 4. 4.50 euros .

                            Yed the tired local bars tucked around the corners are cheaper at 3.50 euros a pint , run by a single person.

                            Supermarket goods I was refering too was your washing stuff and coffee , they are a good 30 to 40p dearer sometimes more.
