Your Food Shopping Bill In Spain

By Abel Satiku


Many people have the intention of leading a more simple life, even along the Costas of Spain. Whether retiring or immigrating you may not have the funds to lead a millionaire's lifestyle in Marbella Spain. On the contrary, the reality is because of a lack of information and planning.

Planning your budget for a new life in Spain should take place before you have even left England. Be imaginative and plan for the worst case scenario. One night in to bear in mind is to rent property before you buy. Take a couple of years and rent in numerous coalitions. That way you learn where you'll be happiest living. The average settling in time for relocation in Spain is about six months.

New comers to Spain sometimes spend more money that they had thought they would. You tend to feel that you're on vacation. If you allow this you'll see bank balance shrink. When shopping be careful of the locale. Tourist's flea markets and other shopping outdoor venues cab be expensive. It's a good idea to learn to shop to we Spaniards do. Most Spaniards have a healthy way of eating. For example, make sure that produce is labeled for origin and priced. When you see that you're going to pay 9.00 for a kilo of strawberries begin asking questions.

The system of weights and measures is different in Spain (metric) from that of Great Britain (Sterling units). Become familiar with metric as it is the only system used in Spain! Unlike England or the United States where a bargain is often a bargain, a cheap product sold in Spain is usually poor quality. Your familiar overseas stores such as Tesco or Primark might have good quality and reasonable or even bargain prices. A t-shirt at Primark might be a good price but in Spain the cheap t-shirt may not last a couple washes.

Keep an eye on your food shopping bill in Spain. There are supermarkets that stock International and English brands, usually at high prices. Adapt your eating habits to your surroundings and save a lot. You don't need to buy expensive imported breads; there are Spanish equivalents at Mercadona where you'll find great value and quality. Budgeting is an essential art. You find that you can eat healthily without being tempted by the array of ready meals at the import stores.

Settling into your new life in Spain means living as a Spaniard does. Budgeting among the merchants is a learned art. If you're living on the Costa stay clear of the touristy areas for most shopping and when eating out. When funds allow make it a treat, and drive the half hour inland where you'll find "Ventas" that offer delicious and healthy Spanish style cooking.
