[@paratomcat]

Steve you can't imagine how comforting your voice is to us that admire you and your way of life. I'll be back in Mallorca some day again and plan to meet you. CHEERS.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Hope to se you in Mallorca

Good shopping excursion guys. Sunflower oil very cheap. Here in Poole about £2.00 so about €2.20 over there. The comparisons I suppose are based on what needs to be imported, the import taxes and deals the supplier has with the distributor, especially the major brands. In general I would say your trolley is far more healthy on the wallet. I guess from where I am down on the coast about 15% cheaper. Again some items more expensive there and some cheaper..at least the wine is always a great deal🍷

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Olive oil has jumped in price here due to the droughts on the mainland.

[@jackiecarlin9725]

Loved this video and what a super market that was amazing how big, I’d would be all day wondering around 🥰 x

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

We only walked around part of it!

Hi Steve & Anita, you might know this already but as we live in france always fascinated how many french chains are in spain. Auchan a french company, & Al Campo in spanish means the same thing. Auchan created as a play on pronunciation over here 'au champ' is pronounced auchan hence the name of the shop. Meaning: In the field / countryside. Just a bit of useless info for you 😅 ttfn. Kes &Ant in france. Happy shopping x

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

We came across the Auchan supermarkets in Italy.

[@melwhite6151]

Nice walk round Al Campo - must say it has grown since we used to frequent it! Cost of living does seem to be a bit more expensive over there!

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Used to be much cheaper.

[@tunnel7]

Well I always wondered where the big Supermarkets were located WOW that's HUGE cheers S&A.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

This is a really big one.

[@hazelwade-oq2zc]

I remember the staff used to get around the store on roller blades it is that big!

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

That's the one.

[@tommymoffat5633]

I do like a wander round that alcampo Steve. But I like Learoy Merlin even more

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Me too.

[@dianeleahy3345]

Fabulous supermarket. Great fish counter. I do know if I shopped in that particular supermarket I would probably spend a lot of money because of the choice and that’s what it’s all about. Thanks Steve and Anita.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Alcampo is one of the biggest on the island.

[@Hotelechomike]

Cauliflower with a cheese sauce is to be recommended!

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Sounds good to me.

[@lou7878]

Really shocked about the Olive oil prices 😮 crazy. Everywhere is getting very expensive and after some research the U.K. is paying nearly half of our American friends. Great video 👍🏻

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Thank you.

[@Eduardo-vd8kk]

Buen paseo y compras. Cuando podía conducir íbamos con frecuencia a Alcampo. Saludos para los dos.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Gracias Eduardo

I’m in Newcastle upon Tyne at the moment visiting family. But my home is down in the Algarve Southern Portugal, I’m finding prices are going up…

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

It seems to be the same everywhere.

[@susanowen3714]

Why don’t you ever buy Fresh fish?

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

We never have, and don't often eat fish at home. We will have fish in a restaurant and occasionally buy frozen fish to make a fish pie.

[@jackieblakemore56]

I know!!! I’d never be out of the fresh fish place!!! lol xx

[@margaretfrost9065]

Thanks for the video Steve. It must be difficult for the expats on a British pension as lots of things more expensive over there. How does it compare to the likes of Lidl and Aldi? You certainly need the cafeteria after a shop there.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

We will have to do a similar walk around Lidl and Aldi.

[@faithg9766]

My goodness, that place is huge. Prices are going up everywhere.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

It is one of the biggest on the island.

[@artvanhulst8741]

What an enormous supermarket, it's more a 'mega'market. Never seen something that big over here in Holland.......

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

It is probably the biggest one on the island, but Carrefour near to the airport is pretty big.

[@TravelonlineWalk]

We plan go to Sa coma in sommer

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Hope you have a great time.

[@domenicoinfortuna3362]

Nice video😊

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Thank you

[@GlynisJack]

I am very surprised Steve that you like instant coffee instead of proper coffee.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

We have both, but I guess I have carried on the habit from work, where I used instant coffee everyday.

[@Hotelechomike]

@@SteveandAnitainMallorca 90g instead of 100g - probably for the same price - this happens where we live - its called "Shrinkflation" - pretty much an underhand trick.

[@mattscfc849]

Self service checkouts are the worst, it’s not only taking away someone’s job, but it also means you don’t interact with an employee. Let alone making a company and its directors even richer by saving on paying people a wage.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

I must say, we try to avoid them.

[@chrisfinch2807]

Almost every thing gone up

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Absoltely.

[@tonyhill1448]

Had to turn it off couldn't stand the clicking of the trolley

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Sorry to hear that. You could turn the volume off and put the subtitles on if you are interested in the content.

[@chrisbrader7720]

10€ for a 1l of oil!!Jesus H Christ!!!!Get over to Thailand👍

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

How much is a litre of extra virgen olive oil over there?
