How Expensive is to Live in Malta

[@mich.cachia]

Hey Alex, as a Maltese person I enjoy watching your videos. It provides me with a different perspective on our way of life. Keep up the good work!

[@AlexinMalta]

Thank you Michael, im glad you are enjoying my videos eventough you are Maltese, i get comments like yours a lot, and i wonder what is the perspective you see ? :)

[@mich.cachia]

@@AlexinMalta The first thing that comes to mind is that you are true to your viewers. You do not sugarcoat, and say that coming to Malta is going to be easy, you will get rich etc. As in fact, coming to Malta is difficult for a third-country national. Also, you mentioned that life here is expensive compared to the average salary most Maltese and expats are earning, which is also true. I think you are doing a great service to Malta, as you are providing information through your experience to expats that are dreaming of coming to Malta. Which in the last years was too much! I agree that Malta is overpopulated and we have lost our identity. However, you are right that skilled workers are needed here, as people such as myself will not work those type of jobs.

[@AlexinMalta]

@@mich.cachia thank you Michael 🤗i really appreciate you taking time to write this comment. I am glad to see that you have really got my point of the videos and im pretty sure you noticed that even when i have to show the “negative” side i still remain respectful towards Malta. I am sending you a big friendly hug

Cost of living gone up all over the world , but your last comment was spot on Malta went up the least compared to the rest of Europe and 💯 spot on live on a budget you can afford.

[@AlexinMalta]

👍🏻🙏🏼thank you

[@taniamuzic7067]

Malta inflation went up 7.4 and in Europe 11 , But you forgot to mention that wages all over europe went up according to Inflation yet Malta stayed the same .

[@marcellef8302]

Thank you, Alex. I enjoyed this video and seeing the selection and prices in the Maltese supermarkets. BTW, I loved your "Ta-da" entrance ☺️

TADAAAAAA❤️thank you so much

[@olamundo463]

Actually a lot of things are cheaper or same as Brazil. I was expecting way more expensive. Thanks for the video!

[@johnabela932]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 🎥 🏆 👏. Those prices are quite surprisingly high, when considering Ma€ta's average wage ! 😲. Believe it or not, those prices are mostly similar to ours 🇦🇺. Like you said Alex, one has to be a "savvy shopper", yes NOW more than ever wherever 🌏 🛒 🦉. THANKS ALEX 🙏. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

Thanks John ❤️

This is the first time I have seen your channel (this is the 3rd vlog I have seen back to back). Love your personality !

[@lukakamberovic6486]

I think Safi in Lidl is the best lidl not only the prices but also there low customers unlike other lidl shops in Malta cause they have a traffic

[@AlexinMalta]

Good point. Thank you

[@vincenzocherubini2424]

As someone who came to Malta from Ireland, which i found a little more expensive than the UK, I was totally shocked (and continue to be), at the cost of living in Malta, moreso if you consider the average worker wage. Just one little example, a large pack of butter, which cost 2.75€ in Ireland, will set you back almost 8€ here. Bargains? I think not! A warning to any Brits thinking of retiring here......Hope you have a generous pension, otherwise you will struggle. Not just higher cost of food, but rents are mental, and don't get me started on property prices, makes the South of France look very cheap!

[@libatalklieb5793]

What you are saying is all true.

[@AlexinMalta]

Thanks for your comment, i have made already a dedicated video on how much are the fixed costs (rent, bills, car costs etc) 2K a month is quite decent for this island

[@enidwhiteside5378]

My daughter and late son-in-law lived in Malta for 12 years, they bought a house for cash, it was beautiful but it took them 8 years to sell, they lived on a hillside and could see the sea, they sold complete with EVERYTHING, my daughter now lives in a private semi in England and glad to be ‘home’. The grass is not always greener eh. As for Maltese properties being cold, say no more. Have a nice day ☕️

[@libatalklieb5793]

@@enidwhiteside5378 If you don't put the heater on of course it is cold. As for England i wouldn't live there if you gave me a house for free.

[@enidwhiteside5378]

Marble floors and only rugs (no fitted carpets obviously) electric heaters are pretty useless, everything smells damp. The terrible flooding in Malta and hailstones, tourists don’t see that they think it’s all sunshine and hot we’ll it’s certainly not, we holiday in Malta and Gozo but would never live there again.

[@MattitudeX]

Thank you for the info Alex! We usually shop at liddl and we find better and cheaper products there, of all sorts. Thank you again ❤

[@AlexinMalta]

[@ricbe71]

Prices in LIDL stores in Malta are very similar to those in French and European LIDL stores in general...For services, on my last visit to Malta I paid €5 for a haircut at BUGIBBA which is very cheap.

Ciao Alex, I enjoy your video. where I live, near Bari in Puglia, Italy, prices seem to be the same. I expected cheaper prizes in Malta. Ciao e alla prossima!

You should make this a series visiting big supermarkets in Malta , I’m interested in your review about welbee’s supermarket and greens supermarket swieqi

[@ferrinter7956]

I will do them as well :)

Great video Alex! I also visit Lidl in safi when im in Malta ,has the best lay out and seems a bit quieter than others, i also visit Pavi a huge supermarket with everything you need,pity they took the chinese out though loved the chicken/egg rice take away!
