How much do people spend on groceries in Malta ?

The cost of living in Malta is going up. In todays video i made interview with local and foreign people asking them how much they spend on groceries per month in Malta. I was surprised to hear that some foreign people spend around €50 per month and other €1200 per month. Clearly the cost of living in Malta is going up. If you want to save money on your groceries, you can shop online in Malta using: www.cheaptroll...

There is something so special about the Maltese people. They are so joyous, smiling, joking around and have such a sense of humour 🎉they are so amazing.

[@AlexMisarins]

For the family of 3 (myself, wife and a cat) we spend around €500 (no alcohol and no tobacco), but we are focused on top quality organic food without compromises.

[@oguzhancetin_mech]

same setup, I spend at least 700. all from pavi. water, groceries, detergants, everything included. nothing luxury. I cant believe how people spend only 30-50 euros/month. everyweek I spend around 20 euro just for cheese. even for 60/month, it equals 2euro/day, what can you eat for 2 euros for breakfast, lunch and dinner??

[@Crazydragonman]

Great video Alex, I think most live together as a family so 45 x 3 or more people in one house hold. Strong economy 🤣

[@AlexinMalta]

So true! It was really interesting for me to do this video and get the feedback

[@cristinaantoniu9529]

Such a debatable subject honestly, it does reflect indeed not only levels of earnings but cultural, household and personal status differences, lifestyle and habits. A lot of people would have time to cook but find the easy escape in Bolt and Wolt, a lot would not have this option because of financial circumstances or purely enjoying a more traditional approach to life.. However I just can't comprehend the under 100 euro per month budget mentioned by a few, unless you only boil rice and pasta and don't buy essentials like milk, bread and water.

100-150 /monthly I spent as a Filipino immigrant here in malta. That's include, meat,veg,rice,seafoods,water,detergent,some chips and snacks etc.. It's actually depends where you buy stuff or the location where u live. U have to be smart where to buy depends on your preference.

[@AlexinMalta]

Thank you for this comment!

[@oguzhancetin_mech]

where do you buy your groceries?

[@MarisOzolins-ho4nj]

Sorry sweetheart, food prices doesn’t matter of your location in Malta. It’s the smallest country in the world. In the other hand I am well educated and smart individual, where are these cheap locations for food? Can you be more specific. Like I did mention before Wife and I have two teenagers and we spend €1200…€1500 a month. So if you divide by 4 it’s€375 per person. And we buy the cheapest stuff at Lidl. 100 bucks a month for food for one person, give me a break

[@oguzhancetin_mech]

@@MarisOzolins-ho4nj almost the same expenses. Around 350euro per person/ month

[@MarisOzolins-ho4nj]

@@oguzhancetin_mech there ya go, thanks for the feedback. So I am not the only one who spends a lot more than €40 a month for groceries. €40 a month is laughable… These 3rd world country individuals don’t understand a single word in English and that is a fact. That’s why they don’t understand what they talking about. I think these Philippines meant €40 a day

[@marcellef8302]

Thank you for the fun video, Alex. Could you do a tour of homes and flats with prices, please? Ciao

[@VickiChadwick]

Great & interesting video Alex. Not sure how people manage to live on less than €100 per month. There is two of us in the UK & we spend excluding eating out, equivalent to €450 per month. Plus eating out & drinking on top of that. We eat out at least twice a week, sometimes more ..😘🤣❤️

[@joycarino4767]

Maybe they are live-in workers, which is why they said they spent 30 to 45 euros per month. Thus, they only buy food on weekends when they have time off.

[@mariaaquilina4436]

Realistic amount from a local: 100 euro from large supermarkers + 20-25 for fruit and veg from farmers markets/vans PER WEEK for 2-3 people. Sometimes more 😮

I live alone with two small dogs, I spend about 250-300 eur monthly on groceries. I shop in different places to save money as some shops are more worth it for specific stuff. Fresh fish and expensive steaks are a treat, once or maybe twice a month I would treat myself.

For someone watching from Australia....the cost of groceries in Malta is very cheap. 300 Euros in AUD is about $450-$500. One weekly shop for a family of 4 in Australua is roughly $200-$400 (120-240 Euros). Works out to be approximately 900-1000 Euros per month. Maybe we should move to Malta😅

[@libatalklieb5793]

[@luna_9400]

I would say for those who plans to move and takes this video as an example: 30 eur per week is extreme, guys 🫣 I spend roughly 500 per month for just myself. Sometimes cooking, sometimes ordering, sometimes eating out, coffee to go etc. Could have been less without delivery and eating out. But if you think about comfortable living, it starts from 100 per week for sure.🥲

[@ajanfamily7261]

Alex, I hope you are well. I just saw the video and I was shocked. May I know how you can spend the month with 50 euros of groceries in Malta? I am sure that even in India and Nepal it's not enough money for 1 month groceries. In my opinion, there are two things. First, either they don't wash every day because only 50 euro is needed for shampoo and detergent.Second, they consume food once a day and their food is only boiled rice because there is no other way. .I lived in Malta for 6 years and 7 months ago I decided to leave finally and moved with my family to Germany. You should know that Germany is many times cheaper than Malta for everything. I speak from my experience In Malta, 3 people (couple+1 child 7 years old). Total groceries (food+fruit+vegetables+detergent+personal hygiene+meat+fish in the first year around 400-450 euros, while in the following years the prices increased drastically 700-800 euros per month. I don't want to offend anyone, but when you watch this video and those answers with 30-40 or 50 euros show the quality of life they make and the quality of the country that like Malta has been turned into a rat hole. That's all I had and I wish you further success.
