Thanks so much Carl!

[@carlprice8323]

Wine, bread, cheese and the beautiful beach

[@carlprice8323]

Very nice, you’re the best, thank you

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Aww thanks, just seen this x

[@AlVlogs1603]

Great vlog Alex it’s great to compare and contrast

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Definitely, apart from alchohol, I think it's as expensive as the UK more or less!

[@AlVlogs1603]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun especially with the ridiculous minimum pricing rule of booze in Scotland Alex

[@carolinegoode9564]

Great to see the prices, will have to bring an extra case to fill with Spanish goodies! 😂 Well presented video. 😊

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks Caroline!

[@tommymoffat5633]

Brilliant video Alex. I really enjoyed it. Super informative

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks so much Tommy! Have a fab evening!

[@TheVigilant109]

Great video Alex. Very useful information. Many thanks, John

[@1292liam]

Mercadona is awesome. Kind of akin to Waitrose. Alcampo in Marbella is the best (of the majors) Ive been to in Spain.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

We also have one Alcampo in Mallorca too! Shame it's only the one!

[@1292liam]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun As you drive down the costa del sol you see it advertised a lot/ Only one there too I think, so they just pick one, ultimate, central location

[@markpanting7447]

That's my local shop , lovely meeting you the other day

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hey Mark ! Yes it was fab to meet you ! And this is a great local shop to have !

[@Dragonflypromotions]

Excellent information. It’s certainly cheaper than here.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks guys and here I am moaning that prices have gone up. Can't wait for a stroll around Sainsburys!

[@anarother3164]

Great video. Tks a lot

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

You are welcome!

[@barbarabarlow2406]

Great video where is this supermarket? Things are definitely cheaper in Majorca than the UK.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

It's in Son Caliu, near to Palmanova.

[@SamBrown-yk8py]

Good info thanks Alex! Can you get Salad Cream in Mallorca, preferably Heinz ? Maybe they have it at Eroski?

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

They will have it somewhere, such as Nice Price or Cidon in Portals!

[@enid9911]

Great Tour. I love that there was gluten free bread.

[@Sarahsparkles83]

Loved this, whenever we go over to Spain we always pick up loads of ‘Tokkes’ chocolate bars from the supermarket because I’m obsessed with them, my favourite chocolate ever wish they would bring them to the uk 🤩

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Ohhhh, I've seen them, never tried them, but on my next trip, will give them a go!

[@Sarahsparkles83]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun we brought 20 packs of them home last time 😂 you get 3 in a pack for 1.25 😊

[@martinquinn9007]

When over in mainland spain love mercadonia

[@Matty12333]

Wow, so cheap and the sun is shining unlike the UK!

[@Ginge1164]

Love Mercadona! I love the Arroz con Leche. I also love the theme tune “Mercadona, Mercadona” 😂 100 x better than UK supermarket including Waitrose and M&S

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hahaha, that song is still in my head!

[@hvxcolors396]

In the Soller region is only an Eroski which is really getting too small. Do you know how Mercadona or Lidl can be convinced to open a shop in or around Soller?

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Good point, I will make a video about Euroski at some point!

[@jennyjohnson9012]

We always find the Mallorcan supermarkets good value compared to UK prices! Love just going in and looking around as everything seems to be so much nicer! Roll on September when we'll be back.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Having just walked around Sainsburys, I see what you mean!

[@Glyn-r]

Great shopping trip Alex..hope you enjoy your holiday 🌞 I also preferred it when prices were in pesatas . More beer for your money. 🍾

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hahaha Glyn, also if prices were in pesatas, then I really would be KZbin millionaire! 😜

[@ronaldbishop384]

Our jaws hit the table on how low those prices are compared to the U.S.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I hear that the USA is super expensive now! It used to be the place where I would love to go on holiday when I was younger to get some great deals!

[@manuelfg2902]

​@@MallorcaUnderTheSunno great deals now, im afraid US prices are crazy.

[@SouthWestSundays]

My goodness! Watching this video made me hungry! ‘Saw lots of lovely stuff there that I would love to eat right now! It has really gone up in price though. The olives seem very reasonable as do some of the toiletries you pointed out. Really good video Alex!

[@manuelfg2902]

@@SouthWestSundays yeah, mercadona has risen prices up really a lot. When i go to my mercadona nearby my town, i buy 5 or 6 stupid things and the screen shows up €19-21 !!!

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

Hi alex i would say things like bottled water and soda's are a lot more expensive in the U.K as you will find out soon.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I can hardly wait. LOL ☹At least I'll come back not complaining about the cost of stuff here!

[@kennyphillips6281]

All price rises / differentials are relative wherever one goes. Mercadona try to keep their prices competitive by having longer contracts with their suppliers but It is still possible to have a cost effective holiday but like Alex is doing right now, showing that no where is "cheap" if that is what you want. In the UK , from my last visit, it is vastly more expensive. The thing to be aware of is buying "own" brands they are still cheaper than known brands

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

And they probably make the home brands on the same factory. I’m horrified by the costs of things in the U.K. at the moment !

[@kennyphillips6281]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Alex, I bought a large beer €2.70 and a Benjamin (Cava small bottle) €3.50 in a local spanish bar around the corner from where I live in Puerto Pollensa but you have to go, slightly , off the beaten track...

[@linanesting2586]

Hi Alex, have you made a similar video for 2024? (Or could you please 😇). Is Eroski (in general) considered to be a good option if Mercadona isn't close by?

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Really good idea - definitely will be doing a follow up and price guides - thanks for the reminder !

[@Glyn-r]

Forgot to mention that prices have gone up in Spanish supermarkets since my last shop there. Hahaha. How much did it cost you in total and how often do you shop, Alex.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I always spend about 50 euros. Doesn't matter what I buy. Also can't seem to get everything in one place like you would do in Tesco. So annoying.

[@Glyn-r]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun just received this information and thanks alex .👍

[@faithg9766]

I love that shop, Mercadona is still way, way cheaper than UK.

[@mmckenzie8085]

Prices though have gone up a lot in the UK so still comparable. The one thing going by videos that seems very expensive is olive oil which surprises me considering how much is made there. What would be the average price for a litre of decent quality olive oil in Spain today? Also is it good enough to use as we would virgin olive oil in the UK ie on salads unheated?

[@eggy6857]

Still much cheaper than Northern Europe but of course median income is different as well.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Very true!

[@robertdippolito4936]

Do they have an organic section and/or organic produce/meat?

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Not in Mercadona but you will find organic products in Aldi! I'll make a video there at some point!

[@chulkcha]

Wow the wines are so cheap.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Almost cheaper than water 😜

[@chulkcha]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun can't believe 8lt of water is under $1 !!! That's insane

[@sylviaduffield9746]

ALEX WHY TO YOU NOT GO TO ALCAMPO ITS UCH BETTER SUPERMARKET. WHERE THE SPANISH SHOP.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

BECAUSE WHY WOULD ANYONE HOLIDAYING IN PALMANOVA, ALCUDIA, CALA D'OR, CALA BONA ETC DRIVE TO THE ONLY ALCAMPO SUPERMARKET ON THE ISLAND? ;)

[@uknewslink]

I think the prices in the supermarket you took us to in this video are low.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Haha that’s what everyone’s been saying !!

[@markcamp1363]

6 Alhambra for 3.60 that’s all you need to know 🍻

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hahaha yes 🍻
