Hi All,
I'm new to this forum but stumbled across it whilst looking through TripAdvisor. I've had a quick scan for information on previous posts in this forum but can't pick up what to expect in terms of prices for groceries in the Algarve (Bread, Milk, butter, tea, beer, wine, etc).
There very good info on what to expect if eating out at Restaurants but not so much on super market prices. Can any one oblige. Is there a link to a price index?
We're heading out next week.
Appreciate any replies, thanks.
We were there in February and if you buy own branded stuff it is the same prices really as over here. You will unfortunately pay through the nose for branded foods, so if you want certain tea, coffee, baked beans etc then I would take them in your luggage.
In the Ali supermarkets bread was about 2.3 euros for a bimbo loaf, half a dozen eggs around 50 cents, milk about 80cents a litre. If your not into brands Lidl as in this country is certainly a lot cheaper. Litre of cheap plonk in a carton about 50 cents, Orangina look alike 69 cents for 2 litres

If your staying around Albufeira Plus supermarket is reasonable as is Lidl also Marachino has plenty choice but a bit more expensive than the other 2. Plus supermarket is right on the worms roundabout and lidl is just higher up past the watches roundabout further on than the local fire station. Have a look at the interactive map on I'd heard pricing was about the same as in the UK. So, a list of stuff to take .... heinz baked beans, tea, heinz baked beans, coffee, heinz baked beans, oh and some heinz baked beans........

You may find this useful,
On the other hand, I always think the Algarve has so many plusses, the few minuses are hardly worth mentioning...
My main worry is overdoing the cheap (compared to UK) wine, when we move there!
Not even Panriko's, which is much better.
I would go to a bakery and buy a "pão de forma" and cut my own slices. This bread is delicious, you can't find better for toasts
