Is Portugal still an affordable place to live in 2026? Join me as I take you on a deep dive into the real cost of groceries in Portugal.
In this video, we visit four different shopping spots to see where you can get the best value:
🛒 Pingo Doce: A popular national supermarket chain.
🐟 Mercado do Livramento: Setúbal’s world-famous fresh market.
🌶️ South Asian Market: My go-to for bulk rice and authentic spices.
🥬 Saturday Bio Market: Local organic produce straight from the growers.
From €2 wine and €3 eggs to fresh-caught fish and local honey, I’m breaking down the prices.
