A British tourist was left stunned by the cheaper grocery prices in a Spanish supermarket compared to the UK, and he’s not the only oneBrit holidaymaker left stunned by how cheap food is in Spanish supermarket<\/p>\n
There’s no question that food prices in British supermarkets have skyrocketed, yet we’ve largely resigned ourselves to paying whatever it costs for our weekly shop<\/a>. But when Brits venture abroad to certain destinations, the stark contrast in prices becomes glaringly obvious, leaving many utterly speechless.<\/p>\n That was certainly the case for Cavan O’Grady, who headed off on holiday<\/a> with his mum to celebrate her 63rd birthday, and was left gobsmacked after popping into a Spanish supermarket<\/a>. The pair stayed with his aunt in the town of La L\u00ednea de la Concepci\u00f3n, near the border with Gibraltar, but it was a trip to the local supermarket that truly made an impression on him.<\/p>\n Alongside soaking up the glorious 30-degree sunshine, Cavan \u2013 better known as Cav \u2013 revealed that a food shopping trip to Carrefour made him acutely aware of just how different things are compared to back home in the UK.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old captioned his clip: “Spanish supermarkets are a different level”.<\/p>\n Strolling through the aisles, the Birmingham lad remarked: “TikTok, I’m going to tell you something, Spain knows how to do it in these supermarkets.<\/p>\n “First of all, the place is absolutely massive. It’s unreal how fresh all this stuff looks, you’re just not getting this back home.<\/p>\n “This would make you want to eat like a king out here. And do you know what, price-wise, it’s so much cheaper here than it is back home.”<\/p>\n Cav described it as yet another “win” for Spain, highlighting exactly why he loves visiting. One local said: “Thank you very much for saying what no one ever says, there is good agriculture, livestock, fishing, we have everything in our country.”<\/p>\n Another added: “Mercadona is one of the crown jewels.<\/p>\n “I live in Spain, it’s a lot cheaper to live there than in the UK, the bills are cheaper too,” one woman shared about the country she lives in.<\/p>\n Some people remarked that “Spain was a paradise not long ago,” but now it’s “too expensive” for what they’re paid.<\/p>\n Cav said: “It showed me how we’re getting absolutely had on products in the UK. I was genuinely overwhelmed by the quality and prices on offer in that Spanish supermarket.”<\/p>\n But the supermarkets weren’t the only thing that left him thoroughly impressed, as he gave the local gym a glowing “10\/10” rating.<\/p>\n “I wanted to find a proper bodybuilding gym, which I found, and the gym is sick, the equipment’s sick, and the locals are really nice and friendly,” he shared, revealing he’d certainly return to that gym during his stay with his mum.<\/p>\n In another clip, Cav said: “TikTok, I might actually move to Spain […] This is the life for me… Might have to be a quick move here, lads”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A British tourist was left stunned by the cheaper grocery prices in a Spanish supermarket compared to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36100,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[8072,17,8869],"class_list":["post-36099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-spain","tag-carrefour","tag-spain","tag-supermarkets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
