uk shopping in spain - Page 4

Hello and welcome to the forum, it is hard sometimes without enough spanish language to find what I want but there is very little if anything you could not find an alternative for or for that matter do without. I chose to live in another country and really have no wish/need to have british products. Spain has plenty to choose from for me.

I prefer the fresh produce from the local market.......mmmmm and the best news is it's much cheaper than the supermarkets.

And for those items not catered for in the local makets a quick visit to Mercadona suffices.

I do most of my grocery shopping in Mercadona. I always buy Dunmor cheddar cheese there. It is imported from Ireland. Lidl I find is the cheapest for bananas, and they also sell fresh parsley, and a very nice gorgonzola cheese. Also I find it's the cheapest for cans of beer. My fruit and veg I buy in the local market. Shorts and T shirts I buy locally in the market, but if I want a decent pair of trousers or jeans, I prefer to wait until I visit the UK. I find the quality is better.

Hi,
I havent used them but I have looked at the website. Its also worth knowing that Marks and Spencers will now deliver to Spain for approx 10 GBP and Next have a website where you can order online and they deliver to Spain - nextdirectory.es I think... By using the actual company websites you save on the mark up that the UK Shopping website will add on.
