HOW MUCH IS THE COST OF LIVING IN THE AZORES - Check out how much we pay for food and drink Ep 32

Hi Guys,
This episode is about our cost of groceries in Portugal. We share with you the specific cost of our regular monthly grocery items. This will give a pretty good idea where we shop, what we buy and what we pay for groceries on Pico Island Azores, Portugal.
We also discuss some of the food we get for free; these are given to us by friends and family. Talk a bit about the old days, since of community and village.
The bottom line is that we feel Portugal is a very affordable country to travel too or to live.
We hope you like it; please click like if you do.
Love receiving your comments.
Please subscribe if you haven't done so; help us grow our channel.
Love you guys, Saude!
Carlos - Laura

    Portuguese people are awesome! They just feel good helping and giving something to others, it's just the way we are. Laura, a girl/female says "Obrigada" (a at the end) and boy/male says "Obrigado" (o at the end) Lol!!

    When I lived on Terceira we had a little garden and we had a chicken. I loved the milk in the cartons, you buy a case and put it in the pantry. So happy for you both being able to live there.

    When I am on Madeira I shop at Continente or Pingo Doce. Both have a reasonable gluten free section. I think that the prices are very reasonable compared with the UK. Local produce is a lot of times cheaper than special English brands. I always try to buy local products and also would shop for vegetables at the local markets. The only thing which is more expensive is goats or ewe cheese as I don’t tolerate dairy and also gluten free items are more expensive as in the UK for me personally as I get it free on prescription like bread, pasta, flour and cereal. I normally only buy gluten free biscuits and luxury bread. I like the little clips in between. When I finally can move to Madeira I will grow my own vegetables and fruits. Greetings from Scotland

    Hi Carlos and Laura . We are from Terceira living in Canada for 45 years, I think we have seen all your videos from the very begining and I never miss that Like even if the Comercials are long but we like to suport you guys as much as we can . I think if I was to go back, Pico would be a # 1 choice just because it looks so quiet and kind of relaxing to live. Me and my wife always enjoy watching your videos and thanks for charing your experiences and all the info with us. You guys are amazing . Thanks again eh...Jack & Mary

I say São Miguel because that’s where I’m from. Grocery shopping here in Bermuda it can run up to over 1.5k per month or more for a family of 5.

Tell her I sent you and she will take care of you. Furthermore, if you two are planning on climbing the mountain this trip, I have a friend that does climbs to the top. Her name is Steffi, she's from Belgium and such a wonderful and intelligent woman. Her company is called Hominis Natura. You can find her on Facebook.

    Well done Laura, they need all help they can get whit farmers and their poison hysteria. Here we expect a big snowstorm tomorrow, hope it is quickly over. The girls need to get out of the hive and start up their bee-things, so no more snow please. Give them a nice thought when you take the next teaspoon honey. Take care

As a beekeeper I think the honey is much to cheep....one teaspoon is what a bee collect in here lifetime, respect!! Thanks for a educational and joyful video. Take care and saud.

Bless you Respectfully, we would have appreciated a cost of living video, not so much how much groceries cost, but more so how much does it cost for basics in a month, like water, electricity, taxes, health insurance, groceries over a month for example, car insurance , home insurance etc. Total monthly expenses would be great to know..

    dairy cheese and eggs are a FRACTION of the price in Canada. Eggs just went to 4 to 7 dollars Cdn. and if you want any organic fed, free range, or other designation you're paying at least 8. cheeses of al lkinds are now 6 to 12 dollars for 200-300 grams, and yoghurt just jumped (and now never on sale) form 4 to 6 to 8 bucks. Ouch. And Canada is a dairy country.
