Saturday mornings are usually marked by an activity in my case - I go to the street market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. I know I can buy all of these things at supermarkets, but the truth is there is a huge difference in the taste of the products... and also in the price. A week ago, @LivingUkTaiwan published an interesting initiative. She listed the prices of some goods in her country and suggested we do the same, sharing the prices of those same products in our country. Her post made me think - the price of food may not be more expensive in Spain, but the housing issue has gone beyond the limits of a normal Spanish family. I mean, if you are renting a flat or a house in a tourist area, such as where we lived all the time until recently, you may already be paying more than you earn for the entire month just for the rent. But that would be another topic as I wanted to focus on the food today. Especially fresh products, you can buy in the street markets for considerably less money than you would pay for the same in the supermarkets.
