Grocery Shopping Madrid
Hello everyone. It seems that I was not able to update this blog for some days. I am currently out of the country. In fact, I am currently in Madrid staying in a friend’s apartment. This is quite an adventure trip in Spain. Last Monday, I was asking some people in the house where is the nearest grocery store. After having the direction, I walked alone some hundred meters and finally reached the store. It seems that grocery items are more expensive here in Spain than in Germany. I was looking for planters peanuts but I saw different brands. Besides a pack of a 200 to 300 grams already costs from 3 to 5 Euros.
I also bought shampoos and a liquid body bath soap. Garnier shampoo is more expensive also. It costs 3.05 Euros compared to Germany which only costs 2.25 Euros and sometimes I can buy it on sale for 1.69 Euros. Food items are also quite expensive. I wonder how the people with low income are living here and meeting their ends. For sure, they have to budget everything to make it sure that all their basic needs are meet.
I will for sure give you some updates about my Spain trip when I am back to Germany.
