Well, that was staggering! I'll wager I wasn't the only one that would have bet on Portugal winning. It would be interesting to know how/why this is so, given that it so counterintuitive. Yes, that collabortation was a lot of fun AND informative. Thanks, as always, and more of these please.
I too was genuinely surprised as I was preparing myself for prices in the UK to be higher. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this video and the collaboration. Imo is so much fun and it was great to work with her... we have another collaboration coming soon on her channel 😀😁 ~ Mandy
I'm so pleased you enjoyed this video! I'm exactly the same... I love wandering around supermarkets in different countries... it's such an incredible insight into the country! ~ Mandy 😁😀
I´ve been saying how groceries are more expensive here and people look at me as if I´m mad. Now I can direct to this video for PROOOF! Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison :)
I was so careful in my response to your original comment, Luise, as didn't want to give the game away 😉🤣 I was genuinely surprised that Portugal Lidl was more expensive than UK Lidl, as I expected Portugal to be far less expensive! Grocery prices aside, I would still choose to be in Portugal over any other country any day, and I must admit I'll be watching your vlogs with such a sense of saudade 🇵🇹❤ ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers I noticed as soon as I arrived supermarkets where more expensive but you can counteract this by shopping in the markets. In the UK markets are a dying breed. They are either gone completely or morphed into trendy expensive farmers markets. So Portugal overall has the advantage. And there's the magic doorsteps to consider.... where gifts of fresh fruit, veg and eggs magically appear for you 😜
@@Solo50plus We love the markets in Portugal and were always amazed by the beautiful fresh produce and the great prices. Ma and Gaz were blown away by the markets we visited in Alcobaça, Leiria and Nazaré, as in New Zealand the local farmers' markets have also become quite expensive and more of a trendy status thing rather than simple homegrown products. ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@PlanetImo The next collaboration will be so much fun, and we're really looking forward to i! 🤗👏 It is always such a pleasure chatting with you, and thank you so much for your invaluable advice over the past few years! ~ Mandy 😁😀
I always find these videos fascinating- even though we don’t have Lidl in Australia 🙂. I love seeing the different products and how they compare generally to Australian prices. A key question for me in any comparison, however, is the purchasing power of Portuguese people versus Welsh people. For me that’s an important part of understanding which supermarket is cheaper. Really looking forward to your next chapters, Mandy and Lee - I can’t tell you how much I’ve loved following your Portugal journey 😊
Thank you so much for your excellent comment, and for the best wishes for the next stage of our journey 🙏🤗 I think SERGIO summed up things well in his comment below re: purchasing power, and it's always great to hear local input ~ Mandy 😀😁
@@FrugalTravellers It's ridiculous to compare LIDL Portugal and LIDL UK. What about to compare the cost of living between Lisbon and London ?! It will make more sense rather than compare the supermarkets. Ferry/airplane are expensive and most food travel from France to UK.
@@joaorobalo9353 Hello João. As someone who had spent 2 years in Portugal, I was very interested to see the UK prices of the things we bought regularly in Portugal... hence this video. ~ Mandy
I know your opinion on this topic, Luise 😊🤣 I'm kicking myself for us not managing to get together after TWO years in Portugal, and one housesit in common! We'll be back next year and would love to meet up with you then 😀😁 ~ Mandy
I’ve never visited Portugal but had a holiday home in Spain for many years and I always had the impression that Lidl in the UK (where I live) was similar, perhaps a bit cheaper here than in Spain. Excluding wine or other alcoholic items I think UK would be considerably cheaper for most things.
We recently got Lidl in the US (at least on the East Coast. Not sure about other regions). I haven’t been yet but will check it out! This was a really fun video, and a surprise result. I thought Portugal would be cheaper! Also fun the see the different packaging and sizes compared the the US. More comparison videos would be great!
We are so pleased you enjoyed this video, and will make more comparisons videos and other shopping videos on our travels. Thank you for taking the time to comment! 🙏😁😀 ~ Mandy
I found your channel while I was travelling in Portugal this autumn. I was totally doing such comparison when I was there! Now I am returned to the UK, and I am doing it again! LOL Btw, I saw a couple products in Lidl Portugal that I wish they were available in Lidl UK: J.D. Gross chocolate bar in pistachio flavour (Lidl UK offers several flavours but not this one), and La Molisana pasta (it is a really good pasta brand that's hard to find in the UK supermarkets, so I was surprised to see it in Lidl Portugal)!
Hello Razhiel! It's great to hear that you found our channel this year, and we appreciate you taking the time to comment! It's so interesting to hear that you also do price comparisons. I found it so informative to see the shopping that @PlanetImo bought as there were quite a few products that were new to me! I really like Lidl Portugal, and will definitely be going back next year 😀😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Hello Mandy, I look forward to watching your upcoming videos and learning about your new adventures with Lee! Btw, at one point of the video, Imo was looking for brie but couldn't find it. It was there in late-August before I left the UK for Continental Europe. Then, I returned two months later and found it gone! And yes, when I was in PT I also found supermarkets there more expensive, and I was shocked. I remember a jar of pasta sauce could easily be at least €3, and I just couldn't understand why it was cheaper in the UK.
I believe that because almost all products are imported and because transportation is much cheaper from Germany or Austria prices are small in UK and higher in Portugal.
That sounds like a valid explanation as to why the prices were lower in the UK. I was surprised about things like the laundry capsules being almost twice the price in Portugal! ~ Mandy
I am a big fan of Lidl in Lagos but always find that you need to go to a 2nd supermarket as you can't get everything there. It looks exactly like our local one back in the UK. Same makes etc
I know exactly what you mean about there being a more limited range at LIDL as opposed to Continente or my favourite, Pingo Doce, and conversely that LIDL had certain essential-for-me items that other supermarkets didn't have, such as the purple Luxury Muesli and Spicy hummus. I love their international weeks as well... bought some great items during the Mexican promotion and the South East Asian promotion 😀😁 ~ Mandy
We don’t have (sadly) Lidl, in Canada… but it is in New Jersey and I spend a months each year here. My daughter got excited when she saw that they were ‘Coming to America’. She couldn’t wait to tell me! Then, there were protesters… (because it was a ‘foreign store’), but once people started actually shopping there, it took off! The first few times I went in, I got stupidly emotional. It just reminded me of my months in Portugal. Looking forward to your analysis.
Hello Jen! It's so interesting to hear that Lidl is in the States but not in Canada. I hope you enjoy this video, as I want to make more of these when we return to Portugal next year! ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers I thought you'd mentioned (maybe Luise's comment) you'll be back. That's terrific, we may get a chance to meet after all! You'd love my little cat! ;) Great video, so nice of Imo to do this with you :)
Hello Jay & Jon! We were so surprised as well that the UK worked out cheaper... maybe it's also to do with the VAT rate? We so need to do a comparison of our home countries' supermarkets someday... I think that would be great! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Definitely surprised but the quality of the products at the UK LIDL were obviously vastly inferior. I think LIDL in the UK is more like Mini Preço in Portugal whereas LIDL in Portugal definitely has improved in quality over the years
Hmmm... it would be interesting to try the different products to compare. I'm only in the UK for 10 days this time but will check when we're back in the UK and Portugal next year ~ Mandy 😀😁
Most super market prices in Southern Europe are a lot higher than the UK. In Greece for example prices are through the roof mainly because chain supermarkets form a cartel and competition is only "virtual". Also their profit margins are huge and they treat their suppliers as slaves. Add to that the low purchasing power of customers compared to the UK and you have an asphyxiating situation.
Can’t beat a Lidl when supermarket shopping in the UK, their bakery section is as good as any. I have found cheaper ways to eat though. I use the Olio app a lot and here in Lincoln we have a thing called “ Community Grocer “which is basically a hub where supermarkets send their out of date food. I can fill 2 carrier bags with veggies/fruits/dented tins for £4. I’m currently eating like a pig for £10 a week.
Wow, thank you for sharing this great information, Dave! 😊🙏 The Community Grocer idea in Lincoln sounds brilliant... an excellent way to reduce food waste and landfill, and for people to eat well for so much less! I'm not sure if there's anything similar here in the West Midlands but I'll look into it when we're back next year 🤗🎉 ~ Mandy 😁😀
I completely agree, Cindy. I was so surprised when I saw that the UK prices were lower! I'm only back in the UK for 1 week, but if I can get myself organised I'll be working on an Aldi UK vs Aldi Australia collaboration with other TH-cam friends! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Interesting I wasn’t expecting this result 😮 I think to win it’s best to go local maybe. I did some comparisons on some products vs France and Portugal was the winner on many products, but this was a long time ago. Now with prices rising the game seems to be changing. I think both the forex and the economic crisis might be playing a role as well. I enjoyed this one. Take care.
Hello Nadelina. Thank you for the insights into the difference between prices in France and Portugal. We're so pleased you enjoyed this video! ~ Mandy 😁😀
I lived in France for 14 years...I find Portugal way less expensive, but as for Lidil about the same! I was surprised that Lidil UK was less expensive...Go figure!
Excellent! I really love Lidl's muesli and certain other products, so it will be interesting to see the differing products in other European Lidls 😀😁 ~ Mandy
I think the comparisons are off by quite a margin. Like your not comparing brand for brand. So it’s difficult to say? Maybe I am wrong. So I must move to the uk
Hello Mr Blue Sky, and welcome to our channel. This was definitely the most labour intensive video I have made, and after editing until 10pm on the Sunday and getting up at 6am to start editing on the Monday, I asked myself "Why did I ever suggest this video?" ... and I will give you the same answer I gave myself... because it seemed right at the time ~ Mandy 😁😀
@@FrugalTravellers I have no problem with the idea, I think it's a great idea to compare prices of the same retailer in different countries and salute your hard work. As I said, it's hard to compare when you put Pounds next to Euros.
I really enjoyed this comparison but fully expected the UK prices to be higher. 🫢. Here in the States, Aldi is much more prevalent than Lidle. I prefer Aldi but Lidle carries more name brand items and I do like their bakery. Good luck to you and safe travels to the middle east!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and we hope you enjoy our travels to the Middle East and onwards 😊🙏 I too was also surprised at the result, as had heard that UK prices had skyrocketed, yet some of the products in Portugal were way more expensive. We're definitely Lidl fans - I find Aldi to be too cold and clinical ... maybe just from the different sign colours 😀😁 ~ Mandy
