Hi All,

Could someone give me an idea as to how food prices in Alicante compare to food prices in the U.K. I am trying to get an idea as to whether my grocery bill will go up or down.

Many thanks,

Sarah & Matt

Thank you so much for your kind reply. With alcohol being cheaper then I think our shopping bill will definitely be going down

Try Mercadona. They have pretty low prices on basically everything. Fresh fish, cheap beverages and alcohol, tasty pastries and sweets, meat - quite ok in my opinion. As I have lived in Sweden, every country is much affordable to my wallet. Mercadona is a cost leader.
Last summer I spent there 2 weeks, Altea to be honest. 40 minutes by bus from the airport.

Loved it!!!
