Oh but then, from your postings, you know EVERYTHING.


Oh and things aren't 30% cheaper in Mallorca, mainland Spain in some areas away from British enclaves yeah, but not in Mallorca.

From your previous post

Don't be too put off, it can be expensive here in the Uk, but it depends what your lifestyle is.

We used to grow all our own veg but we just don't have the time any more, but our weekly shop from our local greengrocers is £15, and I make a massive soup from that too, we shop at the local butchers, fishmongers, and bakers, and a little deli in town gives us all we need in terms of luxuries, its only really cleaning stuff that we ever have to go to the supermarket.


My cost of living expenses work out over 30% less over in Mallorca . and thats with NOT having to use 1 bit of chicken to last a month LMAO

I'm Jewish, thrift is part of my lifestyle.

Have you ever tasted a carrot pulled from the ground and eaten within a few mins?

The taste comparison is staggering, its nothing to do with money Pete, its to do with lifestyle choice, and since we have no children where is the expense?

One of the most informative threads here has now become victim of this on-going battle between you too. Let up, already.

So what have you found in Mallorca that is more expensive than the UK?
