Cost of living in Fuerteventura – food & supermarkets

By popular request I will be doing a short series of videos and posts on the cost of living in Fuerteventura over the coming months. Please let me know in the comments below if you would like me to cover any particular cost of living topic.

In this video, I discuss the cost of food in Fuerteventura and food prices in Spain generally. I also show what is available and give a few examples of prices for beer, wine, spirits, etc. Cigarettes are also cheap here.

We take a walk around Mercadona, the largest supermarket in Corralejo. Mercadona is one of several now on the island. It is part of a chain of supermarkets in mainland Spain (known as “The Peninsular” here).

Lidl has now opened right next door to Mercadona.

Other Corralejo supermarkets, such as Eurospar, Superdino, and Padilla, are scattered around the town.

Aldi is also opening supermarkets around the island.

Generally, as far as food and groceries are concerned, the cost of living in Fuerteventura is cheaper or on par with the UK.

If you buy imported brands you know from the UK or Germany, they will undoubtedly cost more. But most local brands are just as good so you just need to try them.
