Coming over to Carvoeiro for a couple a weeks and any suggestions for cheapest store to do some shopping?
I read Intermache getting expensive!!

All help appreciated

Try the refurbished Pinge Doce in Lagoa, their own brands are v good value plus you can find many familiar branded goods if you must have them.

Thanks a lot for information.!!!
Can't wait to get away from all this rain.

I think that you will find that Intermarche prices will be pretty competitive now the season is coming to an end.

Speaking of Intermarche, does anyone know when the new store in Portimao is due to open? A couple of weeks ago it looked not too far off apart from the car parks.

It will also be interesting to compare prices with the Carvoeiro store, bearing in mind that the new store in Portimao is right next door to E Leclerc!

We have just had breakfast outside temp in mid 20,s.

Ref Intermarche to be honest we have not seen any seasonal differences but then we only use it if we can,t get what we need elsewhere.

Re DaveK's comment regarding E'leclerc Supermarket, I think you will find that there is a tie up between them and Intermarche, The same Group I think!!

Try Continente, they are in Portimao but are now also in new centre after the turnoff for Portimao/ Hospital.
Easy to get to and easy parking.Excellent Value

I use the Continente supermarket at Guia, I also like the Pao de Acucar supermarket in Lagoa, just off the new round about used to be called Modelo, their fish counter is usually very good.
