Which Supermarket?
Re: Which Supermarket?
What a stupid twist this topic has taken !!
For the sake of the colour blind amongst you :- Gordo = full cream, Meio Gordo = semiskimmed, Magro = skimmed.
Butter is also sold in the same varieties - also 'con sal' (salted) or 'sem sal' (unsalted).
Just remember to take your reading spectacles with you !!
To get back to the original topic - they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
Pao da Azucar - best on Mondays with 10% of their own brand - plus cheapest fuel in the area.
Pingo doce - generally cheapest for Portuguese food.
Intermarche - best selection but generally most expensive
Aldi - middle of the road pricewise with some different (mainly German) goods.
Continente - best for money back on their card.
Cod is also sold in two different ways - 'seco' (dried) and 'fresco' (fresh) - but you should be able to tell the difference even without your reading specs

I think you mean "sem sal" not "sin sal" . Perhaps you were looking at a Spanish milk packet. Alternatively - Specsavers!
