- How expensive is to live in Malta? The cost of living in Malta is going up, and in this video you will get all the prices that you can find in 2 different supermarkets around Malta. With this video you can get the point of expenses in Malta that you will have monthly. Prices are going up as everywhere in the world, but Malta still has a slow increase in the cost of living compared to the rest of Europe. Is Malta cheap ? It is and its not, depends on what kind of expenses you have.

Cost of living gone up all over the world , but your last comment was spot on Malta went up the least compared to the rest of Europe and 💯 spot on live on a budget you can afford.
👍🏻🙏🏼thank you
Hey Alex, as a Maltese person I enjoy watching your videos. It provides me with a different perspective on our way of life. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Michael, im glad you are enjoying my videos eventough you are Maltese, i get comments like yours a lot, and i wonder what is the perspective you see ? :)
@@AlexinMalta The first thing that comes to mind is that you are true to your viewers. You do not sugarcoat, and say that coming to Malta is going to be easy, you will get rich etc. As in fact, coming to Malta is difficult for a third-country national.
Also, you mentioned that life here is expensive compared to the average salary most Maltese and expats are earning, which is also true.
I think you are doing a great service to Malta, as you are providing information through your experience to expats that are dreaming of coming to Malta. Which in the last years was too much!
I agree that Malta is overpopulated and we have lost our identity. However, you are right that skilled workers are needed here, as people such as myself will not work those type of jobs.
@@mich.cachia thank you Michael 🤗i really appreciate you taking time to write this comment. I am glad to see that you have really got my point of the videos and im pretty sure you noticed that even when i have to show the “negative” side i still remain respectful towards Malta. I am sending you a big friendly hug
@@mich.cachiayes he does not sugar coat
Thank you, Alex. I enjoyed this video and seeing the selection and prices in the Maltese supermarkets.
BTW, I loved your "Ta-da" entrance ☺️
TADAAAAAA❤️thank you so much
Malta inflation went up 7.4 and in Europe 11 , But you forgot to mention that wages all over europe went up according to Inflation yet Malta stayed the same .
Actually a lot of things are cheaper or same as Brazil. I was expecting way more expensive. Thanks for the video!
Hi Mr Alex, thank you for your prayers and advice. I will be there soon in Malta.
Shout out from Bangalore, India 🇮🇳
❤️
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 🎥 🏆 👏.
Those prices are quite surprisingly high, when considering Ma€ta's average wage ! 😲. Believe it or not, those prices are mostly similar to ours 🇦🇺. Like you said Alex, one has to be a "savvy shopper", yes NOW more than ever wherever 🌏 🛒 🦉.
THANKS ALEX 🙏.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Thanks John ❤️
As someone who came to Malta from Ireland, which i found a little more expensive than the UK, I was totally shocked (and continue to be), at the cost of living in Malta, moreso if you consider the average worker wage. Just one little example, a large pack of butter, which cost 2.75€ in Ireland, will set you back almost 8€ here. Bargains? I think not! A warning to any Brits thinking of retiring here......Hope you have a generous pension, otherwise you will struggle. Not just higher cost of food, but rents are mental, and don't get me started on property prices, makes the South of France look very cheap!
What you are saying is all true.
Thanks for your comment, i have made already a dedicated video on how much are the fixed costs (rent, bills, car costs etc) 2K a month is quite decent for this island
My daughter and late son-in-law lived in Malta for 12 years, they bought a house for cash, it was beautiful but it took them 8 years to sell, they lived on a hillside and could see the sea, they sold complete with EVERYTHING, my daughter now lives in a private semi in England and glad to be ‘home’. The grass is not always greener eh. As for Maltese properties being cold, say no more. Have a nice day ☕️
@@enidwhiteside5378 If you don't put the heater on of course it is cold. As for England i wouldn't live there if you gave me a house for free.
Marble floors and only rugs (no fitted carpets obviously) electric heaters are pretty useless, everything smells damp. The terrible flooding in Malta and hailstones, tourists don’t see that they think it’s all sunshine and hot we’ll it’s certainly not, we holiday in Malta and Gozo but would never live there again.
Thank you for the info Alex! We usually shop at liddl and we find better and cheaper products there, of all sorts. Thank you again ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Alex. I have a suggestion for your next video. Why not create an informative video for family unification for expats in Malta. The process they need to go through, requirements, etc., to bring their loved ones there in Malta. Thanks!
The Island is sinking too many people there already.
Will do :)
Hey Alex, Deepika here. Hope you are doing well. I have been MIA for sometime now 😅 But I have been watching all your videos. As usual you are doing a wonderful job. Finally managed to get an appointment for my visa. I hope I get to come to Malta at the earliest 🙏
This is the first time I have seen your channel (this is the 3rd vlog I have seen back to back).
Love your personality !
There's always an Aldi near Lidl they are cheaper, I'm surprised Aldi is not there. Thank you for showing us around ❤️
Aldi ? I havent heard of that i need to check that
@@AlexinMalta
It's a German store like Lidl, so many in the UK. I don't think they are in Malta.
@@AlexinMaltaAldi is one of the most popular if not THE MOST popular supermarkets in the U.K. It is also know worldwide, as my cousin in Melbourne Australia also shops there. It’s similar to Lidl, but it has the edge!
I think Safi in Lidl is the best lidl not only the prices but also there low customers
unlike other lidl shops in Malta cause they have a traffic
Good point. Thank you
Soo different when I arrived in Malta in 1959. I had £4 ,10 shillings a week. I had to save for electricity each week .Loved my time in Malta.
Really found it interesting Alex! Thanks for this.Took me back to when i was holidaying in Malta and used to go shopping. I went to Carters at Paola, and also Lidl. That was back in 2010.
Im glad i brought up some memories❤️
How did you find Malta compared to where you are living?
Prices in LIDL stores in Malta are very similar to those in French and European LIDL stores in general...For services, on my last visit to Malta I paid €5 for a haircut at BUGIBBA which is very cheap.
Great new video, Alex. It made me smile when I saw that you like Käse Krainer :D They are in indeed very delicious. Very interesting and relevant video. Keep it up 🤩
Hello Ludwig❤️been a while. Käse Krainer is my favorite and now its sold out 😂hope to see you soon. I will be in Gozo on 14th Dec
will be happy to meet you if I can! You've given me the majority of the information I know about Malta. My husband and son and I will be there in November. Together with creating content and sharing a meal, it would be fantastic if you could share some of your brilliant ideas with me. I also vlog on Facebook.
Ciao Alex, I enjoy your video. where I live, near Bari in Puglia, Italy, prices seem to be the same. I expected cheaper prizes in Malta. Ciao e alla prossima!
Very good information, Alex.
Loved your show Alex. My Maltese BF and I are planning to spend the winters there. We're in Montréal and would be what's called snowbirds. Your reviews prove very helpful in this delicate decision making process. Thank you!
Grazie Mario, hope you will manage to come to Malta soon
Hi Alex i am watching your videos from Nepl it really good for the information so keep up the good work thank you
Fun video Alex! Did you remember to get your shampoo & hairspray? 😉
Yap :) i did ❤️
Hi. We have a same price in Republic of Ireland. Alcohol more expensive here than Malta.
thank you for the update :)
Nice video Alex great video as always Lidl so similar prices to Spain lidl jeje warm hugs
Hola ❤️
Great video Alex! I also visit Lidl in safi when im in Malta ,has the best lay out and seems a bit quieter than others, i also visit Pavi a huge supermarket with everything you need,pity they took the chinese out though loved the chicken/egg rice take away!
You should make this a series visiting big supermarkets in Malta , I’m interested in your review about welbee’s supermarket and greens supermarket swieqi
at the end of the video he was in pavi, which is maybe bigger than welbee and greens
I will do them as well :)
Loved your video, your energy and your entrance!!!
This is a nice and important video. Like! Just specify the weight/volume/units the prices are shown.
Noticed nescafe latte box of 8 etc €3.99 in the UK £160 , so just from that you know a UK tourist is going to get ripped off in Malta shops.
£160 or u mean £1.60?
@@AlexinMalta
£1.60 my lazy typing
Nice vlog.. what about the Asian supermarket
From Now On I Love You Alex😊🤩 Malta Is One Of My Favorite Country....🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
What? No ice cream? No cookies (biscuits to the Brits)? No frozen toaster waffles? No ramen noodles? No condiments? What kind of a shopper are you? 🤔😳🤷♂😉😂 Seriously, thanks so much for this video, Alex. Any and all comparison points are very helpful!
Hehehe thanks David :) i will do a dedicated video with 100 items :)
my super store is Lidil at Safi but the only thing against it that i cant find evrey thing i need there thanks for your very interesting vedeos
Hey Carmen, say hi if you see me there :) yes, i cannot find everything i need either, especially not cleaning products :p
The living costs keep going up and the wages well lets just say the future is not looking so bright for middle and lower classes. Especially if you look at renting or buying property.
Alex , You forgot to get Your Shampoo & Hair Spray.. Lol. Good day.. 👍🙂 Thanks.
I got them 🤩❤️
You are always share profound knowledge
I try my best❤️
The spreadable butter that i like is $ 7.50 cent Here in Australia which would be about 14 pound so the prices there ain't too bad
That is one hours work in Malta. In OZ the min pay is $24 an hour.
Grande Alex...aspettavo un nuovo videooooo
❤️
Almost everything there is expensive than in my country ( obviously it's Eu ! ) except for wine, wine is more expensive in my country, however these days everything is getting way more expansive in my country we're close to reach to these prices even tho most people's salaries in here can't handle it for a long time.
I live in malta so I don't know what to expect
I will be spending a month in Valletta Malta starting at the beginning of May. What grocery store do you recommend I use? I do not have a car, but wondering if the busses run to the Lidl or Pavi?
Watching from London the weather looks good till we land in 5 hours 🤦♀️
welcome to rainy Malta :P
thanks for the video Alex
❤️
Where I live in the Netherlands, the Lidl is much cheaper.
CRAZY EXPENSIVE .. IN THE CHEAP GROCERY..omg.. i saw the picture.. ty..i love my canadian city.. andi saw rents go bonkers too in malta, how people can live there? this is not monaco

Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️ very interesting, here cost of living sky high,💖💖🇲🇹💖💖🙋♀️👍
Those prices are very good, very surprised.
:)
Alex, what about taxes? Are they included in the priees? or you pay them at the end of your receipt
Included
Hi, Alex, greetings from Romania! :) Love your channel. You mentioned that you're from Macedonia, would you say prices in LIDL Malta are better than your home country? Ours are more expensive than Malta and our salaries are extremely low so this is depressing to see :(
Oh wow ! Im sorry to read this :/ im from Macedonia yes, but we do not have Lidl. However the proces for groceries are pretyy much the same as in Malta and our salaries are lower than Malta
Hi christi please I need your contact
Alex , can you plz tell me how much is the car you are driving and would be great if you could do a video on buying a second hand cars or new car prices in Malta plus how much does the insurance cost or possibly maintenance of car and everything related to this , I am sure you have not done any videos on this subject . I am interested as I will be buying one and would love to hear from you .
hey :) so, my car is a gift, it is toyota from 2006 and i love her, her name is "Petranka" :P i pay roughly around 600e annual for insurance, registration and car service. You can find decent second hand cars for 1500 - 2000euros :)

Pls for someone who loves drinking water and bathing regularly i hope domestic water is available in other words, there isnt much drought all year round ?
Actually I’m thinking about study English in Malta and preparing IELTS
But I don’t have any information about Malta because that country isn’t famous in our country Saudi Arabia
But really I’m interested about Malta and I hope visit it
But I have a small question, can a foreign allowed to work and study?
And the work is easy for getting it?
Thank you 🙏🏽
I wish you a happy life.
I actually really enjoy the foodie ones as it gives me ideas. I'm a northerner so very meat and gravy focused 😂. Appreciate they aren't for everyone though.
Dear Alex, thx for great videos. Can you tell me electronics market brand in Malta. Is there mediamarkt or something like that?
5:40 2liters of water only costs 0.43€ ? oh god thats so cheap. I buy a water named Mondariz.it's ordinary spanish water.nothing special with it. it costs 0.6 euro per 1.5 liters.
Tbh lately i've been shopping and greens as usually it has sale and also you can use the point from the green card :)
Price not bad at all..almost the same here considering I live in a third world country..

Hey Alex, im moving to malta and im looking to rent a studio or apartment. Do you know a good website for this and do you have any advice?
Book airbnb for a week and look for apartment on spot
@@AlexinMalta thanks!
alex you forget to show electrict item
ALEX ... like to see fish and seafood prices ; shrimp, salmon, tilapia, oysters
Where is your salmon from ?
Do you think there will be a food supply problem in 2023 and prices will go a lot higher ?
If you are poor don't bother about the prices of those things. Rich people don't care what anything cost.
Same prices here in France
