Hello Market Friday Community,
This week I share a recent shopping trip to the MD supermarket in Cavallino in Italy. When I go on holiday, I like to check the supermarkets and what products they have compared to back home.
We did originally plan to go to Lidl and did visit the Lidl in Jesolo, but it was very disappointing and has gone downhill since the last time we were there. Luckily, we moved on to MD and there they had a much better choice of products.
MD is not a huge supermarket, but it is big enough and has a good range of products. The prices were also pretty reasonable too I thought.
When you first enter, you see the fruit and veg section.
We grabbed plenty of fruits to take with us.
The kids are eating melon every day and there were plenty to choose from here.
Next they have some cheese and hams. I didn't look to closely at this section.
Close by they also had plenty of fruit juices to choose from. They had this really nice Pineapple one that we bought and I could recommend.
I also bought some italian beer to take home with us. I didn't drink it yet and may do a Beer Saturday post about it.
There was another section full of cheeses.
The dairy section was quite big and led to the bakery section at the back of the supermarket.
Heading down a new isle I saw they had plenty of coffee options. This was not the only coffee section either.
They also had plenty of sweet options for those with a sweet tooth. Here they had these typical sweet soft cakes that are quite popular.
Of course, being in Italy you want to check out the olive oils and maybe grab a bottle to take home with you.
This one looked ok and we took it.
After, I checked out the pasta section to see how it compares to back home. They had a lot of spaghetti and pasta choices here, even in this discount store.
Prices looked pretty cheap here too.
I saw they also had lots of pre-made pasta sauces here too. If you wanted to make a quick meal with a jar of sauce and some spaghetti, it would set you back less than €1,50.
Here they had an offer for one at 0,79€, but I dont know how it tastes.
Of course, you would need something to drink with that meal, here they had quite a few beers available, but I don't drink too much beer these days.
They had a pretty good wine sections with lots of wines to choose from.
My cellar is already still stocked from the last time we bought wine from here and brought it home.
It was also only a couple of euro for a bottle of Hugo if you like some cocktail. We bought some Spritz to enjoy.
Finally we were done and headed for the checkout and were done for this shopping trip. Happy Market Friday!
Thanks for dropping by.
