Don't know if you know it but not to far away, just a 7/10 minute ride from this shop there is also a British supermarket. A former Iceland (Ocean Foods) store, now named 'Overseas'. It's quite a big store with a big offering of British and American foods in San Fulgencio, near La Marina
Hi. We did another video on the one in Torrevieja closing- we showed all the other overseas supermarkets from San Fulgencio down to San Javier as well as the Food Co in Quesada. Thanks for watching 👍
Been there once in 7 years purely out of desperation b/c you can't get salad cream in Spain. Would never buy anything else from there though because you can get everything you need from the Consum, Mas Y Mas, Carrefour, etc.
Thanks for watching. There is a larger selection of British brands available in the main Spanish supermarkets (or Spanish equivalents), but there are still some items that are more difficult to get unless you use a shop such as this.
@@britslivinginspain Precisely, hence my comment about the salad cream. I'm not criticising anyone for shopping there, just to be clear. Just not (generally) for us, that's all.
You can get heinz salad cream in pep and Co in Quesada and more nearer to us the pep n Co in Habeneras by carrefour in torreijvca 2 euro 80 cheaper than carrefour, can't eat salad with out it 😂😂
Pick N Pay is expensive. Has the odd thing thats handy. What isnt handy is the annoying €5 minimum spend for a debit card. Never use cash in Spain except at a market or a garage, and thats a hassle in itself. Went in to buy a can of Irn Bru and Ginger Beer a couple fo weeks ago and had to leave empty handed because of it. For the video, please think about the refresh rate of your camera when panning horizontally. Its horrible to watch, all blurry and smearing. When doing a horizontal pan, you really have to move slowly.
Noted. Will slow down the footage in future. (Not sure what happened as decent fps)- constantly learning. We found the prices of some items you can't get from Spanish supermarkets and some "british" ones as more expensive. Can't comment on using a card- that's down to the business concerned when we do these videos. We only try to show the range of goods available and any offers they may have.. Thanks for watching.
@@britslivinginspain the frame rate is more to do with how TV images are created, its a scanline that works its way along and down the screen. When you have fast horizontal movement the image doesnt line up by the time it starts to draw the next set of lines. If your camera is able to record at 60fps that will help a lot, it will be so much smoother. I typically watch videos either on a 4K tv, or my gaming computer which has a 144hz monitor. So its much more noticeable on that. I spent a long time discussing with Olympus what was happening to my videos on my other channel as I noticed the bluriness when I was creating content. Eventually they sent me out a load of new camera gear to sponsor us.
@@britslivinginspain also check the render settings for the final output. You can see what I mean if you, for example, pause the video and try and see the prices on the items, its just a blur. Thats all frame rate.

Great to see you folks, making Claires birthday one to remember. Back soon. 👌 You to @betweenthelakes
Thanks for catching up with us- safe journey, see you soon 😊
Really handy store, with plenty of parking. Does it still have the cafe at the back?
Hi we didn't notice the cafe/ wasn't mentioned. Thanks for watching 👍
@@britslivinginspain Maybe covid finished it off. Cheap and cheerful greasy spoon type place.
Cafe went last year when new owners took over, now have butcher, who is excellent
@@dorothydavenport4798 thanks for the feedback 😀 👍
I will have to take a look out there when we come out in may. Stock up on the cupboard essentials.
Worth the trip, although could possibly do it on the way from the airport.... thanks for watching 👍

would you be able to get dairy products like clotted cream, double cream and the such in the British supermarkets?
Thanks for watching. No so easily now, most of the time we've only seen emlea, or equivalent... ,
They do sometimes have clotted cream in the freezer section
Great video guys
Thanks for watching 👍

I think the gopro and the phones are set to 60fps 4k. Will check. 👍
