Murcia is the cheapest city in Spain to fill your shopping trolley

When it comes to value for money, Murcia has at least one advantage over the rest of Spain, as going to the supermarket is cheaper there than anywhere else. New figures just released show that the typical spend per year is 6,520€, 3.69% lower than the national average and the lowest spending rate in all of Spain.

The survey considered five categories of products and services: property (purchase and rental), tax (property tax, road tax and municipal) taxes, public transport and private (single fare of 10 bonus articles, gasoline and taxis), Shopping (shopping trolley, cost of a loaf of bread and a kilo of apples) and leisure (price of a movie ticket and dinner for two).

These are the main conclusions for Murcia:

• Murcia is the twenty-fifth most expensive provincial capital in Spain

• When it comes to housing, Murcia is the eighth cheapest capital to rent a home. (405.6€ is typical, which is 26.52% less than the Spanish average)

• Murcia is the best place in all of Spain to fill your supermarket trolley, (cheaper than the average 3.69%) with an annual cost of 6,520€

• Regarding leisure, Murcia comes in eleventh, as it’s more expensive to go to dinner for two people, with a cost of 55€, 14.34% more than the average.

The findings would seem to suggest, that to save money, hit the supermarket with a vengeance, go back to your rented property, turn on the telly and enjoy a night in, rather than going out on the town.
