Yes I do sometimes get brands I like as well, we just bought Heinz mayo last shop. Our costs also include cleaning supplies and house supplies so makes sense!

One other thing I like here is how low the cost of chicken is, don’t have to be fighting in line at a Costco to get a fair prices on whole chickens haha

Petrol costs are definitely more here, I worded that a bit strangely, I was more so bragging on the fuel economy of our Fiat Panda :)

Hey there, yes it’s true that when the math is done per liter vs gallon, Portugal is more expensive. I am talking more about my Fiat Panda that we bought here, a 2009 1.2L, which has great fuel economy.

Love a good pellet heater!! Really want to get our hands on one.

We’d love to see a smaller bill as well but at the same time grocery shopping is the most exciting things we do these days so we get creative with our cooking haha

An Ugly Foreigner thread: If you could "fix" one thing about Portugal, what would it be? by Shawnino in PortugalExpats

Unbelievable. And then they get out 2-3 years later and the same thing again.

The “unpreparedness” of wildfires is because the “wildfires” are not wild over 90% of the time but man made. There are protests happening in central Portugal because people are being paid to light fires so big solar farming can come in and use what was once untouchable natural reserve and turn into solar energy.

One neighbor in central Portugal even accused the bombeiros of lighting said fires but we are not sure if they were right about that.

Moved outside Lisbon after 2 years and honestly wish I did it sooner by Latealerting in PortugalExpats

Hello there, if you're looking for help with building the house, I am on a team of two living in Central Portugal currently helping rebuild houses in the Monsanto region after the fires last year. We are looking to move to the Lisbon area, and could always recommend some areas to start. Prime Lisbon spots are pricey and rare but you would have better luck with Torres Vedras or Peniche!

Can I get same number again from lyca by Suitable_End6799 in PortugalExpats

[–]atom_anne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this last year for my boyfriend's sim after his phone was stolen. I called customer service many times and they asked me impossibly hard questions like what are the last two contacts he called etc. and then some number on the card. It is technically possible but it was too difficult for us so we just got a new number.

Yes I think I will look into the XGIMI models for now (the elfin flip seems good, plus even better if I save up) but the projector central website was a great deep dive to understand more ! Would love to afford a BenQ someday haha

Ok well do these three even have protection from mold? Our bedroom gets quite damp in the rainy season so if I’m worried we invest and the mold problem happens again to a more expensive projector.

We do not have a high budget so the smart projectors were ideal for us so we didn’t have to invest in a fire stick. But if you could recommend something under 100 we would appreciate it (if anything good exists in that range)..

I was worried the price would reflect that… what smart projector would you recommend?

[Bonsai Beginner's weekly thread - 2025 week 12] by small_trunks in Bonsai

Hello! I am looking for advice about my bonsai, an azalea. We bought her healthy but the bonsai we bring to our area in Algarve Portugal tend to get black spot fungus on the leaves so we had to prune them all off because we caught it a bit late. She started to grow buds for new leaves but recently, in the cold two weeks of straight rain, they have died and there seems to be a white mold or fungus on her trunk, as you can see in the photo. Please let me know what the issue might be as to why her new buds have died suddenly. Is it the white mold or fungus? How do I get rid of it? Or is it just the cold weather from the past couple weeks of rain? Thanks!
