“Sardinia is also damn expensive” – one hears again and again. This stereotype has persisted for years, if not decades. At this point we consciously say or write clichés . Because sardinia can, but need not be expensive. Above all, you have to ask yourself the question: Compared to what? Of course you can eat dearly in Sardinia. In the restaurants on the fashionable Costa Smeralda , for example. Otherwise, the prices in the restaurants on the entire north coast are absolutely humane and in no way higher than in a decent restaurant in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Especially since you can be certain of one thing in Sardinia: the quality is always right. Whether a simple pizza or an excellent fish dish – all ingredients are guaranteed to be freshly prepared. And you can taste it. So you shouldn’t make the mistake of comparing the prices of Sardinian gastronomy with the prices in extremely cheap holiday destinations.

If you want to cater for yourself completely or at least partially, you will find all everyday products in the Sardinian supermarkets. As at home, you can also choose between different chains in Sardinia. The prices in the Dettori or MD stores are slightly higher than in the stores of the Eurospin discount chain. On the northeast coast, for example, you can find Eurospin in Palau , otherwise in every major city on the island.

You can also get fresh food at the weekly markets, for example every Thursday in Santa Teresa Gallura (Link). You can just as easily stock up on fresh and cheap fruit at the street vendors’ stalls.
