Portuguese Supermarket Surprises: Convenience, Sustainability, and a Touch of Fancy

Intermarché Supermarket in Portugal: A Review. A recent TikTok video by Natalia Palacios (@nataliaxprr) has highlighted the popular Portuguese supermarket chain, Intermarché. Filmed within one of their stores, the video showcases a wide variety of ready-to-eat meals, fresh produce, and bulk food options. Palacios enthusiastically points out the convenience of pre-packaged salads and fruit platters, stating, "Mira qué bandejas de comida tan monas!" (Look at these cute food trays!). However, she also acknowledges a drawback: "A veces soy un poco hater porque es verdad que es mucho plástico" (Sometimes I'm a bit of a hater because it's true that there's a lot of plastic). The video also shows the supermarket's recycling bins, suggesting a commitment to sustainability. Palacios's overall impression is positive, describing Intermarché as a "supermercado superpijo" (super fancy supermarket). The video's popularity suggests a growing interest in convenient and healthy food options among consumers, and the discussion of plastic waste raises important questions about sustainability in the food industry.
