Brian and Diane, another interesting post! You are leading a lovely lifestlye, restoring your cottage, always a project ahead. Do you wade into your stream and collect water to decant onto plants? Thats a saving...i re use, ie decant from w machine, my nice scented Sunlight liquid laundry into buckets and wash floors, and patios and for loo! My family think im losing it..š Gee, if i couldnt hv my Tetley and fresh cream milk...š Otherwise i try to live on 5 units a day..incl heating cylinder for decent shower. A challenge. Bake muffins daily as well, 30 mins, with stone ground flour, taking place of ww bread. Simple living...best. Take good care. Cape town. āšæš¦ššš šš¦š¼

This video has to be one of the most informative videos Iāve watched about living in Portugal. Iām dreaming of coming over there myself, and youāve answered so many of my questions in this video. Thanks so much for sharing all this information, greatly appreciated ššš

thank you so much for all the info, Portugal is much cheaper then the Netherlands, nice to hear

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! the internet has been crying out for an episode like this. We watch multiple PT channels (We are moving over this year) but NOBODY has been this transparent or clear on pricing.. it gives hope and clarity to those wanting to move that it could be achievable. This was much needed and I think it will go viral ! Please can Diane discuss or look into lady stuff like hair cuts, colours, beauty products, skin care etc? Does she get her hair done? Are there any decent hair dressers as I've heard horror stories about PT hairdressers! Thank you

Next to Leroy Merlin in coimbra is a great buffet restaurant called āWok Mondegoā it has an amazing selection and lunch is ā¬10.90 plus drinks. They let you select fish, meat, shrimp, and veggies and then they cook it to your specs. We highly recommend this place.

Hello both, thank you for the insight into the monthly costs, it was very informative and your presentation was brilliant. ššš

We have a Kangoo as well! Itās a great all around vehicle. Weāre able to get by on about 300ā¬/month if we have to but we spend up to 600ā¬ with building materials and such.

You two are adorable, and the insects love you too. ;-) Keep filming and keep posting. Sharing specifics about your frugal lifestyle helps give me a base to consider so I can add my favorite luxury sins on top. Best of luck to you both!

You are so sweet, such a thoughtful video. Iām in Alaska and pay for the wood the same like you, often more. Iām homesick and canāt wait to go home. Donāt change! You will maybe never go viral but Iām sure your subscribers really love what you do. It was good to see you! Until next time.

Advise to not use the bottled gas. There was recently a news that is more expensive than if you would attach yourself to the pipes, of course if in your area they have gas pipes.
