Mobile SIM required for use in Albania

I shall be staying in Tirana for 11 days in May and would like to obtain a sim for google maps / taxis / general whatsapping, so fairly minimum usage. My apartment will have WiFi.
I think I can manage getting out of the airport without requiring it, so does anyone know the best / cheapest / easiest sim to purchase and use in the city?
I have an Xiaomi Redme 9 so no esim facility. TIA

    Which network are you on, you might be able to purchase an add on roaming pass rather than getting an additional SIM, for example if you're on Lebara you can get a 15 day add-on for £20

    After some googling, there is vodafone shop at Tirana airport.
    They do tourist SIM. 2000ALL (£17) for 40GB (edited)

    I do not have esim facilities. Lebara do not provide service in Albania.
    Is the 40gb Vodafone option the only gig in town? If so has anyone bought one cheaper in the city?
