Supermarkets

Post by bavlondon »

Does anyone have a list of reccomended supermarkets. Not small ones but big ones like for example one the locals would use maybe like a tescos or something like that. I want to stock up on munchies supplies as soon as we drop our bags off.

That list was helpfull, a good way to save few extra coins to smoke when you buy stuff from supermarkets than from CS's, although being polite, sometimes grabbing a coke. I wish there would be a full customed maps for mobile phones, it's hard work to add locations manually to Google Maps.

I hope you are not suggesting that you bring in drinks to a CS from outside? That is how they stay in business. peace

No no, I guess I wrote that down in a wrong way. What I meant, was that it gets easier when you don't buy all of your stuffs from CS's, when walking across the city, it's always good to carry some water and stuff in your packback. I'm gonna hang around in CS a lot, but it get's expensive if you buy all of your daily drinks and snacks from there to stock.

Not meant to rip off CS's by only buying weed from there :)

I second this place. I've purchased a lot of stuff from this supermarket. they're all over ams. You need to bring a bag or purchase one for .75-1 euro to carry your groceries out. water and snacks are much cheaper here, too.

Marijuana sales are how they stay in business, over priced drinks are how places rip people off, my wife only drinks water and I/we'll be damned if we buy a €2+ bottle of water in every shop we go in.

FYI, not everyone is enamored of Albert Heijn. especially those who have it as their only local supermarket. Part of the charm of living in a tiny country I guess...

I hate Albert Heijn website

thanks.

I knew it was some small amount of change.

The bags come in handy, though. Very reusable.

What would be the closest Albert Heijn to Hotel Vijaya?

The one on Nieuwmarkt seems to be the closest but any others? Or are there cheaper supermarkets than the Albert Heijn in the vicinity of the Hotel Vijaya area?
