What grocery store do you shop at in your country? What do you typically buy?

The slightly more expensive local store that has one other location~45 minutes away.

Food. What a stupid question, no wonder it comes from my country's flag.

Whatever is closest. From my current apartment it's Netto, Lidl and Rema 1000.

I most frequently shop at Coop, this country’s second-largest supermarket chain, but only because I shop on foot, it’s the closest supermarket to my house (maybe three minutes’ walk) and I am lazy. I actually prefer Migros (biggest local chain, also found in Italy and Turkey, fractionally cheaper for a few items, doesn’t sell alcohol) for a lot of stuff (they have a better bakery IMO) but it’s a very slightly longer walk.

I also shop at a lot of my local corner stores, which stay open later and are mostly open on Sundays, but they’re not full-sized supermarkets and most of them emphasize whatever ethnic foods the owners prefer. So it’s easy to get Iranian pickles or Turkish cheese or frozen Sri Lankan food, but not a lot of international or local basics. On the plus side, some of them have better-quality fresh fruit and vegetables than the big supermarkets, just not a great variety.

I buy food. Mostly fresh produce, not much processed/prepared stuff. Also household products, although for cleaning supplies I try to cross the border and shop in Germany, where most things cost a lot less.

Today I bought a bunch of different cheeses, some hummus, some crunchy snacks, and some small carrots and cucumbers, among other things. Oh, also a watermelon and some sparkling wine, because I’m having people over tomorrow.
