Albert HeijnĀ is the most well-known supermarket with good food quality and the most expensive. On the other hand,Ā JumboĀ andĀ DirkĀ are more affordable supermarkets. There are even cheaper alternatives likeĀ LidlĀ andĀ AldiĀ but lower quality. Also, some supermarkets are known for vegan, organic, and gluten-free products, such asĀ MarqtĀ andĀ Ekoplaza.
If you don't want to pay for shopping bags at supermarkets, you should bring your bag from home.
Grocery & food delivery
Suppose you cannot get to the supermarket in person or prefer home delivery. In that case, you can order fromĀ Albert Heijn,Ā Jumbo, or online-only supermarkets such asĀ Picnic,Ā Gorillas,Ā FlinkĀ orĀ Getir.

Online shopping

When you need furniture for your new apartment, you can checkĀ IKEA. It is cheap and of good quality. There are also some second-hand shops likeĀ Marktplaats, which many Dutch people use.
We recommend checking online shop reviews before ordering there for the first time. You can do it by simply googling the website name and reviews.
