Grocery shopping in the Netherlands is always a treat.
I very much enjoy going to the grocery store, maybe more then I should and with this video I wanted to shed a bit of light of how grocery stores in the Netherlands stand out form other countries. There are many surprising finds and interesting in-tell about the culture.
As for recommendations the video suggests a lot of classics, feel free to share other suggestions! (lidl mozzarella salad is pretty good)
I was also informed that Marqt does not produce profit! which was quite surprising since it s one the more expensive range.
Also let me know if some things only I experienced, maybe some things depend on the region…?

Spar in Dutch means spruce. As in a spruce tree. As in the logo of the supermarket chain. It was started in the Netherlands as De Spar: Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig. Nothing German about it. The fact that ‘spar’ means ‘save’ in German is a happy coincidence.

Fun fact: Spar has nothing to do with German. It is a Dutch acronym. Before the second world war, that was a bit en vogue to name companies as acronyms. SPAR stands for "Samen Profiteren Allen Regelmatig" (Together All Profit Regularly). The HQ is still in the Netherlands. Another internationally well known acronym is HEMA "Hollandse Eenheidsprijzen Maatschappij Amsterdam" (Dutch Unified Prices Company Amsterdam). HEMA was the first retailer asking the same price for articles throughout the Netherlands.

As Dutchie I was curious about non-Dutchies perspective on the products. But vla is just a dessert, not something to quench your thirst, I don’t think they advertise it like a thirst quencher. But hey, great video, not 100% accurate, but can’t really expect that either, it’s also pretty much interpretation. Oh, and about the sprinkles, dark chocolate ones are better than the milk chocolate ones! (And the vlokken version even better! Oh, and try Dutch peanutbutter with hagelslag or vlokken (dark chocolate ones of course))

Jumbo is a great second, no real reason except having Frank Lammers in their ads.

The major difference between American supermarkets and the Dutch - or European in general - is that at the checkout you are supposed your bag your just bought items. No checkoutpersonell is going to do that for you. On my trips throughout the US I noticed that lines at checkout were immensely long, only to find out that checkoutpersonell doesn't only present the check to the customer, but only bags the just sold items. Checkout time is extremely long due to that prolonged process. Forget about running a quick errand - usually you end up after someone who has a fully loaded cart - or several of them. Even expresslanes allow for multiple items.

@jarvindriftwood Жыл бұрын
Yeah American supermarkets used to be faster as they'd have a cashier and a bagboy in every line. By the 1990s, new stores were adding carousels for the cashier to use to save money. The older stores usually kept 1 or 2 bag boys that had to move around 4 or more lines. But they had other jobs like gathering shopping carts and stocking stuff. I'd always take over for them at my grocery store and bag everything. There are a few stores here where you bag your own stuff though. Aldi is the big one. The other one I went to was Save-A-Lot which was similar to Aldi with minimal stocking.

The reason why a lot of packaging has Dutch and French is because of the "Benelux" - the region encompassing the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, which many brands treat as a single market or at least manufacturing region. So the same product in the same packaging might get sold in all of those countries :)

The main reason product information tends to be in Dutch and French is because that way the manufacturer can offer the same packaging in the Dutch and Belgian (and French) markets. In Belgium by law both languages need to be there. You also (certainly in the east) find a lot of packaging that has German information on it so the product can be sold in Germany (and Austria).

The plastic wrapping of vegetables is indeed something one can discuss about very well. The negative side is - obviously - the extra plastic that has to be produced, and ends as waste. The positive side is that it keeps the vegetables fresher much longer, so less waste of food. For a humble consumer, it's not possible to assess if the one outweights the other.

Are US prices more expensive across the board?

Is the discrepancy between fresh and produce real, or are prices just higher across the board? Sorry, just curious!

One of the reasons for this is that we had a grocery store price war from around 2003-2007. It started when Albert Heijn lowered prices for over 1000 products causing other supermarkets to respond which all resulted in competing for low prices (price war on the dutch wikipedia page has a little section about this event). Comparing prices to the US might be a bit hard since there is a huge difference in infrastructure and logistics but if you cross the border into Belgium you can already notice the higher prices.

The fruits and veggies are located near the entrance to make you feel good about yourself and spend more. Super markets are actually allowed to sell all sorts of alcohol as long as the alcohol percentage inside is less than 15%. Also Lidl isn't that cheap compared to something like the Appie. Small sample size, I know... but last time I went to the Lidl it was for salmon and shrimp. AH's salmon was €24,- while at Lidl it was €24,90. Shrimp was also a bit more expensive at Lidl but don't remember by how much.

Just make a system for ordering as market, "I would like" "yes please" "thank you", that is all you need. Hoogvliet is like AH but cheaper, but only in middle and West. The reason they use French on most labels is to als sell in the other Dutch speaking country; Belgium.

@@eatsmylife_ They also have one at jumbo, not sure if other ones have one as wel. Lidl has an online account which is called Lidl plus. The AH also has an app on which you can have a digital bonus card, when you scan this it recognises the bought items and gives you a personalised bonus box every week in which you get sales on products you buy a lot!

De Spar is a coöperation of small shopkeepers to purchase together so by larger quantities they could pay lower prices for their goods. The CO-OP however was a consumers coöperation: consumers worked together to run shops and buying at larger scale could keep the consumer prices low. Both are Dutch but the same constructions were found in other countries even under the same name.

Polish contacts asked me, how long they could eat, twice a day a cooked meal, and not eating the same dish twice. Note: there are 184 nationalities in Holland. It took me a few days calculating, result: 22 years, plus a few weeks...... Sometimes you realy must look to find a Dutch shop...

Best money saving tip: a lot of cities have markets some day of the week, where they sell fresh produce for so much cheaper that the supermarkets and with a better quality. I live in tilburg and we have one every Saturday next to the city centre. Let me tell you these people there don’t know inflation.

Pindakaas is one word not seperated (not pinda kaas) and means peanut butter. Pinda kaas would be translated as peanut cheese. I does not have the right to be called "pindaboter" due to the fact that it does not match the requierments of butter. People think they have been buying some kind of butter which is not butter, so that's why the rule.

Correct! The word butter is reserved for fat from milk, nothing else. Come from the time they tried to sell margarine as butter.

As an occasional Amsterdam tourist, I’d say Albert Hijn is frustrating because of the debit/cash policy and I generally bought most of my food at Markt. I also brought home a bunch of their reusable bags and used them to wrap presents. Jumbo had an entire wall of hagelslaag, which earned them lots of bonus points. I don’t tend to bring home Tony’s bars anymore because they are actually pretty easy to find in the US nowadays. I bring home stroop, hagelslaag and autodrops as my designated Dutch treats.

Toch puntje van kritiek op deze video. Je laat hier vooral zien hoe de wereld van supermarkten in de randstad eruit zien. Ik geloof best dat er een groot Engelstaligen die deze video kijkt ook daar zal komen maar er zijn heel veel studenten ook in het oosten/noorden van het land. Dit geeft toch een foutive weergave vind ik. Qua aanbod van producten EN supermarkten. Feit dat je Marqt meeneemt in deze video vind ik volkomen onlogisch. Er zijn heel veel meer ketens met meer winkels. Dit is zowat puur Amsterdam. Noem in de titel dan Amsterdam i.p.v. the Netherlands. Verder leuke video, leuk in elkaar gezet. Toevoeging: ik had dit geschreven in het midden van de video. Ik wist niet wat er nog kwam. Het brood is altijd op omdat supermarkten uitrekenen hoeveel brood er verkocht gaat worden gemiddeld op een dag. Dit om verspilling te voorkomen. Dit kost natuurlijk geld voor de winkel. Niet omdat wij het zo erg inslaan dat de supermarkten de vraag niet aankunnen. En bij alcohol. Winkels mogen allerlei soorten alcohol verkopen als het maar maximaal 15% is. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld ook producten zoals mixdrankjes of advocaat.

The Vomar and Dekamarkt most definitely excist. Mainly up north from Amsterdam though. Where I live those are the biggest after Albert Heijn 😊 Price ranges are about the same as Jumbo! Selection is a little lower though, not as many choices.

Such a city perspective on grocery stores. Maybe next time you'll be able to explore the country more and see what we have in the rest of the country. By then, you may have learned the language or how to use a translation app so you can read labels. It's how I managed in Denmark, without knowing any Danish. As for how cheap stores are: it depends on what you buy, and what you expect of the store in general. If you expect neatly filled shelves, you'll have to pay a little more for the extra time that's put into it. If you want to buy specific brands, you might pay more for the brand name. If you want good quality, you may have to pay more (fresh produce at Lidl is good quality, though, so cheap isn't always bad) If you want store employees to be paid and treated decently, you should go to small local businesses instead. If you want a really good deal, cheaper than most grocery stores, and buying locally, markets are the place to go, but if you're in a small town, it's more likely to only be once a week, and usually not even a full day. Those businesses at the market often go from town to town to sell their products, and some towns don't even have a market at all, because no one wants to spend more than they'll earn. And if a town only attracts a small number of businesses that want to set up a market stall, one day a week is enough to let all of them set up at once. Yes, you'll have to interact with people, but it's actually good practice if you need to work on your social skills. And small town markets are so small that you don't have to worry about big crowds of people. A tip: if the baker 't Stoepje is at one of the local markets, you can download the TooGoodToGo app and see if you can get a surprise bag of bread (brood) or biscuits (koek) for cheap at the end of the day. Doesn't work for morning markets (markets that end around noon) as they'll pack up and leave for the next market, but it's great for all day markets or afternoon markets. Now let's talk about how you decided which store is the cheapest: you picked one product to compare. That's the worst way to find out which is cheapest. Try going for a cart of daily/weekly groceries. You'll see that each store has different products priced cheaper. You also didn't talk about product quality, which does make a difference, and is a reason I buy some products at one store, and others at another store. If you have several stores to go to, it's perfectly fine to go from store to store to get the best deals, and to get the products you prefer, all in one shopping trip (which doesn't have to take long if you're as efficient as the average Dutch person) Maybe next time I'll see a video of someone including Jan Linders too. It's where I find products the average AH or Jumbo doesn't sell, because they're more of a southern thing. Like koude schotel, hemelse modder, and nonnevotten. And they sell more local products, with the name of the farms displayed on the packaging. That way, you'll know you're supporting local farms, even when shopping at a chain store.

There are certain things that I'll never buy in a supermarket: bread, meat, fish, vegetables, cheese and precooked meals. The first five I buy from my local baker, butcher, fishmonger, cheese shop and greengrocer. And the last one? I love to cook, so that's that. I also often bake my own bread, especially on weekends. No sweets for me.
