15:00 Pindakaas means Peanut Cheese yes. This is because the word butter is a 'protected word' and is only allowed to be named if it contains at least 80% butter. Peanut butter has about 85% peanut so it's nit allowed to be called butter. It's crazy, I know😂

The needing your receipt to exit thing is only applicable to the self checkout queue. No need for that when going through the normal checkout line. Just one of the multiple precautions (next to random checks if you scanned everything) to prevent theft.

Spar is not german its founded in zegwaarth and now headquartered in amsterdam. It stands for "Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig" in english "Through united co-operation everyone profits equally"

[@JaapGinder]

And like so it was called "De Spar". (The Spar). I think in the video she showed a small Spar shop, because normally it are normal supermarkets, with a lot of choices. Coop (formerly Coöp) is almost gone and taken over by Plus, but also some stores are now Jumbo. The vegatables of Lidl are very good in The Netherlands (so my wife tells me, and she knows), Aldi (we never go there) is some lesser. She said that the short for Albert Heijn is 'á' but the short AH is spoken as 'ahà' Marqt: heard of it, never been there. EkoPLaza: sells all kind of alternatives, biological vegatables, all kinds of biological produced groceries. Mostly expensive... Dirk: yeah, well, we avoid the stortes.... they have good groceries, claim to be cheap, but mostly just not what we are looking for. Example: we looked for our brand of jam, they had 2 kinds, other supermarkets moslty 10... The 2 they had, weren't the ones we needed. And she forgot Hoogvliet, a big one in the west of the Netherlands. Look a bit like Dirk, but having more choices.

3:04 most of the prices in grocery stores post-covid here in the Netherlands have basically doubled compared to pre-covid. At least thats what I've noticed, but some products were increased by around 1.5 times, while others got closer to triple. So it could also depend on which products you buy.

[@DT-wp4hk]

11:20 The reason they do this is because Belgium is both Dutch and French speaking. This makes it so that the product can be sold in The Netherlands, Belgium and France, without any need for different prints on the packaging.

This typical familyconcern couldn't no longer conquer with the big, concerns with supermarkets all over the country. The supermarkets are sold to Albert Heijn (Appie), Vomar and Dekamarkt. How funny, that the photo's of Deen and Dekamarkt in this video are of the supermarkt where we do our shopping: in the little village Blokker. At first this was a Deen. But now after the takeover it is a Dekamarkt. The balloons on the photo are for celebrating the opening of the rebranded shop...

I go to ekoplaza sometimes for specific things like organic lemons and oranges, when I want to make cocktails or cook something that you need lemon/orange zest for. If you buy non-organic citrus fruits, they are all treated with pesticides and you shouldnt eat the peels of those. But it is very expensive to shop there, a small net of organic oranges costs like 4 euro

[@palantir135]

AH isn’t the most expensive supermarket if you go for AH brands and for the weekly deals. Aldi and Lidl aren’t the cheapest supermarkets anymore. If you want to keep it cheap go for the deals in several supermarkets per week. Supermarkets are always nearby in cities and larger villages. In cities, you’ll often find night shops/supermarkets that are open during the night. Germany has the best bread. Austria, Swiss and Polands have really great bread too. Best dutch bread, visit your local backer. Supermarkets have good breads too; go for 100% full grain breads. Old Amsterdam isn’t Old Cheese, it’s a brand name.

[@dutchgamer842]

AH used to be expensive and they haven't been the most expensive for almost 30 years, it was AH that started a "prijzenoorlog" a few times, which inturn made a lot of competition vanishing,, by either merging with others, getting sold or going bankrupt

i just either visit the supermarket very near to my house; coop or the one i pass on the way back from work, jumbo. i dont really look at the price. convenience is more important to me.

[@dgraveth]

Coop should be pronounced as co op it comes from coöperatie. Coop is seizing to exist and taken over by plus. I prefer the Lidl. I think the Dutch bread is the best 😉. The France language is because of Belgium. To make production cheaper they produce for both countries together. You only need a receipt to leave at the selfscan checkout to prevent stealing.

[@111237999]

AH is actually one of my favourites because they are really good at showing allergens. They showcase on most of their products little symbols if its gluten and or lactose free. Really convenient for people who otherwise always need to read all labels.

[@NunTheLass]

Albert Heijn is usually the slightly more expensive one but still the biggest market share. It's grown a lot internationally (Belgium, USA) and it's certainly the largest company of them all, so it must have been doing something right.

[@TRW98]

Albert Heijn has the name of being expensive but that isn't true. In the end, some products are cheaper in a certain supermarket but at the end it doesn't matter that much. At least not with the groceries I buy. I always go to the Albert Heijn. I tried others but never really saw a big difference in price and the Albert Heijn is close by and a really nice one to go to. The one close to me has a cash self-checkout so that's something I like a lot and don't see in a lot of other supermarkets.

[@Lord_RFAS]

AH & Jumbo are my two go-to's. They are en-route on my way back home from work. I'm single and bike a lot, so cheap(er) bulk buying like in Aldi/Lidl just isn't my thing.

[@frankdev2988]

In the north(mainly Friesland) there also is Poiesz which is cheaper than albert Heijn but more expensive than stores like lidl

[@JaapGinder]

We mostly shop at Albert Heijn and Jumbo, mostly depending on our needs and the discounts of that week. Lidl we do sometimes, just to see if there something to find on the middle isles 😉 Aldi we do not come often, only when they sell something special... We also have a Dirk nearby, but we don't like the shop. (see my reaction somewhere below) And that is it for the daily needs. And sure, when we are staying in another town and need something: we use the local supermarket(s) overthere, could be Spar or Plus (is a good supermarket, not the cheapest) or whatever others there exist overthere, like regional ones. As far as I know, we do not have supermarkets open for 24 hours. In big cities some are open to 22:00 hrs or even midnight.

You only need your receipt to leave the store (most of the grocery stores), if you are making use of the self scan area to scan and pay your groceries.

[@ginoh007]

Albert Heijn is indeed most common since they been buying out allot of competition as soon they struggle, why it is made to sound expensive is because the competitors are all very cheap in comparison. Albert Heijn drives prices up quite quickly and using its market dominance to do so with being there in abundance and getting rid of competition, Albert Heijn is also most vocal of not being that happy with the enforced trend that is being kept in place of having active store deals so they always had the card as a extra hurdle so shave for their profit way of operating.

The pre packaged veggies are awesome. We buy pre packaged, precut iceberg letuce all the time. 200 grams costs 1.09 euros. We buy them prepackaged because a whole lettuce head is too much for us 2 to eat in one go. We usually put it on a bun with a hamburger. She tried to trick you with the Peanut cheese. Its peanut butter but in Dutch we say Pindakaas and "Pinda" translates to peanut and "kaas" translates to cheese. I dont know why we call it peanutcheese, I think butter is a better description.

[@stijndemooij868]

The word butter is protected in the Netherlands. It has to contain 80% butter in order to be called butter. Peanut butter would be a peanut flavored butter instead of peanut butter. Even though the word cheese is protected as well but if it’s one word “pindakaas” it’s fine. Just like “smeltkaas” en “smeerkaas” which are no cheeses either cause they got to little amounts of cheese in it to be called cheese.

That cost to selection graph makes no sense to me. Lidl has a pretty wilde selection were i live and spar has almost nothing. But maybe that is just the case near me. I usually go to albert heijn, Jumbo or Vomar. Albert heijn and Jumbo bevause of the selection and bevause of the hand scanners that you get at the entrance with which you scan all items on your way trough the store , and then you just pay and leave, no lines. And Vomar has a lot of stuff and is 3 minutes walking from my house, while the others are 10 minutes walking away..

They did not mention self scan.

Our Jumbo even rewards you for doing the work of their cashiers, which are still present to do age checks for alcohol, random checks or the people whom prefer to pay with cash by the way. But you get a card and and a certain amount you get free stroopwafels!

[@jpfoto64]

Only on the self check out you need your receipt to leave the store. Also at the entrance of the store you fins scanners, so you can scan and bag your items while shopping. Than when paying just scan the code on the self checkout machine and you can pay than leaving your groceries bagged. Every now and than someone eandom can get checked to prevent stealing.

Ik ga voor de meeste boodschappen naar de AH of Boni omdat die op loopafstand zijn. Het brood van de supermarkt is goede genoeg om te eten. In het weekend koop ik luxe brood bij de bakker dat wordt nog met de hand gemaakt en de hele dag vers gebakken. Daar kan supermarkt brood niet tegen op. Ik denk dat je in Nederland, België, Duitsland, Frankrijk Italië en Spanje heel lekker brood hebt. Ik eet liever lekker brood en minder dan goedkoop brood. Bij EKO zijn de productie biologisch. Vaak hebben ze ook vers gebakken brood en voo rmensen met voedselallergie hebben ze meer keuze. Bijvoorbeeld glutenvrij of zonder zout en suiker.

[@Hrn250]

We have many types of bread, freshly baked every day. It contains little or no preservatives and very little sugar, especially compared to bread from America, for example. Albert Heijn and Lidl sell very good and tasty bread and many varieties. The local bakery is also recommended. So far I think our country sells the tastiest bread and Turkish bread is also baked and sold here ☺️

[@ivowalvis9228]

You see, in stores like AH, they have to pay people to stock the shelves, in the cheap stores (like ALDI), they just have rows of boxes with food and drinks that you have to take out of the boxes youself and so they just have to pay a cassiere. Feels shabby to go to but saves a lot of money you see.

[@dutchgamer842]

Aldi isn't cheaper, since they don't have the exact same products as real supermarkets, usually fake brands

Lidle, food for four or bigger, big portions, but the goods reclame is often plenty in stock off. Belgium, products from belgium. AH has shops there. Aldi & Lidle in Belgium & France. Broccoli, I buy at the Aldi, from the freezer, it's better then the warm one, since that one is wrapped in plastic and any animals, can't get out, so keep living in it.

[@Treinbouwer]

8:34 'Normal' markets tend to be expensive, and many are on work days, so, in my experience, they attract more elderly people and people of high income groups. The reason ekoplaza and similar more expensive brends are mainly found in the west, is because the riches people live there. Spar is an exeption, they have a large presence in villages where there are less customers. People buy most things somewhere else and the things they forgot, they buy there at the higher price so they do not have to travel as much. People like their bikes, but biking two kilometers on with small children or at a high age just to get fresh vegetables is not very pleasant, especcially where cars drive 80km/h and biking lines are few.

From the Government the opening times for stores are between 06:00 and 22:00 (10PM). The local city government decides about if and when a store can be open on Sunday but it must be between 6:00 and 22:00 (10PM) You can pay with card but it is only debit card, not credit card as that is a different pay and computersystem.

Hallo! I've been living in the netherlands for my entire life and this is a short summory of all supermarkets (according to me) from worst to best In my life, I have never heard of marqt or ekoplaza, but maybe that's because I live in the east. Spar is expensive and the stores are very... sparse😁. They are handy for buying bigger products. next is albert heijn and they are always everywhere but way too small with almost no variety. then Dirk, they are not everywhere but if you find them, they are very cheap. If you love Dirk, you only go to Dirk. then Coop, they are pretty expensive, but suuuuuuper nice then lidl, It's the cheapest option, but I don't like the vibe and they are very new. Most students go here. After Lidl Aldi is next, they are the same but very relaxed so that should be the best right? nope, there is one more PLUS, which is like coop, but not as expensive. but realistically, the reason I put this best is bc it's the closest one and I always go to it!
