bread with hagelslag isnt a snack, its breakfast or lunch 😋

dutch supermarkets looks much cleaner than the markets in my town.

I like the Albert Heijn because the younger staff who is working there seems always suprised if you are in the Supermarket.

My observation of NL is that while very few people think of the country as a source for "high cuisine", the basics of produce, bread, fish, and of course cheese is the best I've ever seen. Yes, AH will soon be converting many packages away from plastic. The Dutch love their cleanliness and neatness and of course AH reflects this, but it's not sustainable and many if not all packages will be replaced with a biodegradable or reusable replacement. Nice video!

Credit cards such as Amex and Visa can be used at other Dutch supermarkets such as Dirk, Jumbo and even the discounters Aldi and Lidl.

All for notting?

It is not a Dutch debet card, I have no problem paying with my Italian debet card. Visa etc is more for holiday in the vs. Every where in the wold my debet card works fine.

Too many plastic in my opinion, I hope that is recyclable

Albert Heijn also has stores in America. There they are called Giant. Buying pre-cut vegetables etc. is easy. But they are 2 to 3 times more expensive. If there is a fish shop near you, I recommend that you buy your fish there. You can choose what or what you want it and determine your own weight. In the Netherlands we are not used to living on credit. Quite expensive also due to the high interest that is charged on it. And with your bank drawing you will also receive a debit card. Or you opt for internet (electronic) payment.

I have traveled to more than 25 countries, but for me the Dutch supermarket is the best. The only stores that beat it are very up market and expensive stores in other countries, but never the regular ones.

I've been to this market. I stopped for snacks at the beginning of my trip and barely went to restaurants the rest of the trip. The produce was amazing. The bread was still warm when I grabbed a loaf. It was fantastic.

AH has been called out for their individual packaging. So far it is still there.

Always love your supermarket videos ☺

[@dutchgamer842]

The larger Jumbo stores have fish and butchers in the store, that you can ask by weight or cut

This video is from 2022. You can now use Visa card and Mastercard in Albert Heijn supermarkets in the Netherlands because Mastercard replaced Maestro cards with debit Mastercard in Europe in 2023.

I shop at a Albert here in Prague (not albert heijn, but it's owned by the same parent company), so I know most of these products really well. The store-brand products are like 1.5x more expensive here. Vegetables and fruits cost like 1.2x-1.5x more here. Prices for everything else seem comparable for almost everything even though the income levels are double in the NL.

[@Taru_FinnDutch]

AH has some nice options! I usually go to Lidl because is waaaay cheaper than other ones like Dirk,AH and Hoogvliet😂

[@dougpotosky4102]

Can you return something at the supermarket without a receipt? I think it is best to save it. Just in case! What kind of prices for the sushi? Thanks!
