Staying at the Correndon and needed food. Really like this place. Carts are outside, wheeled…read morebaskets inside. Watch the lines! One will be for chip (pin) cards only, and one will take cash. Don't get in the wrong line. I liked the prices, the cheese and meat selection, the baked goods, the drinks and the snacks. Yes, the produce needs to be examined, but most of it looked good. I found some adorable cake decorations here (lady bugs!) And the price just can't be beat. I'll definitely be back for picnic supplies. Albert Heijn is right across the way, and there is a tasty place to eat (Efem) in the same plaza. I'm a fan.

Veggies and fruit - be wary what you buy and really check it's freshness. Some things were a day or so past it's prime, some a little older. I would recommend this place for things where freshness don't matter: frozen food, snacks, condiments or bottled items, toilet paper, paper towels, bouillon, etc. all that was fine and cheap. For fruits and veggies, hit it miss (more miss than hit). This place won't replace my visits to other markets, but will provide a cheaper supplement.

I love Albert Heijn. Coming from the USA, I think it's such an awesome supermarket, with fresh…read morefoods at reasonable prices. This one is located close by where my cousin lives, so walking here is convenient. I went a couple times and it was never crowded. I once asked where hamburger buns were and the lady who was stocking pastries immediately brought me to another section to show me where they were, which was nice. This location is smaller than some of the other ones, and thus doesn't carry as many products, hence the four stars. There is an area right outside with picnic tables, which would be a great place to hang out on a warm night.

Don't expect them to have the entirety of selection of a typical store (ie we couldn't find asparagus or single onions here, but could find pretty much everything else on our grocery list). The discounts are the best part, everything's quite cheap. If you're looking for something super specific I'd try here first with the knowledge you might have to go to a second store to get everything you need. Not the best upkeep store, there's empty boxes and stuff laying around, and the layout is kind of hard to get around with carts.

They have great basic groceries for very low prices, and some toiletries and household items too. I went in twice while we were staying in the area for about a week, and noticed changing items in a seasonal bin that were fun - first it was Christmas sweaters and socks, then it changed to pillows and towels... just random stuff. They have a bunch of great snacky things - nuts, dried fruit, chocolates - I actually picked up packs of chocolate drinking sticks (like a chocolate ice cube stuck on a popsicle stick) to bring home to give away to friends. I picked up fruit, pre-made smoothies, and sweets. Such a great find compared to higher end markets on bigger streets that have great options also and fancier items, but much higher prices.

Sort of like an Aldi here in America and they sell things for I believe are way cheaper! When in…read moreAmsterdam we didn't wanna spend tons of money on the food so we ended up going to Lidl and grabbing some cereal, bread, mayo, soda, milk, and donuts. The products are so different there- definitely not what we are used to here in America. They had the mayonnaise in a tube! A tube! It was so shocking to see it like that. We also had milk but it didn't taste like milk it was so sour and it was thick- so when we tried pouring it- it was all lumpy and a yogurt consistency as it poured out. As far as the ham and cheese it was pretty good and the bread was a baguette which was tasty. The soda was really good and was in a strange shaped bottle- everything was so strange looking. The best thing about this grocery store was the pastries and donuts- they were like 50 cents each and they were bakery fresh items that tasted like they were made on site. I don't know how the store looked but only know about the products and the taste of them due to my sister and her bf going to the store to get the food- but from what they were saying- they said the store was huge! And they had a bunch of sales. They said they paid $23.00 and brought back about 6 bags of food to the hotel. If we were to have 6 bags of groceries here- I'm sure it would've been more than $23. I heard Lidl is coming to Philly soon- which is great news- so I'm hoping they have the same great prices and the same donuts and pastries for cheap that taste so yummy.

Having been to other numerous locations all over Holland I believe it. I especially like the prepared food section in the front, when you enter. There is a big selection of items. They usually have a few items on special and are clearly marked. My favorite item to buy was a pasta carbonara. Ate that almost everyday. Also, they do take credit cards. My favorite market chain in Holland for sure. Recommended.

A deliciously fresh bottle of juice for under 3 euros! You put your bottle under the spout, push the button, and watch as your fresh juice is squeezed into your bottle. The juice is fantastic and you can taste the freshness of it. The oranges are just sweet enough and it's so wonderful to know it's all juice with no additives. The bottle is about 6 oz., but you can also purchase a larger bottle (can't remember the cost). There's no way you can get a bottle of fresh OJ in the states for this little bit of money! The food they carry seems to be pretty much on the healthy side. They have ready made meals you can get for a quick dinner. There are also the regular grocery items for those looking for more. Lots of different ready made salads, a meat market, fresh veggies, a fish/seafood section, and a bakery are also here. Their offerings are extensive and it's a great place to pop in for a quick meal or snack item. I got a container of soup and a margarita focaccia at the bakery that our nice hotel clerk reheated for me. Great for a quick and inexpensive meal! Sorry, no pictures!

This is a large Albert Heijn location in Amsterdam, located on Van Baerlestraat in the Museumplein…read moredistrict. It is in an ideal location for tourists looking to grab a cold drink or stock up on essentials, while in the city, especially due to its location being very close to public transport links, and museums. It is located in a basement but you can get a decent mobile phone signal inside, even after heading down the escalator. For tourists, Albert Heijin is the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, it's pretty much a brand you can't hide from and it seems they have stores everywhere you look with almost 1000 stores in the Netherlands. Unlike some AH stores, they do accept foreign Mastercard and Visa cards here, which seems to have changed in the past couple of years, as some older reviewers did state this wasn't possible. This specific location is pretty large and carries two main benefits over the AH To Go stores dotted around the city: - Product Selection (Larger store, so has many more products including the freshly squeezed orange machine, which was turned on and functioning) - Price (Reasonably cheaper compared to AH To Go stores, meaning you can save some money here compared to their stores nearby, in general I noticed prices were slightly more than back home, but prices were good compared to other stores I visited in the Netherlands) Most of the checkouts here are self-service, but there are a couple of manned checkouts. The self-checkouts were reasonably easy to use, with an English language option, and a staff member on hand to help. I did experience an issue where I required a staff member's approval for my product, I did only purchase a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice, so I'm not sure if they offer random checks or if it was some sort of verification. You will also need to save your receipt, or request a short barcode to leave the store, so make sure to take it with you! 4*
