After my first day at work, I decided to take a walk over to downtown Karlskrona and be a tourist…read more My original thought was to visit Hemkop, which is a grocery store. I like supermarkets to begin with and I learn a ton about a city when I am in one. This supermarket was a nine-minute walk from my hotel. It looked clean and inviting when I first walked in. The produce was fresh and displayed in an enclosed case. I loved looking at the desserts and candy. The supermarket has donuts, which were not enclosed. I would be careful getting them, as flies can easily access them. The salami snacks caught my attention. I bought a pack of mini garlic salami sticks. They were delicious! I was also pleased that they had lactose-free, sugar-free milkshakes. I tried the strawberry one and it was delightful. I didn't get any beer, but enjoyed looking at the selection. I had no problems cashing out. Even though I don't understand Swedish, I provided the proper amount of money in Swedish Krona. It helps that the register clearly displays how much you owe. There is a recycling area. I love how organized this supermarket is. I felt at home there. (320)

This shop is well laid out and had plenty of tills, although it was not very busy when I went in there. They had a good range of goods and I found what I was looking for easily enough, so that is always a bonus. Like many bigger English supermarkets it had a coffee shop attached to the side of it. This was unusual as it is not the biggest supermarket in the area but the coffee shop was well stocked and looked very tidy.

Lidl is a supermarket chain that hails from Germany. I first visited Lidl when I was in Frankfurt…read more I was delighted to find that there was one within walking distance from my hotel. After hearing a few of my colleagues talk about getting snacks from Lidl, I had to follow suit after work . The store is next to Karlskrona train station. I didn't even see it when I rolled into the city a few days ago. This supermarket is by the waterfront, which is absolutely beautiful. I walked in, got a deep rolling cart ,and started walking around. Lidl is kind of like Giant Tiger. You have cheap prices on everything. The only difference is that Lidl doesn't have a huge clothing selection like Giant Tiger does. I loved looking at all the chocolates, candies, and chips. I got enough goodies to bring back home. I also got some hand cream and enjoyed looking at the vegetarian section. I also have never seen crispy duck in the frozen section. This store is super clean. The aisles are wide and items are clearly marked. The checkout line was a bit long. I paid with cash. You need to ask for a paper bag if you need one. I had a reusable bag in my purse, so I was fine using that to put all my goodies in. There is plenty of parking. I'd come here for groceries and the view. (303)
