They also have a lot of over the counter medicines like ibuprofen, analgesics, bandages, allergy medicines and many other medicinal over the counter products.

We were going to board the tram when my friend decided that this would be a good stop. And since we…read morewere already here, I decided that I needed a new toothpaste and a nail clipper. Hard to go wrong at €1 each. Despite being a bit from the usual tourist spots, the young lady working the register spoke fine English and we were able to transact our business with no difficulty.

Kruidvat is like a mini CVS, Walmart or even dollar store here in the Netherlands. Higher quality…read morethan dollar store though. Some are really nice while others are not. This on the Kinkerstraat gives me a panic attack. It's kind a maze walking in and difficult to find what I need. Everything seems scattered and a mess, falling off the shelves.
