Let's say that there were times when fakta was far from my (budget) supermarket choice, but now…read morethose times have passed. Although they claim to be budget, they do have lots of good items, also specialised items for people with special allergy (lactose-intolerant me), celiac disease and so on. Vegetables and fruit shelves are pretty decent and so is their dairy fridge. Obviously their selection cannot be compared to the next door Kvickly, but I guess fakta has their own customers and so does Kvickly. I do rather go to Kvickly for certain items because they have more varied goods to offer but I go here too when fakta has special offer for their organic items (which they often do!) Another reason that I like to go here is because they have long opening hours (8-22) while Kvickly is just until 20. It's very useful when I finish pilates class at 20.00 and I need to shop for food, then Fakta is the only one open. Both are owned by Coop chain, so I guess they don't really compete with each other.

Let's face it. Why do we end up in Aldi? Because we're desperate, that's why. When you're running…read moreout of something, be it garlic or milk and it's stormy or super freezing outside and the only light you could see from your apartment's window is of Aldi's, that's where you'd end up to be. In all fairness, this Aldi is fine. I frequented this one often because I was too lazy to walk all the way to the fancier supermarkets across Lergravsparken. They have their own organic brand "Økolivet" that supplies from milk to rice, they have rice milk and organic eggs, and those are probably the things that I bought the most. They do have some random Trader Joe goods which is quite a gem. Vegetable shelves are also alright, although they might seem a bit wilting. I have experienced that you need to cook the hell whatever you bought from there quite fast, otherwise they wouldn't last. Vegetables from fancier supermarkets tend to last longer, but that's something you already know about, how else could they sell those things cheaper? Unlike the other review, I have actually experienced only nice things from the shop attendants. They are always eager to help and always smiling on the cashier, I guess that saves this Aldi from getting one star from me.

Right around the corner from our hotel is this little supermarket where you can grab various…read moreessentials like some alchohol, drinks, fruit, and some ready made foods. Great if your travelling and are looking for quick bites or just something to carry along with you for your daily excursions. The place obviously is catering to tourists visiting the downtown area as most folks in there buying stuff when we went we essentially buying similar things. They do also have weekly specials on various items which you can find on their website, which obviously helps to save a buck or two if your traveling on a budget as Copenhagen itself can be rather expensive when compared to other european cities.

Really nice supermarket! Maybe The cheapest supermarkets on that street! Netto is Danish brand of…read moresupermarkets, probably one of the cheapest in this moment. Personally I like, that they have a lot of organic products, they change their discounted items weekly and I had never problem about quality of my purchase. This store is organized, clean and seems everything fresh. Even there was a lots of people in the time I was shopping, no big lines in front of cash register. Last few years I can see, that Netto is really caring about their stores. They really taking them one by one and refurbish them. Thumb up from me!

I've already reviewed Irma in an earlier post - but, I think it is important to write a bit about…read moreIrma City: Back in end 90's, begin 00's Irma was apparently in financial difficulties - until they came up with the concept of Irma City. Basically, it is an overgrown kiosk with an amazingly varied, specialized, and organic selection of foods and non-foods. Also, you can pop in for some healthy salad (in a box, no self service), sandwich or soup whenever you want fast and healthy. This Irma City is no exception and close to my office so I come here a lot.
