You guys, this place it awesome- it`s really an outlet. And…read morefor Zürich prices, this is as cheap as it gets! They have new and gently used gear, clothes, and shoes- for Christmas or every day, this is the store to choose! I got new hiking boots for only 59 Franks, elsewhere was at least 200, for that I`m giving thanks! The snowshoe selection downstairs had new and slightly used, but not enough sizes from which I could choose. But I`ll totally come back, for warm or active wear, it`s just the coolest store with prices beyond compare!

My wife described this as halfway between an REI and an LL Bean, and I think she's got it about…read moreright. The gear selection mirrors REI well, but there's a fuller clothing line, especially at the more casual end --- and I still haven't figured out the kid's fishing pool. A touch of Cabela's, perhaps? The staff is helpful, and will happily break out their (sometimes rusty) English if need be. We mostly shopped in German, but once you start looking for books in English the conversations tend to follow suit. Picked up a new hostel liner for hut-to-hut hikes, didn't find the book we hoped for, and figure I'll be back next time I need some ski gloves.

Thrift shopping is one of the cheapest things you can do in Switzerland. Zurich is expensive, so…read morethis is what I like to do when I'm on a layover in the city. Zürcher Brockenhaus is one of my favorite places to pass the time after grocery shopping (another way to save money). This place is massive, with three floors of curated objects, clothing, and furnishings, and the staff is always nice. I wish I could bring the big pieces home! I always find something cool here.

We were on the hunt for a wardrobe as flats don't seem to have a lot of closets, if any at all, and found a sizable amount on the ground floor of Brockenhaus. I'd say the prices ranged anywhere from 300 to 1000 CHF, depending on quality and such. While we didn't purchase anything given that we don't yet have a flat, we 'filed' away what we would like when we do have a place to put it in, so, Brockenhaus, we'll see you again!

This is a huge Hugo Boss retail store located in the shopping center of Zurich. The store is…read morecomprised of four floors, which are efficiently organized by the gender and each of the labels of the Hugo Boss group (Boss Black, Orange, Hugo, etc.). They were having a men's Boss Orange sale downstairs, so we decided to have a look. Zurich having recently received the distinction of being the most expensive city in the world, and our comparison being the US, we found the original retail prices to be marked up, probably about an upwards of 20%. But Hugo Boss doesn't go on sale very often in the US, and at a 50% discount, it was worth picking up a few things that we hadn't seen in the US. We were largely ignored for most of the time we spent in the sale section, but the employees were friendly and helpful once we sought their assistance. The store just seems to get bigger and bigger as you ascend each floor, so it's worth a visit, even just for the window-shopping value.

Wow! This is coop on speed! This shop has literally everything: their produce section is amazing…read moreand they have a lot of bio options. The shop also contains a cheese shop (inside the shop) where they sell 180+ cheeses. On top of that, they sell dry aged beef. Not the type to cook with all these gorgeous products? No worries: they also sell a wide variety of ready made snacks and meals (fancy anti-pasta: check!), they even sell fries so no need to smell up your house next time you need a carb fix. Or just grab some chocolates from their huge wall of Lindt chocolate, they even sell packages geared for tourists - easy to take abroad as a gift. The liquor department is huge, I love the fact that they have a very extensive selection of smaller bottles of wine. Often these mini bottles are filled with crappy wine but here I found good quality Barolo and Amarone so a single girl can't complain! Another plus is that between all the premium stuff, they still sell their own "prix-garantie" line which is the lower priced house brand so you don't need to spend a fortune if you don't want to. This is easily my favorite coop in Zurich, the fact that it comes with easy parking (not free but where is there free parking in Zurich?) makes it a must-go.

This place is huge, I think they call it a mega store or something like that. Located on the 2nd…read morefloor of the mall, it has pretty much everything you could possibly need. The first time I was trying to buy hard liquor for a party, I walked around the store a bunch of times and couldn't find it--the wine section only sold wines! Then I realized that the liquor was outside in the front, at a kiosk-looking thingie. It also took me a while to figure out how to use the Coop passabene. If you sign up for the free Coop Supercard membership, you can pick up a green bar code scanner, scan all your purchases as you put them in your cart, and then get into a special line to check out without having to put all your groceries on the conveyor belt. Just hand the scanner to the checker, and BAM, you're done! (Well, you also have to pay.) It's fun to scan and quick to check out. They also have full-size plastic bags for free at the checkout, unlike the dinky little flimsy ones at Migros. Very important in a country that makes you bring your own grocery bags or pay CHF 0.30 per paper bag. ;)

They do have a couple slots of free parking in the front though, so that might be why it looks so busy outside all the time.
