Very nice store. It's got an excellent selection of fresh foods and prepackaged meals. I especially…read morelike that they have very nice variety of sushi to go.

My preference.of Cascais' two hipermercados A huge selection with reasonable prices. I like the…read morehuge variety of yogurt available there - when you've gone down the long yogurt aisle, there still the sales on the ends. And if that's not enough - just to the side of the produce there's an organic food section with more yogurt. There's a good selection of wines, though the Continente in the Cascais Shopping Center has more variety. And and overwhelming selection of cheeses - most Portuguese (many from goat and sheep milk) but some from other parts of Europe. There's a few items in the meat section that would be unusual to North Americans, such as whole skinned rabbits, tongue and all, and small packages containing 10 tiny birds, frozen, the whole thing just weighing a couple hundred grams, for Euro 6.50 There's also a big selection of non-food items. One section is even a small music store, only about three meters wide, with electric guitars, strings, amps, picks - whatever you'd need to rock out, at least small-scale.... Plenty of computers and accessories, phones, etc., auto supplies, and on and on. There's another floor above this with some small shops, and a large parking area, both in front of the Jumbo and on the roof. There's toilets (free) on both floors, and a Multibanco Caixa automatico.

Smaller than some of the Pingo Doce convenience stores. One thing I like about the Pingo Doce is…read morethat one can buy individual containers of some items such as yogurt that are normally sold in packs of four. They also have their own house brands of various products. For thirty-something cents one can buy a small container of Pingo Doce red or white wine. (The red is not very good; the white is just very bland, though some of it went into our soup with good effect...) There's lots of wines in the 1 to 2 Euro range, a paradise for a wino, or someone who just wants to try various things to drink. And more expensive wines can be found there too. People don't jam their carts to the brim like they do at the Jumbo across the road, so one doesn't have to wait as long. Prices really arent much if any higher than at the larger stores....
