How to make the best of grocery shopping in Denmark

Here is what we learned after 4 years about shopping in Denmark!
Living in Denmark is expensive in comparison to the majority of the countries in Europe. The rent is higher, transportation with other services is also quite pricey, and on top of that, you still need to eat. Buying your groceries in a Supermarket is the obvious choice, but which one to choose? Is the nearest option always the best one? Let us give you a couple of tips regarding this topic. 
Supermarkets 
When it comes to shopping for basic groceries, all you need to remember is that LIDL with Rema 100 are the cheapest supermarkets. Netto, Bilka, and Super Brugsen are the most expensive options. This was found by the Danish webpage Detailfolk.dk, which create a study, where they shopped 30 basic everyday items and compared their prices. LIDL and Rema also allow you to save even more on the bakery products, by discounting them in the last 30 mins of their opening hours. The same applies to the salads. 
Too Good to Go
 Another great way how to get a lot of food for low prices is by using the Too Good To Go app. Their vision is to reduce the food waste, and so they allow you to purchase products from the local stores, which would have been thrown out. You can usually purchase pasty, vegetables or fruits. 
Bakeries, butcheries, etc… 
Even though everybody is doing their groceries in supermarkets, you can still find a great number of bakeries, butcheries or other specific shops all around the Horsens. The prices are usually higher in comparison to the supermarkets, but you can be sure that everything they sell is the highest quality product from the local suppliers. 
Pick from the ground 
Last, but not least is another great way how to get a lot of food for dirt cheap. And it is picking it on your own form the dirt. Around the city, you can find a farm, which allows you to pick everything by yourself. You can usually get your hands on a lot of potatoes, strawberries or some other veggies. Afterwards, you can just pay with cash or mobile pay. It is tough work, but the results are worth it.
