Shopping

Went shopping with mom. Interesting experience shopping for groceries here in Switzerland. I am surprised how much of the food is pre-packaged. See for yourself:

Check out our shopping care.... all pre-packed...

My mom, always looking for a deal...

So  much is pre-packaged, I guess it is the same as with our groceries store, but it seemed there was less open fruit and vegetables available than what I am used to.

Of course there are open vegetables and fruit... but to me it seem much less than what we are use to.

Another view at the shopping area. In general, the grocery stores are much small than what we use to. They appear crammed.

Of course, there is the wine selections. Very similar to our price range. By the way if you are looking at the price labels, US - Swissi is about 1:1.

This was a surprise to me... dogs in the grocery store. I did not see them in the actual shopping area, I think that is a no no, but they could wait outside. The Swiss are definitely more dog friendly... meaning they are more accepted at restaurants and so on.

. In general, I think the prices in Switzerland are higher than what we pay in our stores. The quality is good, the fruit looked fresh, so did the vegetables. The stores are in general way busier than our stores, but this might be because there is no such thing as 24 hour grocery store.
