Life in Lille -Part3

There are many variety of supermarkets in France. I may just put forth the main stores.

First, the popular one is Carrefour which break down into many sort of their supermarkets, notably Carrefour Market and Carrefour City. Carrefour Market sells more goods, including home appliance, books, etc. than Carrefour City emphasizing on food. If you just need some instrument or food that does not torture your wallet while maintaining quality moderately, Voila your choice is here.

Second, Monoprix is the prestigious supermarket chain in France. Of course, prices quoting are more expensive than its counterparts, nonetheless; we are more assured in quality of products. You can find products like clothing and food but not as much as Carrefour.

Third, Casino group, presenting in various entities like Casino petit, Leader price. In fact Monoprix is one of Casino group as well but I would like to distinguish this group from Monoprix which does not aim at only food retailer. You can find the cheapest price by rummaging products labeled by a picture of yellow cartoonish banknote. According to my experience, quality is very low. Hence, next solution may be right for you.

Last but not least, Audi shop, not selling Cars! I am rather satisfied with this shop if wanna buy food. Price is very very cheap as compared to Carrefour. If you would like to secure your monthly expense, this is the right choice meeting your need. Audi, I'm your fan! lol
