Shopping was an adventure. They do have many American brands here in the local stores. It’s amazing how the human mind looks for the familiar when you are in a different environment. It’s like you gravitate towards what you know, your comfort zone.
Our sponsor took us shopping at a local grocery store that is connected to our local mall, the Sadyba mall. The Cat in the Hat's colleague, took us to the larger markets. These types of stores are called hypermarkets and they have everything you could possibly need to buy. They resemble Target/Walmart Supercenters that have grocery stores within. All these stores accept credit/debit cards. Smaller local stores accept cash only. Aside from American goods which may be a bit pricier, other items are really cheap. My grocery bill was cut in half.
It took us about 3 hours to complete our shopping, doing our best to figure out what different products were. Pictures helped! We were exhausted after that outing.
