Food Shopping
Luxembourg does not have many 24-hour shopping centers and restrictive shopping hours can make buying essentials difficult. Luckily, there is a large selection of fresh, organic products.
A one or two euro coin is need to use the large shopping carts (it will be returned at the end of your trip). Vegetables and fruits will often need to be weighed at the produce section. Organic products are known as Bio and may include sodas, baked goods, meats, vegetables, and fruit.
Cactus, Alima and the Cooperative are all Luxembourgish-owned stores. Delhaize, Match, Auchan, Aldi, and Lidl are foreign owned, but adequate grocery stores.
