From the 2024 Paperjam Expat Guide comes “the gamut,” a simplified spread of items on a particular theme. Up today: supermarkets, from cost-friendly to fancy.

Aldi

Aldi is Aldi. There are 12,000 of them worldwide, 18 in Luxembourg. If you’d rather spend less, this is the spot.

Delhaize

Belgian chain with great selection of Belgian (duh) beers. Everything you need for your weekly shop.

See also: Auchan, Alima, Leclerc, Colruyt

Honourable mention: Foodbox

Not a supermarket but worth a mention nonetheless. Foodbox will deliver boxes of ingredients, with recipes, to your home. Choose from “classic,” “veggie,” “gluten-free” and other options.

Cactus

Equal parts supermarket, department store and national treasure. Luxembourgers shop at Cactus because (many will tell you) it is, simply and assuredly, the best.

Naturata

Responsibly sourced bio food and drink as well as eco-friendly cleaning products. Great selection of baby food and fancy nut butters.
