365Discount has replaced Fakta as the Coop discount store in Denmark, but other than the name and re-fitting of some of the stores, it's very much the same! Other than special offers, it is almost on pare with the other Coop stores - which has a much greater selection of products - when it comes to pricing. Paired that with my feeling that Coop own brand products are inferior to own brand products from the likes of Føtex, LIDL and Rema1000 - who all are very competitive on prices compared with all Coop stores and brands, then it is probably no surprise that I only use 365Discount on the odd occasion that they have very special offers - or my wife want a special puppet seed rye bread only sold by COOP.

That said, if you shop on Sunday, you will often find a lot of "yellow sticker offers", typically found on products which are close to their "last...
Read moreGenerelt rigtig god og med et fornuftigt udvalg af det meste. Det meste af personalet er rigtig godt, men det evige problem med de unge ansatte, som de fleste små steder er ramt af, er en aura af ugidelighed, ligegyldighed og mangel på service. En ung teenager var der for at hjælpe en dag.. Ham skulle de have holdt ude på lageret. En fin lille sætning at lære alle nye, hvis der bliver stillet dem et spørgsmål de ikke ved svaret på: det ved jeg desværre ikke, men nu skal jeg hente en der kan hjælpe. Dette siges med et smil, og så tages der desuden handling for at finde ud af hvad svaret er, så man ved det til næste gang. En irriteret teenager, sender mig direkte til...
