How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
Local groceries have excellent produce and most of whatever else you're looking for. Prices for produce are similar to the U.S., while other products tend to be higher. Consulate and military personnel have access to the commissary at the nearby army base. - Aug 2015
In this way it is very American here. With a car you can get to large supermarkets with everything you could need as well as dry cleaners, etc., at the same location. I don't find it more expensive to run the house than in DC. In the center there are many small grocery stores and lovely local shops for all your needs. - Sep 2007
