Prague - Post Report Question and Answers

How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?

There are several chains of stores throughout the city, including Albert, Tesco, Kaufland, Marks & Spencer, to name a few. U.S. products can be hard to find, but similar products under foreign labels can be found - the grocery stores offer quite a selection. - Dec 2015


If you search you can find anything you want, perhaps with a foreign name, but the same actual product. Go to Makro and it will cost about the same as US prices. Most people shop in the small neighborhood markets, which have limited choices and higher prices but are more convenient. Go to Tesco, Alberts, Bili and pay less. If you can buy/store in bulk, Makro is a wonderland. - Aug 2011


Widely available, there is a Tesco, Carrefour, and several other large supermarkets. Prices are rising, especially if you get paid in US dollars. - Jan 2008
