Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
It was REALLY crowded there today (like Black Friday at any store in the states).
We were crazy enough to go, just to look around and buy a few things. It's very nice!

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Jumbo carries a variety of items imported from Germany (chocolates, pickles, cookies) that you won't find at Lider. At Easter and Christmas they bring really lovely (to look at and to eat) foil-wrapped chocolates.
Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Do they treat workers better than Lider?

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Yes, to me it seems like Jumbo has German products, Tottus has UK (Tesco) and Asian, and Lider of course American stuff.

I buy UK peanut butter there. They have some European things but not so many.scandinavian wrote:Yes, to me it seems like Jumbo has German products, Tottus has UK (Tesco) and Asian, and Lider of course American stuff.

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Lider also carries stuff from Mexico, Peru.
There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn't true;
the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
I found vaccum-packed corn tortillas in the Jumbo at Portal La Dehesa last week - very exciting! Funny how in the midst of all this doom and gloom in the news, the opening of a new supermarket can evoke such excitement! Yay for the small things in life, long may they give us joy!
