I've been to this market. I stopped for snacks at the beginning of my trip and barely went to restaurants the rest of the trip. The produce was amazing. The bread was still warm when I grabbed a loaf. It was fantastic.
As someone who's been working in a supermarket in the UK for just over 32 years the level of plastic in Albert Heijn didn't seem any worse than the UK. But I can guarantee there will be lots of subtle changes to packages on products that people probably don't notice but all make a difference. The manufacturers of products are doing their bit. For eg you don't really see plastic straws anymore they are paper ones unless reusable. Disposable plastic cutlery is less common and that cutlery is usually wooden now. Johnsons Cotton Buds used to have a plastic top now its entirely a cardboard box. It could be simple change like the tag that is attached to a roll of gift wrap hangs to hang in on the shelf might change to card or be removed altogether and these products just sit on the shelf instead. More companies are bringing out refill versions of hand wash etc. You keep your bottle buy the refill that has 80% less plastic and refill it. Staff working in these stores everyday will notice those subtle changes.
I have traveled to more than 25 countries, but for me the Dutch supermarket is the best. The only stores that beat it are very up market and expensive stores in other countries, but never the regular ones. 'But what about the hypermarkets in other countries'? Well, they can be nice, but in the Netherlands you can usually buy all those non food products in the same shopping center anyway, it's just not behind one door.
food assortment in French hypermarché is quite a bit wider than in an Albert Heijn XL and same goes if you go a bit smaller in supermarket size. you got to go level 'small village Spar' supermarket to get less assortment, we beat Belgium in a few departments though ;)
I shop at a Albert here in Prague (not albert heijn, but it's owned by the same parent company), so I know most of these products really well. The store-brand products are like 1.5x more expensive here. Vegetables and fruits cost like 1.2x-1.5x more here. Prices for everything else seem comparable for almost everything even though the income levels are double in the NL. When I look up salaries in my field (IT - data warehouse stuff), I would earn ~30% more after tax and expenses in the Netherlands than here in Prague, even though rent prices are like triple and public transport here is almost free (yearly pass for everything is ~150 euro). This is going to make accepting a job offer in Amsterdam even more appealing in the future. Thanks for the vid.
My observation of NL is that while very few people think of the country as a source for "high cuisine", the basics of produce, bread, fish, and of course cheese is the best I've ever seen. Yes, AH will soon be converting many packages away from plastic. The Dutch love their cleanliness and neatness and of course AH reflects this, but it's not sustainable and many if not all packages will be replaced with a biodegradable or reusable replacement. Nice video!
AH has been called out for their individual packaging. So far it is still there. And yes, there are Albert Heijns that have a butcher and baker and even more.They used to have a number system that showed how big the store was and only the bigger ones would (and stillwill) have a baker, butcher and cheesemonger. Some even a fishmonger. Look for an Albert Heijn XL for those.
This video is from 2022. You can now use Visa card and Mastercard in Albert Heijn supermarkets in the Netherlands because Mastercard replaced Maestro cards with debit Mastercard in Europe in 2023.
Albert Heijn also has stores in America. There they are called Giant. Buying pre-cut vegetables etc. is easy. But they are 2 to 3 times more expensive. If there is a fish shop near you, I recommend that you buy your fish there. You can choose what or what you want it and determine your own weight. In the Netherlands we are not used to living on credit. Quite expensive also due to the high interest that is charged on it. And with your bank drawing you will also receive a debit card. Or you opt for internet (electronic) payment.
This is the ansser I would replay sorry. An addition to the credit card issue. When paying by credit card, the store owner must pay a commission on the amount paid, including all charges, to the credit company. In my case, 25 years ago, when I had a restaurant, it was 4%. The amount could add up. Paying with a bank card is a monthly amount plus 20 cents per order. Much more beneficial for store owners.
@@lenny.winter Meastro was the brand for Mastercard debitcards. All banks in the Netherlands issued their bankcards as Maestro debit cards. But Visa will soon enter the market with Visa debit Soon all payment terminals will be ready to accept Debit Mastercard (rebranded from Meastro) and Visa debit.
@@lenny.winter Soon Visa debit cards will also be accepted anywhere in the Netherland. Maestro cards will stop being issued after 2023. People will get Debit mastercard or Debit Visa cards to replace them. Banks are upgrading payment terminals and ATM machines to accept Visa debit and Mastercard debit cards already. Most payment terminals will not accept creditcards because the creditcard companies charge a lot more for that A debit card payment might be around 10 cents cost A creditcard payment might be 1%-3% of the payment value cost
It is not a Dutch debet card, I have no problem paying with my Italian debet card. Visa etc is more for holiday in the vs. Every where in the wold my debet card works fine.
For meat and fish like real parts u have to go to a butchery or fishmongers, on certain days u can buy fish, veggies,bread etc. From a real farmer it’s like a local outdoors market
@@dutchgamer842 F Reduction is talking about ocean fresh fish though and good deals on quantity of quality meat. a butcher is a best buy anywhere if there's one in your area
I would say it is both. I often grab a sandwich with hagelslag or pindakaas when I get the munchies in the middle of the night. Much better than chips and the likes
I live in Canada, and this is really not much difference pretty much the same kinds of products we have, but more selection. but those $1.10 croissants "ziet lekker uit" as one might say. I think that sushi is a bit over priced. we'd pay that here for the same portion, but in a restaurant - on the flipside though, the red meat prices are better than ours. we pay more for items like that. I've seen some cheese prices - what you'd get in Amsterdam beats the H.E.-Double Hockeysticks out of the tiny potion you would get here in Canada. I'm interested in that herring snack with the NL flag in it.
The sushi is almost as expensive as sushi from a sushi restaurant indeed. It is however really fresh sushi (it is made by a chef in the supermarket, and you can see them make it) and it is always made the same day you buy it. you can also get cheaper sushi at the same store for half the price, but they are durable sushi that you can eat the next one or two days aswell, but they are not nearly as good. The fresh sushi is close to restaurant sushi. The sushi you order for delivery or eat at a sushi place tends to be better still, but the Albert heijn fresh sushi is still one of my favorite things to bring in to work for late night / midday into evening -(14:00 to 22:00) or night (22:00 to 06:00) shifts.
When you scan your personal bonus card, it will link the itemized receipt to your account digitally as well. Not sure if they accept that for returns, but at least the information is kept 🙂
You skipped the “maaltijdsalades”, which imho is the thing AH is most famous for! It’s a cold lunch/dinner bowl (and there are many of them!). You weren’t able to pay with CC at normal checkout?
It is not entirely true that the AH does not sell spirits. There are AH's with a liquor store in them. From Gall and Gall. Also owned by AH. Just like Etos, is from AH.
Albert Heijn, Etos Gall&Gall are part of Ahold-Delhaize. Etos and Gall&Gall aren't owned by AH. Ahold used to mean Albert Heijn Holding, but they changed it. That Ahold became the owner of Albert Heijn, Etos and Gall&Gall
Albert Heijn also has stores in America. There they are called Giant. Buying pre-cut vegetables etc. is easy. But they are 2 to 3 times more expensive. If there is a fish shop near you, I recommend that you buy your fish there. You can choose what or what you want it and determine your own weight.

And then to think AH (Albert Heijn) is pretty much the most expensive supermarket chain in NL . Jumbo/aldi/dirk/lidl etc are all much cheaper. and they look the same (when it comes to being clean).

4:00 I've never seen a butcher or fishmonger in AH branches, not even in the 'mega big' ones which have a sushi-chef bar. But many AH's do have a bakery. In Turkish supermarkets I regularly see butchers (but not fishmongers). Fish is often sold outside, on the markets.
Dat is wel bekend, maar zij moet dan zeggen dat het voor hen een populaire snack is en niet voor Nederlanders. Welke Nederlander zou er nu op hagelslag gaan snacken? Niemand die ik ken doet dat, tenminste niet van mijn provincie 😅
It's not fine it tastes gross. Rather have just 1 bottle than several bottles of AH cola, better 1 bottle of great taste than sever for the same price that taste gross
I’m European and have never seen a maestro card, just normal debit cards. The fact that Albert Hijn doesn’t accept it is simply bad customer service and complacency. Maestro is an old technology relic and it’s being discontinued in June 2023 thankfully🎉

In most municipalities in The Netherlands plastic (PMD) is collected separately. We recycle almost everything. Glass, paper, cardboard, PMD (plastic metal cans and drink cartons), GFT (vegetable, fruit and garden waste), batteries and lightbulbs, clothes and last but not least we have the residual waste. I have four wheely bins, 1 for PMD, 1 for GFT, 1 for paper and cardboard and 1 for residual waste. The wheely bins are collected, the glass and textiles you need to bring to collection points in your neighborhood, batteries and lightbulbs are collected by shops selling them. Chemical waste, like kit tubes and paint buckets can be brought to the municipal waste center.
Plastic is not just bad. Theres a cut off point where keeping produce fresh and healthy for longer periods without the use of chemicals (in production and processing) and or food waste overtakes the negatives. Especially if plastics are recycled and or made of non petroleum based solutions. Which is more and more the case. Is there room for improvment? Hell yes. But it is not as clearcut as plastic=bad.

Especially if plastics are recycled and or made of non petroleum based solutions. Which is more and more the case. Is there room for improvment? Hell yes. But it is not as clearcut as plastic=bad.
