Took a walk down to Kvickly Supermarket today. Probably 6-7 blocks away, along Amager Boulevard (kind of the main street for Amager). Our guidebook says it is somewhat like a Super Walmart. I don't think I'd put it quite that way, but it did have a very large selection similar to a Super Walmart. The focus was mostly on food though, and then clothes/electronics/etc were added on to that.
Bought a shaver, headset for making phone calls, and two loafs of bread for DKK 491.90. About $82. The MOMS tax (25% valued added tax) was DKK 98.38 of that. So $16.39 of the $82 was tax.
The exchange rate is about $1 = 6 DKK. So I'm getting very good at dividing by 6 to get the cost in dollars. Yet another reason why your kids should learn those multiplication tables Mom. :)

Ouch on the tax.
Sister
So gald to hear that you finally figured how to get in and out of that store. But you can't survive on bread alone - "Man cannot live on bread alone" ! Oh, I forgot you have PEANUT BUTTER!! YEAH!! Maybe you can find some jam to go with it?!
My friend, who spent a year in Norway, said you'll soon get over that dividing by 6 and just realize that when you need to have it, what the heck, you buy it. Hope the money is holding out! :)
