The quality of food (and price) of grocery stores in France make grocery stores in Norway feel like a cruel joke. I visited a carrefour(?) in France and I swear the fruit and vegetables were so fresh they looked like wax stage food... honestly it was a highlight of my trip and selection of cheese made me feel a little unkultured.
Not compared to France :) you can buy a dishwasher a tv and stuff for your car all in the same supermarket...
Don't ask me why, just stating a fact
