Denmark, imho, has the worst grocery stores of all Western European countries. I'm comparing an average supermarket not some organic high-end. I find grocery shopping usually pleasurable, Netto makes get out asap.
Even the high-end supermarkets in Denmark suck, but it makes sense, it's all the same three chains, COOP, Salling Group or Dagrofa.
I read somewhere that Denmark is the country with the highest food prices in Europe, but we also spend the least on food. That's just a winning combination right there.
I struggle to understand why. Is it tariffs or some sort of farmer protectionism lobbying like Switzerland? Switzerland, one of the most expensive countries, has pretty decent grocery price.
Neighbour Sweden has pretty great prices for that latitude.
