[/caption]Co.op Mart is a common supermarket, stocked with everything you need, from fresh produce and dairy to clothes and household appliances. Their private label is SGC and it's 3% to 20% cheaper than other similar goods in the store. The supermarket lays on two floors: the ground floor houses the fresh produce, processed food, personal/home care, and household appliances departments, while at the first floor you can find the apparel department, plus a small food court.
I didn't like the place very much, but I will probably go there again soon. It reminded me of the old communist shops in Eastern Europe (packed and a bit smelly), though this is much larger and better supplied. You can find most of the things you need here and for a fixed price. I can't say whether this is the cheapest one in town or not, since I can't compare it with any other supermarket in the city yet, but here are some sample prices:
Laundry detergent (3 kilos) - 66,000 VND
Raid insect repellent - 54,000 VND
Cream cheese - 28,800 VND
Tofu - 8,200 VND/roll
Vinamilk (1 l) - 30,200 VND
Eggs (1o pieces) - 22,000 - 32,000 VND
Quail eggs (30 pieces) - 20,800 VND
Seedless guavas (1 kilo) - 10,500 VND
Canola oil (1 l) - 46,900 VND
Carrots - 14,700 VND
Squashes - 5,200 VND
Baby bananas (1 kilo) - 13,000 VND
Mangosteens (1 kilo) - 25,000 VND
Potatoes (1 kilo) - 9,200 VND
Zucchini (1 kilo) - 7,900 VND
Lotus tea (20 bags) - 21,000 VND
Instant Pho - 3.300 - 4,300 VND
Sensodyne toothpaste and toothbrush - 28,700 VND :)
Tweezers - 16,900 VND
Ha Noi beer (can) - 8,700 VND
Tiger beer (can) - 10,700 VND

To me, it's not expensive at all. Take into account the fact that $1 = 21.000 VND - so... this is heaven. But the household appliances I've seen there were not very cheap. I think the best option when going shopping for your household is visiting a big market, such as An Dong or Binh Thai in District 5. Co.op Mart is good for buying fresh produce and processed food, as well as toiletries and house care products.
