Shopping in Russia

Yud

Hello dear members,

I guess this could be an interesting topic. I invite all members in Russia (both locals & expats) to share their daily/weekly/monthly experience about shopping. You may also include some shopping tips/suggestions!

So can you please share with us:

>Where do you usually go for shopping?
(Shopping for basic products like Food, Vegetables, Meat)

>What are your favorite shopping malls/complex or boutique?
(Where you usually go to relax or to buy your clothing stuffs, shoes and other shopping related products!)

Awaiting for your contribution ;)

Best Regards

For food Stockman or Okey

For clothes I fly to London as they are between 24% - 50% cheaper, shoes are 100% cheaper. If I have to buy something I shop in Galleria or Stockman.

For food I usually go to Okey or Stockman and to local markets.
If in SPb then my favorite local market is located near Sennaya metro station (you can just show to any russian this russian words and they will guide you: 屑械褌褉芯 小械薪薪邪褟, 锌褉芯写褍泻褌芯胁褘泄 褉褘薪芯泻), and there is always good choice of seasonal vegetables and fruits in a good price.
If in Moscow, then I go near to Cherkizovskaya metro (it is not that near actually but I like that bazaar which is called Victoria and situated at the end of the street behind the 啸笑 shopping center - 效械褉泻懈蟹芯胁褋泻邪褟 屑械褌褉芯, 褉褘薪芯泻 袙懈泻褌芯褉懈褟, 锌芯蟹邪写懈 啸笑). Here you can buy everything - fresh meat and fish (a lot of halal shops), vegetables, freshly baked bread from tandur. And yes, I like to have some BBQ from those small Azeri cafes :)
Also, time to time I buy some products (tea, some rare vegetables like karela, tofu cheese, and others) from a chinese shop (open till 6 pm only!) which is in a small shopping center which is just behind the Cherkizovskiy Shopping Center (屑邪谢械薪褜泻懈泄 褌芯褉谐芯胁褘泄 褑械薪褌褉, 泻芯褌芯褉褘泄 锌芯蟹邪写懈 孝笑 效械褉泻懈蟹芯胁褋泻懈泄) which is across the bridge from Cherkizovskaya metro station (you can take a mini-bus).
For the clothes I prefer to go to Helsinki, Finland. Otherwise if no time for going there I just take whatever my eyes will catch - anyways it is same expansive everywhere and I didn't discover any good place.
