If you like books and school supplies, they got'em. If you want electronics or kitchen gadgets, they got'em. How about garden tools or lawn furniture, got'em. Wine by the bottle, jug, or tap... got it! Meals to go, fish for frying, cheeses galore... got it! This is one of my favorite stores. My only issue is that if I go in for one or two things I come out with twenty. It can be a one stop shopping experiencing or you could blow your budget. A couple tips... If you decide to do the self checkout make sure to keep your receipt handy. You will need the bar code on the receipt to get out of the electric swinging bar. Also, if you bring your own bags you won't have to pay extra to use theirs.

I had been to an Auchan on my first trip to Europe back in 2001, and I had always remembered it as a supermarket-style chain (which for sure it is), but this specific store felt more like a Target or Walmart than a pure supermarket. They had electronics, housewares, and other items that I don't typically associate with a grocery store. Anyhow, the only weird thing is that (like many European stores), they are quite strict about how to enter and exit -- they have little gates specifically made to control the flow of traffic in to and out of the store.

Also, you need a euro to get a basket, so make sure you have change. But you get it back when you return your cart. We were able to pick up some groceries and other household necessities. They have a big selection of food, including frozen food. There's also a section for toys and kids clothes.

There's only street parking on a one way street. So, it might be a little tricky to get a spot, but it would be worth the walk if you have to park further away. Make sure to go into the side room. They have all kinds of chocolates and even large, plush, stuffed animals. Totally worth the visit to this spot. You will be hard pressed to not walk away with something.

The next day we would transfer to the Venice Cruise Terminal to board the Norwegian Jade for an adventure that would lead us to Dubrovnik (Croatia), Athens, Izmir Turkey, Split (Croatia) and back. Adult beverages can be expensive on a Cruise Ship, so Erin, Jim, Gayle, and I decided that we should stop at a local grocery store and stock on wine. A little cheese and bread for the room would also be a good idea. So we walked over to this Punto Market and stocked up for a total of 2 cases at very reasonable prices. For the most part, the wine was all good, or at least good enough. We were warned in the Norwegian literature that there would be a per-bottle corkage fee for anything we brought on board. It was also a lot of weight to schlep around. Yet, the economics were still in our favour and we wanted the convenience of enjoying a glass of wine in our rooms or on our small deck overlooking the water. We didn't hide our purchases either. Yet, no bottle count or corkage fees occurred. That turned out to be a double bargain. So here's our toast to the Punto Simply Market that helped make our Cruise so enjoyable.
