I know I have been skeptical toward second hand shops lately, but this place is a treasure trove!!…read more The first floor is reserved for big stuff as furnitures on the front and more delicate items on the back. You are dreaming of owning one of those old fashioned vases that used to adorn your grandmother's living room? You'd probably find it here. Also looking for Christmas album CD anno 1995 featuring WHAM and the likes? You'd also probably find it here. The big hit for me is on the second floor. Up the stairs and to the left they have very comfy designed library-lookalike with rows and rows books for sale with price tags showing fractions of what the original prices were. Books sold here are extremely in good condition, unlike in several "Antikvariet" I have been to, but there are obviously newer books too. To put it shortly, if you're about to give someone a book as a present from here, they wouldn't know if it's second hand and it's good for the whole saving environment stuff isn't it? Less trees to fell for your books. Next to the book room, there's the children articles occupying the space. Clothing, toys, you name it. On the right side of the upper room there is the second hand clothing area. They all look in very good condition, I guess The Red Cross is very good at vetting these clothing. I did a browse to see if there's anything I like. Alas, I'm quite picky when it comes to clothing. But hey, it's worth checking out, and when you need to give (Christmas) presents, this place is maybe worth to look at.

Nice things. Staff…read moremember forgot to give discount on couple items so I had to return to the store to get it corrected but they were very nice about it.

The staff are efficient, and I love the crow. It is very Vesterbro in a good way...a mix of young professionals, hipsters, families and some ''creative types''. The prices are still not be be beat and the location is perfect. I heard rumor this will be torn down when they build the new Carlsberg city, but I really hope it's not the case!

My sister and I first discovered Tiger in Reykjavik, but decided to refrain from buying anything…read moreand shop in Denmark, as Tiger is a Danish chain. We were ridiculously excited to shop at Tiger when we arrived in Copenhagen, and it did not disappoint. (I think Tiger was seriously the highlight of our time in Copenhagen.) Tiger is kind of a cross between a dollar store and IKEA. It is amazing. Prices are cheap, and the items aren't just cute, but functional too, as they have a variety of housewares. Due to luggage weight and size restrictions I couldn't buy a lot, but I did buy a few random bits and pieces. One of the items my sister and I bought were those pink luggage tags with the red heart (I'm sure everyone who's been in a Tiger store knows what I'm talking about). While waiting for our luggage at the airport we saw several suitcases sporting that tag, and figured that it must be a common item at some store. So when we saw them at Tiger, we each bought one, just for the sake of it. I wish there were a Tiger store in Vancouver!

Pros: - Cheap! - Notebooks are around 10-30DKK each - You can get your everyday stuff here: dishes, utensils, alarm clocks, etc... - Spices are sold in little packs Cons: - Material doesn't last long - I mean it's cheap so that makes up for it

The biggest Normal I've been to. There was some sort of instruction outside so it's kinda dirty and…read moreinconvenient, but the store is huge with two floor full of assortments from beauty/skincare products, personal care, baby products, food, etc. Great prices on everything. However, service at Normal was meh, staff wasn't really helpful when I had a hard time looking for some items.

I'm not sure that there's anything I really NEED to buy here, or that it saves me that much money…read more The concept is that the shopper benefits from lower priced (but still brand name) imported goods. Ok, maybe things are a few kroners cheaper, but if you're a smart shopper and get the sales at other places, this is pretty unnecessary. That said, I did enjoy the store. It ticks all my boxes for clean, bright, organized, and practical. The store has a "flow" which discourages you from shopping backwards. Most of the items sold are very mundane and practical things (detergent, toothpaste, etc), with a few random pieces of useless tat thrown in (mushroom-shaped loofah, euro print toilet paper). I think I will probably be back when I need items like travel-sized toiletries since there was a good selection and only 5 kr.

Ballerup Center is arguably the largest shopping mall of the area and whatever merchandise you're…read morelooking for, this is where you're most likely to find it. The selection of stores is broad and covers all price ranges. Unfortunately the layout of the place is rather confusing and not very customer friendly to the point where you start to wonder what the architect was smoking when they built it. There are map-posts at the escalators and other key locations though, which helps a lot. Parking is no issue since the entire roof is one large free parking area. Even during the busiest of times you'll have no problem finding a space for your precious vehicle. Time is limited to three hours and you must have a parking disc in the car set to the time of your arrival (if you don't have one you can pick one up for free at the center information desk). And whatever you do, don't forget that disc! The place is monitored by a very aggressive private parking company whose primary business model is handing out fines, and due to the size of the place they have a controller on site all day. At the time of writing the fine is 650 danish kroner. The center is conveniently situated right next to the Ballerup pedestrian street where you'll find further shopping opportunities, including some specialty stores and various banks. It's also an integral part of the Ballerup Train Station and you can basically grab an elevator directly to the platform. Another useful neighbour is the Ballerup Bus Station which you can reach by escalator from the mall. This is also where you'll find the library and the post office btw. The good: A wide variety of shopping opportunities, plenty of free parking, excellent connections to all modes of public transportation. The bad: Confusing layout, ugly, park-sharks are handing out stiff fines at the tiniest parking infraction.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabric here. Besides fabric, there are lots of…read moreknitting and crochet supplies, plus beads, felting, yarn, and sewing stuff. It's a bright, well-organized space and no one bugs you as you stroll the aisles for way too long. (Or maybe one could say that the workers didn't help you.) Either way, I found the crochet hook I needed and picked up some felting needles, too.

The Kroner is much…read morestronger compared to the dollar so I was worried about it being too much but even with the currency conversion this store is priced equally if not less expensive than boutique fabric stores in the States or other EU shops. I was really happy with the store layout and the amount of fabric choices. I'm used to 45 to 60 inch wide fabrics and these are long, maybe 4ft wide!! Priced by the meter I got 3 meters for 33$ about 205DKK, so it was about 9€ a meter, very reasonable!! Staff was friendly, lots of patterns, buttons, zippers, interfacing, fluff, yarn etc.
