The same shop exists in the Netherlands.
I remember however that you sometimes had to be carefull, since the price
tags are without VAT. But it's true that a lot of stuff is a lot cheaper.
Mainly due to the bulk packages. (25kg of washing powder at Macro is cheaper
than 5 times 5kg of washing powder in the Albert Hein.)
