Food is one of the major expenses when traveling and you would be well adviced to shop where it is least expensive.
If you plan to travel from Reykjavík with a car it would be smart to start by shopping for food in a food chain store called Bónus or Krónan. You won't find a cheaper solution! These chain stores can be found in the following towns:
- Bónus:
Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Mosfellsbær, Ísafjörður, Akureyri, Selfoss, Borgarnes, Egtilsstaðir, Reykjanesbær, Hveragerði, Stykkishólmur. - Krónan:
Reykjavík, Mosfellsbær, Selfoss, Reyðarfjörður, Vestmannaeyjar.
Fjarðarkaup is a supermarket in Hafnarfjördur - low cost (although not as cheap as Bónus/Krónan) but offers very good service and selection.
