Christmas gifts, New Year’s parties, drinks here, drinks there… December has been an expensive month for many Zoetermeer residents. Partly thanks to the many, luxurious food. Do you want to pay attention to your expenses in the coming period, but not to fun? Then here are some tips to get cheap but also healthy food.

Roadside stalls

As a Zoetermeer you may be inclined to stay in the city and do your shopping there. You can, but you can also take a bike and explore the areas around Zoetermeer. There you will find stalls along the road in some places where you can buy vegetables, potatoes or eggs, for example. A few addresses you can go to are:

  • Fresh eggs from the chicken farmer at Middelweg 1 (between Zoetermeer and Stompwijk).
  • Verswinkel G. vd Kooy, Slootweg 10 in Benthuizen.
  • Various dairy farms and cheese farms in and around Zoetermeer.

  • Super fun to do: Here in the Zoetermeer area you can buy cheese from the farmer

    Cheese in thick slices on bread, cheese fondue or a tasty cheese board with a glass of port or red wine. If you…

Farm shops

You will find stalls next to the road, but if you don’t quite find the right products there, you can also go to nearby farm shops. These are sometimes within cycling distance, sometimes a little further. How about Landwinkel Sonneveld at Bentwoudlaan 2 in Benthuizen or Groenteboerderij Millenaar at Katwijkerlaan 46 in Pijnacker. All close to our city!

Too Good To Go

Eating out is usually not cheap. But food from a restaurant does not have to be expensive. How about that? Restaurants that have leftover meals can offer it for a lower price on the Too Good To Go app. Some supermarkets or other Zoetermeer shops are also participating. The dishes or products listed on Too Good To Go are often added at the end of the day and usually have to be eaten the same day. Ideal if you want to eat something tasty, but don’t want to spend a lot.

Market

It may be a bit obvious, but certainly no less true. You can also often get fresh fruit and vegetables at the market for a lower price. In Zoetermeer there is a market on Tuesdays in Oosterheem, on Fridays in Rokkeveen and on Saturdays on the Marseillepad next to the Stadshart.

Survivors

Since a few months you can get so-called Overblijvers at (almost) all Albert Heijn stores. This is already possible in Zoetermeer. Albert Heijn’s Leftovers are products that remain at the end of the day and have an approaching expiration date or are discontinued.

In the AH app you can see which packages are available. You can then reserve it and pick it up at the end of the day at the store for an affordable price. You can choose from packages such as Surprise, Vegetarian, Bakery (Love & Passion loaves, donuts and bake-off loaves). Yesterday’s bread and the Waste-me-not bag will soon also be part of the AH Overblijvers.
