You get Aldi and Lidl in Holland as well. Unlike over here, where they are quite often on the edge of a town (near us anyway) in Holland they are often in the shopping centres in the towns. Haven't seen a Netto over there. I've had a quick look for Lidl in Apeldoorn, and there are 3, 1 in the centre almost, 1 on the northern part and 1 in the southern part, link: http://www.lidl.nl/nl/home.nsf/pages/c.service.s.sts.index
When you get to that page, just input the postcode where you are staying (same word in Dutch) or next to 'Plaats', input the name of the town and it will show where the Lidl's are.
As for the likes of Asda and Morrisons etc, there aren't the huge supermarkets like you get over here. The main ones are C1000, which are bigger, but not an awful lot, than Aldi and Lidl, Albert Heijn, the same applies to them. You'll get shopping centres with all sorts of shops including the above, you don't tend to get the huge out-of-town supermarkets like you get over here.
The Hema is on the lines of Woolworths, sells a bit of everything, Kruidvat is like our Superdrug. Zeeman is a bit like a poundshop, although not all articles are 1 Euor, some cost a bit more, but they sell all kinds. All these you will find within shopping centres in towns.

IMHO the best Dutch supermarket is C1000.
There are 2 in Apeldoorn....
| C1000 Huiskamp |
| Schapendoesweg 2 |
| 7312 EC APELDOORN |
and
| C1000 de Mheen Bredewout B.V. |
| Korianderplein 61 |
|
7322 NB APELDOORN
They have butchers departments too with delicious meat at good prices. The butchers make burgers, schnitzels etc to their own recipe. They always have fab bread too!
Some things are not as cheap as Aldi and Lidl but quality is great.
You could also try Super De boer. Again with butchers but a little more expensive.
Adding to Inas list - Blokker is also kind of like woolies and Wibra is similar to Zeeman... cheap and chearfull.
But the best of all the Dutch stores? Vlaai shops. Check them out here. Seriously yummy !
Apeldoorn is lovely and has a good shopping centre. Have a fab time

Ah yes, forgot about Blokker, great shops to have a browse, sell all kinds, toys, glassware, crockery, cutlery, all sorts of household goods.
One other thing about some of the supermarkets and shops in Holland: a lot of them tend to round prices up or down. If the total is, say, 23.68 Euros, then you will be charged 23.70, so it is rounded up, if it is, say, 14.52, you will pay 14.50, rounded down. Just thought I'd mention that as I have never noticed that done anywhere in France. Must be typical Dutch!

not just supermarkets - several shops do it as well - they just don't seem to like tiddly cents - can come as a shock - you stand like a lemon waiting for fiddly bits of change
