Big Market is one of the largest and most budget-friendly supermarkets in Vlora for big shopping.

But if you want to visit several stores in one day and find the lowest prices, renting a car for 3–5 days is the easiest way.

Many tourists and expats save 20–30% on groceries this way.

To save the most on food, choose accommodation with a kitchen. Cooking with Big Market products then costs 10–15 € per day for two instead of 20–30 € eating out.
