On Sundays they are open until noon. Customers should bring their own bags to the grocery store. For sweet baked goods go to an ice cream shop. These shops sell cakes and cookies for take-out. Butcher shops sell fresh chicken, pork, beef, and processed meats such as sausages and salami.
Fish is purchased at a special fish market, often located near the town's fresh food market.
A new trend is the superstore located in major shopping areas. Bags are provided. It is still possible to visit small specialty shops like the bread shop, the meat shop, etc. Romanians generally buy bread and dairy products daily even if they go to the superstores for bulk items on weekends. Cash is the norm everywhere.
