SupermarketsThis is a featured page

ANJUNG-EUP
There are several. Generally, though, they are pretty much the same with limited choice. Home Mart behind the bus station is the nearest to GIFLE. C Mart is nearest to the Neulpuren Apartments and probably has the best overall selection. Other supermarkets include Nonghyup on the western edge of town, K-1 on the northwestern corner of town, and U-mart along the eastern edge. Small convenience stores, Family Marts and a 7-11 also dot the town. See maps for more info.

SURROUNDING AREA
There is an Emart near Pyeongtaek requiring bus and another bus/subway to get there (Jije). AK Plaza at Pyeongtaek Station has a grocery store in the basement, and there are multiple Costco stores in Seoul.

Emart is similar to Walmart or Fred Meyer in that it has a wide selection of different types of goods. For many basic goods, it's cheaper to buy items in Anjung, but if you need more options, Emart is a good place to start.

The AK Plaza is a midscale department store akin to Macy's with a supermarket in the basement. The supermarket has a small, but welcomed, international food section near the meat & kimchi departments. They sell western soups & sauces, condiments & candy (think Campbell's, Prego, dijon mustard, sauerkraut, Snickers). Their wine department also sells small blocks of cheese (cheddar, brie, gouda, fruit&nut) plus salami slices.

Costco stores require a membership for entrance and purchases. A member can generally bring one guest per trip. Keep in mind that you must pay with cash or use that specific branch's Costco-approved credit card company. For example, they don't accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, BC cards, foreign Costco credit cards, etc.
