Israel is known as “Start Up Nation” due to its many innovative ideas that remain ahead of its time; it even applies to freshness standards at local supermarkets. In addition, some innovative supermarkets such as Tiv Taam and Amar 1+1 provide incentives such as vouchers and discounts during certain periods throughout the year.
Tel Aviv also boasts a wide array of outdoor markets where customers can find numerous traditional dishes hailing from Eastern Europe, Morocco or Iraq. One can find great selection at shuk Hatikva market in south Tel Aviv near Levinsky Park – but locals tend prefer Carmel Market located in center city area for fresher products at lower prices.
When choosing a supermarket in Tel Aviv, customers should always remember that each store offers different services and values such as starter kit packages available on every store that aims on helping newcomers making their first steps towards integration into Israeli society.
