Stuff, stuff and stuff
Veljekset Keskinen Tavarapuoti is a combination of a huge department and discount store, located in middle of nowhere in Botnia region in Finland. They sell more than most of the other markets and department stores located in big cities, and people flock the place during usually quiet Sunday evenings.

There are both well-known brands and then almost anonymous items that are just bought in with inexpensive prices. The idea is similar to IKEA: you don’t really need anything, you don’t really buy much anything and at the counter you find out that you have to pay at least 100 euros. But compared to other places, you have saved a lot… Or at least you can use this as an excuse to buy stuff that you really don’t need.
The store is a little bit too crammed to be enjoyable shopping experience — they seemed to run out of space. This situation should change when the build the new Tavarapuoti next to the new food market.
