Groceries

There is a small convenience store close to the house (10/11)
but it is VERY expensive. We would therefore recommend
to buy food at the bigger grocery stores at
Fiskislóð.
Bónus, Krónan and Netto are located there. There are
multi-use grocery bags in baskets at the entrance.

There are 3 waste compartments under the sink in the kitchen, one for general waste, one for paper and one for plastic. This responds to the garbage bins in the street below. The Key Chip allows access to the Waste bins.
