Opening hours<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nYou should know that almost all shops are open on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, the opening hours of the shops are distributed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday \u2013 Wednesday: 10am \u2013 6pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday-Friday: 10am \u2013 9pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday-Sunday: 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, pharmacies are open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you can find medicines there, but not only that: personal care, hygiene, cleaning products, makeup, you can even develop photos there, buy a snack or even post a letter (yes, the post offices are in these stores).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supermarkets or small grocery stores are open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., 7 days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The repairers (called " mini markets <\/em>" Or " the local arab<\/em> \u00bb in France), are as its name indicates a place that can help out. You can buy beer, cigarettes, chips, sweets there. They are everywhere. They are often open until 11 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter this time they can no longer sell alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Speaking of alcohol, here, unlike in France, you cannot buy it in supermarkets when you go shopping.<\/strong> .<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In fact, we stock up on wine, spirits and liqueurs at the SAQ<\/em> (Quebec Alcohol Society<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are SAQ Express stores open until 10 p.m. every evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the flavors, there is something for everyone. It's very simple, easy to spot, there is always a queue in front of this store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
3) RESTAURANTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- Given the price of bottles of wine in Quebec, restaurants are increasingly offering the possibility ofbring your bottle of wine<\/strong> when you come to eat. In fact, the prices in restaurants are even higher than when buying them at the SAQ, so the options " has<\/em>bring your wine<\/em> \u00bb are quite common and more economical.<\/li>
- The dishes are much bigger than our portions in Europe<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It's very simple, a Small menu here will correspond to a meal for 3 people very often. We can therefore ask for Doggy Bags at the end of the meal in order to bring the leftovers of your meal barely started often at home (no waste)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
4) TELEPHONE\/INTERNET PACKAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou'll find out soon enough when you arrive, but phone plans (or cell phones as they are called) here are exorbitant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are far from the Free packages at 2 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This expense item takes up a portion of your monthly budget that should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, for a 6GB package, I pay more than 55 $ per month including taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plans do not offer much higher GB options<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not everything is unlimited like most of our packages in France<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So hang on. Here again there is a monopoly of 2 large telephone companies Videotron and Bell, so no competition with low cost packages possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Internet can be expensive too, but if you search carefully you can try to find reasonable subscriptions (even better if you arrive living in a shared apartment, it won't take much of your monthly budget).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small anthology of the consumption system in Montreal. 1) MONEY Expect to spend your time calculating the final price to pay at the checkout all the time. In fact, taxes are never included in any price in the store. Count 15% of taxes (TPS = 5% and TVQ = 9.975%) To this, add the tip or "tips" in many services. In restaurants, the standard is to add a tip of 15% on average in addition to taxes (that is, 30% more than the amount indicated on the card!). In fact, some employees have very low salaries and are paid with tips. For other jobs, it is not always clear. It is said that in a bar we give 1$ per drink, we add tips to personal service professions like hairdressers, massage therapists etc. Taxis, on average 1 to 2 $ Often in cafes, there will always be a small tip jar in front of the cash register. Indeed for a takeaway service there is no obligation to tip, because we are not talking about real "service" Payment methods Cash or cash = in cash Debit or Interac = debit card Credit = credit card Yes in Quebec, we have 2 cards. Here the culture pushes towards consumption and these credit cards are double-edged. You pay on it with money that you do not have but that you must repay (or at least a minimum amount to not have interest within 21 days). No overdraft authorized here but this system of purchasing on credit which the French are a little afraid of. We will tend not to spend thousands and hundreds with it or to reimburse quickly to get back to 0. 2) SHOPS Opening hours You should know that almost all shops are open on Sundays. In general, the hours of the shops are distributed as follows: Monday - Wednesday: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Thursday - Friday: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Saturday-Sunday: 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. However, pharmacies are open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 days a week.

Supermarkets or small grocery stores are open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 7 days a week. Convenience stores (called "superettes" or "l'arabe du coin" in France), are, as the name suggests, a place that can help out. You can buy beer, cigarettes, chips, candy there. There are some everywhere. They are often open until 11 p.m. After this hour they can no longer sell alcohol. Speaking of alcohol, here, unlike in France, you cannot buy it in supermarkets while shopping. In fact, you stock up on wine, spirits and liqueurs at the SAQ (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Alcools du Qu\u00e9bec). There are SAQ Express stores open until 10 p.m. every evening. Moreover, with the legalization of cannabis, the SQDC has a storefront in several locations in the city to obtain it. All flavors, there is something for everyone. It's very simple, easy to spot there is always a queue in front of this sign. 3) RESTAURANTS Given the price of bottles of wine in Quebec, restaurants are increasingly offering the possibility of bringing your own bottle of wine when you come to eat. In fact, restaurant prices are even higher than buying them at the SAQ, so the "bring your own wine" options are quite common and more economical. The dishes are much larger than our portions in Europe. It's very simple, a Small menu here will often correspond to a meal for 3 people.

Comptez 15% de taxes (TPS = 5% et TVQ= 9,975%) \u00c0 cela, ajouter le pourboire ou \u00ab tips \u00bb dans bien des services En restauration obligatoirement la norme est d’ajouter un pourboire de 15% en moyenne en plus des taxes (soit 30% de plus que le montant indiqu\u00e9 sur la carte!). En effet certains employ\u00e9s ont de tr\u00e8s faibles salaires et sont r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s avec les pourboires Pour les autres m\u00e9tiers ce n’est pas toujours clair . On dit que dans un bar on donne 1$ par verre , on ajoute des pourboires aux m\u00e9tiers de services \u00e0 la personne comme les coiffeurs, massoth\u00e9rapeutes etc Les taxis , en moyenne 1 \u00e0 2 $ Souvent dans les caf\u00e9s , il y aura toujours un petit pot \u00e0 pourboire devant la caisse . En effet pour un service \u00e0 emporter il n’y a pas d’obligation de pourboire, car on ne parle de vrai \u00abservice \u00bb Modes de paiements Cash ou comptant = en esp\u00e8ces D\u00e9bit ou Interac = carte de d\u00e9bit Cr\u00e9dit = carte de cr\u00e9dit Eh oui au Qu\u00e9bec, on a 2 cartes. Ici la culture pousse \u00e0 la consommation et ces cartes de cr\u00e9dit sont \u00e0 double tranchant . Tu payes dessus avec de l’argent que tu n’as pas mais qu’il faut rembourser (ou du moins un montant minimum pour ne pas avoir d’int\u00e9r\u00eats sous 21 jours). Pas de d\u00e9couvert autoris\u00e9 ici mais ce syst\u00e8me d’achat \u00e0 cr\u00e9dit dont les fran\u00e7ais on est un peu craintifs la dessus . On aura tendance \u00e0 ne pas d\u00e9penser des mille et des cent avec ou \u00e0 rembourser vite pour se remettre \u00e0 0. 2) COMMERCES Heures d’ouverture Il faut savoir que presque tous les commerces sont ouverts le dimanche En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral les horaires des commerces sont r\u00e9partis comme tel : Lundi – mercredi : 10h-18h Jeudi- vendredi : 10h – 21h Samedi-Dimanche : 11h -17h Toutefois les pharmacies , elles sont ouvertes de 9h \u00e0 22h 7j\/7 Tu peux donc y trouver bien sur des m\u00e9dicaments mais pas que : soins personnels, hygi\u00e8ne, produits de nettoyage, maquillage, tu peux m\u00eame y d\u00e9velopper des photos , acheter un snack ou encore poster une lettre (eh oui les postes se trouvent dans ces enseignes). Les supermarch\u00e9s ou petites \u00e9piceries sont ouvertes de 8h \u00e0 23h 7j\/7 Les d\u00e9panneurs (appel\u00e9s \u00ab sup\u00e9rettes \u00bb ou \u00ab l’arabe du coin \u00bb en France) , sont comme son nom l’indique un endroit qui peut d\u00e9panner . On peut y acheter de la bi\u00e8re , des cigarettes, des chips, bonbons . Il y en a un peu partout .Ils sont ouverts souvent jusqu’\u00e0 23h Pass\u00e9e cette heure ci ils ne peuvent plus vendre d’alcool En parlant d’alcool , ici \u00e0 la diff\u00e9rence de la France on ne peut en acheter en supermarch\u00e9s en faisant ses courses . En effet, on fait ses r\u00e9serves de vin, spiritueux et liqueurs \u00e0 la SAQ (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Alcools du Qu\u00e9bec) Il existe des SAQ Express ouvertes jusqu’\u00e0 22h tous les soirs D’ailleurs avec la l\u00e9galisation du cannabis , la SQDC a pignon sur rue dans plusieurs localisations de la ville afin de s’en procurer . Tous les parfums, il y en a pour tous les gouts.C’est bien simple, facile \u00e0 rep\u00e9rer il y a toujours une file d’attente devant cette enseigne. 3) RESTAURANTS Vu les prix des bouteilles de vin au Qu\u00e9bec, les restaurants proposent de plus en plus la possibilit\u00e9 d’apporter ta bouteille de vin lorsque tu viens manger. En effet les prix en restaurant sont encore plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s qu’en les achetant \u00e0 la SAQ, donc les options \u00ab apporte ton vin \u00bb sont assez communs et plus \u00e9conomique . Les plats sont beaucoup plus gros que nos parts en Europe C’est bien simple un menu Small ici correspondra \u00e0 un repas pour 3 personnes bien souvent . On peut donc demander des Doggy Bag \u00e0 la fin du repas afin d’amener les restes de ton repas \u00e0 peine entam\u00e9 souvent du coup chez toi (pas de gaspillage) 4) FORFAITS TELEPHONIE\/INTERNET Vous le d\u00e9couvrirez bien assez t\u00f4t \u00e0 votre arriv\u00e9e, mais ici les forfaits t\u00e9l\u00e9phone (ou cellulaires le terme utilis\u00e9 ici) sont exorbitants On est loin des forfaits Free \u00e0 2 euros . Ce poste de d\u00e9penses prend une part de votre budget mensuel \u00e0 ne pas n\u00e9gliger A titre d’exemple, pour un forfait 6Go, je paye plus de 55 $ par mois taxes incluses. Les forfaits ne proposent pas d’options de Go beaucoup plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es Tout n’est pas illimit\u00e9 comme la plupart de nos forfaits en France Donc accrochez vous. L\u00e0 encore il y a un monopole de 2 grandes compagnies de t\u00e9l\u00e9phonie Vid\u00e9otron et Bell , donc pas de concurrence avec des forfaits low cost possibles . Internet peut \u00eatre cher aussi mais en fouillant bien tu peux essayer de te trouver des abonnements raisonnables (encore mieux si tu arrives en vivant en coloc, cela ne te prendra pas beaucoup de ton budget mensuel. En r\u00e9sum\u00e9 Ce qui co\u00fbte plus cher ici : Le vin Le fromage Les transports en avion Les forfaits tel\/internet Ce qui co\u00fbte moins cher : L’\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 L’essence L’eau est gratuite\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/en\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"A Girl Next Door\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/julie.lemoigne.526\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/julie.lemoigne.526\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-08-12T09:41:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-09-08T22:57:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/money-256281_1920.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"700\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"463\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Julie LE MOIGNE\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Julie LE MOIGNE\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Julie LE MOIGNE\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/bd41129301df7e672adff5f8092242dc\"},\"headline\":\"Mode de consommation au Qu\u00e9bec\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-08-12T09:41:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-09-08T22:57:18+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":897,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/09\\\/money-256281_1920.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"consommation\",\"Expatriation\",\"montr\u00e9al\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Vie Expat\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/a-girl-next-door.com\\\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\\\/\",\"name\":\"Mode de consommation au Qu\u00e9bec -

Pas de d\u00e9couvert autoris\u00e9 ici mais ce syst\u00e8me d’achat \u00e0 cr\u00e9dit dont les fran\u00e7ais on est un peu craintifs la dessus . On aura tendance \u00e0 ne pas d\u00e9penser des mille et des cent avec ou \u00e0 rembourser vite pour se remettre \u00e0 0. 2) COMMERCES Heures d’ouverture Il faut savoir que presque tous les commerces sont ouverts le dimanche En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral les horaires des commerces sont r\u00e9partis comme tel : Lundi – mercredi : 10h-18h Jeudi- vendredi : 10h – 21h Samedi-Dimanche : 11h -17h Toutefois les pharmacies , elles sont ouvertes de 9h \u00e0 22h 7j\/7 Tu peux donc y trouver bien sur des m\u00e9dicaments mais pas que : soins personnels, hygi\u00e8ne, produits de nettoyage, maquillage, tu peux m\u00eame y d\u00e9velopper des photos , acheter un snack ou encore poster une lettre (eh oui les postes se trouvent dans ces enseignes). Les supermarch\u00e9s ou petites \u00e9piceries sont ouvertes de 8h \u00e0 23h 7j\/7 Les d\u00e9panneurs (appel\u00e9s \u00ab sup\u00e9rettes \u00bb ou \u00ab l’arabe du coin \u00bb en France) , sont comme son nom l’indique un endroit qui peut d\u00e9panner . On peut y acheter de la bi\u00e8re , des cigarettes, des chips, bonbons . Il y en a un peu partout .Ils sont ouverts souvent jusqu’\u00e0 23h Pass\u00e9e cette heure ci ils ne peuvent plus vendre d’alcool En parlant d’alcool , ici \u00e0 la diff\u00e9rence de la France on ne peut en acheter en supermarch\u00e9s en faisant ses courses . En effet, on fait ses r\u00e9serves de vin, spiritueux et liqueurs \u00e0 la SAQ (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Alcools du Qu\u00e9bec) Il existe des SAQ Express ouvertes jusqu’\u00e0 22h tous les soirs D’ailleurs avec la l\u00e9galisation du cannabis , la SQDC a pignon sur rue dans plusieurs localisations de la ville afin de s’en procurer . Tous les parfums, il y en a pour tous les gouts.C’est bien simple, facile \u00e0 rep\u00e9rer il y a toujours une file d’attente devant cette enseigne. 3) RESTAURANTS Vu les prix des bouteilles de vin au Qu\u00e9bec, les restaurants proposent de plus en plus la possibilit\u00e9 d’apporter ta bouteille de vin lorsque tu viens manger. En effet les prix en restaurant sont encore plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s qu’en les achetant \u00e0 la SAQ, donc les options \u00ab apporte ton vin \u00bb sont assez communs et plus \u00e9conomique . Les plats sont beaucoup plus gros que nos parts en Europe C’est bien simple un menu Small ici correspondra \u00e0 un repas pour 3 personnes bien souvent . On peut donc demander des Doggy Bag \u00e0 la fin du repas afin d’amener les restes de ton repas \u00e0 peine entam\u00e9 souvent du coup chez toi (pas de gaspillage) 4) FORFAITS TELEPHONIE\/INTERNET Vous le d\u00e9couvrirez bien assez t\u00f4t \u00e0 votre arriv\u00e9e, mais ici les forfaits t\u00e9l\u00e9phone (ou cellulaires le terme utilis\u00e9 ici) sont exorbitants On est loin des forfaits Free \u00e0 2 euros . Ce poste de d\u00e9penses prend une part de votre budget mensuel \u00e0 ne pas n\u00e9gliger A titre d’exemple, pour un forfait 6Go, je paye plus de 55 $ par mois taxes incluses. Les forfaits ne proposent pas d’options de Go beaucoup plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es Tout n’est pas illimit\u00e9 comme la plupart de nos forfaits en France Donc accrochez vous. L\u00e0 encore il y a un monopole de 2 grandes compagnies de t\u00e9l\u00e9phonie Vid\u00e9otron et Bell , donc pas de concurrence avec des forfaits low cost possibles . Internet peut \u00eatre cher aussi mais en fouillant bien tu peux essayer de te trouver des abonnements raisonnables (encore mieux si tu arrives en vivant en coloc, cela ne te prendra pas beaucoup de ton budget mensuel. En r\u00e9sum\u00e9 Ce qui co\u00fbte plus cher ici : Le vin Le fromage Les transports en avion Les forfaits tel\/internet Ce qui co\u00fbte moins cher : L’\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 L’essence L’eau est gratuite","og_url":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/en\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/","og_site_name":"A Girl Next Door","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/julie.lemoigne.526\/","article_author":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/julie.lemoigne.526\/","article_published_time":"2021-08-12T09:41:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-09-08T22:57:18+00:00","og_image":[{"width":700,"height":463,"url":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/money-256281_1920.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Julie LE MOIGNE","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Julie LE MOIGNE","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/"},"author":{"name":"Julie LE MOIGNE","@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/#\/schema\/person\/bd41129301df7e672adff5f8092242dc"},"headline":"Mode de consommation au Qu\u00e9bec","datePublished":"2021-08-12T09:41:00+00:00","dateModified":"2021-09-08T22:57:18+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/"},"wordCount":897,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/money-256281_1920.jpg","keywords":["consommation","Expatriation","montr\u00e9al"],"articleSection":["Vie Expat"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/","url":"https:\/\/a-girl-next-door.com\/mode-de-consommation-au-quebec\/","name":"Consumption patterns in Quebec -
