What this Saldanha branch is like
This is one branch of Continente, a Portuguese chain, sitting on Avenida Defensores Chaves in Saldanha, a short walk from São Sebastião station. It is a full-range supermarket rather than a corner shop: a large floor, a bakery area, self-service checkouts, a Wells concession, parking on site and two entrances, so you can cut through from one street to the other.
The things worth carrying home are the olive oil and the wine, both sold at reduced prices; staff will point you to a particular brand if you cannot find it on the shelf. Fresh produce includes whole and half Galia melons, and the fruit and vegetables are a reasonable buy when the stock is good.
The layout takes a little getting used to. Restocking trolleys sometimes block the aisle you are trying to reach. Self-checkout is there and works, but the queues at the staffed tills build up when the store is busy.
Prices are a reason to come here rather than a tourist shop: the same products that cost a fortune near the main sights are cheaper here, and a basket lands somewhere between €10 and €30. Cards, cash and Visa debit and electron are all taken. If you are flying out, this is a sensible last stop for oil and wine before the airport.
Come for the parking, the full shelves and the evening hours, and expect a busy till.

Who is this for
This suits a traveler staying in Saldanha who wants a proper supermarket with parking and a full range within a short walk of São Sebastião station. It also works for anyone flying out of Lisbon who wants olive oil and wine at reduced prices to carry home. And it is a practical stop for a self-catering stay that needs a Sunday evening shop before 9 pm.
If you want fresh fish and seafood from the people selling it rather than a supermarket aisle, 31 of January Market on Rua Engenheiro Vieira da Silva is about 300 m away.
The verdict
It is a busy neighbourhood supermarket rather than a calm one, with queues at the tills, but it still suits anyone in Saldanha who needs a full range, parking and a 9 pm close.
