>>>         usually the term discount shop refers to shops selling food        “from the pallet”, i.e. a smaller selection and less laborious        presentation, tending to bigger packages, for a cheaper price.

Nowadays also        typically sell occasionally selected non-food stuff according to        the season (like tools, clothing, toys, even electronics like 1        laptop or 1 phone), but usually only from 2-3 boxes, it does not        take significant space.

But there are also a lot of    supermarkets (Aldi etc) with this tag, as well as drug stores and    hardware stores it seems (I had to guess from the name where I did    not recognize it).
