This Fix Price Moscow guide covers a Russian discount variety chain, founded in 2007, whose small stores sell household goods, cosmetics, stationery, books, gifts and some food and drinks at low prices that are shown on tags in a few price levels. It is not a supermarket: you go there for small things, not for a full grocery shop.
For a visitor, a Fix Price is a cheap place to replace a forgotten item, buy small gifts, stationery or souvenirs, and pick up snacks and hygiene items. Signs and tags are in Russian, and payment needs some planning, so this page explains what the stores sell, typical hours, how the pricing works, and how to find a branch.

Why Visit Fix Price?
Fix Price is useful for small, cheap, practical purchases. A typical store sells household items, home decor, stationery, books, toys, gifts, cosmetics and hygiene products and a corner of snacks and drinks, which makes it a quick stop if you forgot a toiletry, need a notebook, a phone accessory, an umbrella-type item or a small present.
The prices are low, and the chain’s fixed-price idea means that many items sit on a few price levels, though prices have risen with inflation and not every item is at one price now. Stores are in residential districts, malls and some central streets, and their size is small, so a visit is short. They are also a window onto everyday Russian shopping for non-food items.
Highlights of Fix Price
Small gifts and souvenir-style items
Shelves of decorations, mugs, candles, small toys and seasonal and holiday goods make cheap, light gifts. They are not traditional souvenirs, but items such as tea sets, notebooks, magnets and decorations can work as simple presents. Check that packaging is intact and look at the tag for the price level, since many items are sold at a few set prices.
Tip: Look for the seasonal section near the entrance, which changes with holidays.
Stationery and books
The range includes notebooks, pens, folders, art supplies and some books, useful if you need writing materials or a gift for a child. Look at the stationery aisle for pens and pads at low prices, and check the language of any book, since most are in Russian. The quality is basic but acceptable for short-term use.
Tip: Buy simple notebooks and pens here rather than in a tourist shop, where they cost more.
Cosmetics and hygiene products
Stores stock shampoo, soap, toothpaste, creams and personal care items, which helps if you left something at home. The brands are mostly Russian and low-priced, and the labels are in Russian, so use a translation app for the ingredients. This is not a pharmacy, so medicines are sold elsewhere.
Tip: Check the expiry dates on creams and cosmetics, which are printed on the pack.
Household goods and travel basics
The household aisles hold kitchen items, containers, cleaning products, light bulbs, batteries and small tools. They are useful if you are staying in an apartment and need a bottle opener, a cup or a sponge. Look for items sold in sets at one price, and check batteries and electrical items for suitability with your own devices.
Tip: If you rent an apartment, check the kitchen aisle for basics before your first night.
Snacks and drinks
A corner of the store sells biscuits, sweets, chocolates, tea, coffee and soft drinks, which is a cheap place to buy a snack or a small gift of Russian sweets. The range is smaller than in a supermarket, and fresh food such as bread and dairy is not the focus, so use a grocery chain for that. Check dates on the packages.
Tip: For fresh food and water in bulk, go to a supermarket chain instead.
Seasonal and holiday goods
Before major holidays the stores fill with decorations, gift wrap and festive items, and in summer with garden and beach goods. The seasonal aisle is a good place for cheap decorations or a small gift for a host. The goods change quickly, so buy what you want when you see it.
Tip: Seasonal items sell out near the holiday, so buy early if you want a particular one.
Atmosphere
A Fix Price store is small and brightly lit, with narrow aisles, hanging racks and shelves piled with colorful goods in neat rows. The mood is quick and practical, with locals dropping in for a cheap household item or a small gift and moving along the shelves with baskets.
The busiest hours are the early evening and weekend afternoons, while mornings are calmer. Signs and price tags are in Russian only, so a translation app helps, and staff rarely speak English. Some stores sit on the ground floor of apartment blocks, others on an upper floor of a shopping center, so the entrance can be easy to miss.
History of Fix Price
The first Fix Price store opened in Moscow in December 2007, founded by businessmen Sergei Lomakin and Artem Khachatryan, who had earlier founded the Kopeyka chain. The idea was a variety store with most goods at a few low fixed prices, inspired by the dollar-store model.
The chain grew quickly across Russia, reaching 3,000 stores in 2019 with the 3,000th opened in Moscow, and listed on the London and Moscow exchanges in 2021. It later added stores in neighboring countries such as Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Uzbekistan, and the company reported about 7,500 stores in mid-2025.
The pricing has changed over time: the company introduced new price levels in the early 2020s as inflation rose, so today the prices are set at several levels, and not every item is at the same price. The head office is in Moscow, and the number of stores changes, so check the official site for current figures.
Tickets and Booking for Fix Price
Payment. Cash in rubles is the safe option. Foreign Visa and Mastercard cards are reported not to work in Russia, and whether another card works depends on the issuer, so check this before you travel; your country’s sanctions rules may also restrict some payment services, and you must check this yourself. Russian Mir cards and local apps are common but are not for foreign visitors in general.
At the till. Stores usually have a staffed till, and some have self-service machines with a Russian interface. Carrier bags are usually sold at the till, so bring your own bag.
Alcohol. Whether a given store sells alcohol was not verified, and shops in Russia are reported not to sell alcohol between 23:00 and 08:00; check the current rules.
Finding a store. Use the store locator on the official site fix-price.com or the app, both in Russian, or search a map app for the brand name.
How to Get to Fix Price
Fix Price is a chain, so there is no single address. Stores are found in residential districts, on main streets and in shopping centers across Moscow, often within a few minutes of a Metro station.
- Find the nearest store: use the locator on the official site or the app, or search a map service for the brand name.
- Example branches: map listings show stores on Marksistskaya Street 3с1, 2nd Filyovskaya Street 6 and 3rd Samotyochny Lane 11с1, with closing times of 21:00 or 21:30.
- Malls: some stores are on an upper floor of a shopping center, so check the floor.
Accessibility
Stores are small, with narrow aisles and hanging racks, and some are on an upper floor of a mall or have steps at the door. Layouts vary by location and accessibility is not uniform across the chain, so check a specific store or ask on the spot if you need step-free access.
Food Nearby
The chain sells packaged snacks and drinks but is not a place for a meal. Near most stores you will find small cafes and bakeries typical of the district; for supermarket groceries see Pyaterochka, Perekrestok and VkusVill, and for sit-down Russian dishes see the Moscow Food Tour: Russian Cuisine and Local Specialties itinerary.
What to Bring
Bring cash in rubles, your own bag and a phone with a translation app for labels and tags. Keep your valuables close, and check the dates on cosmetics and food.
Photography Rules
Taking photographs of the shelves for yourself is generally fine, but do not photograph staff or other customers, and follow any signs in the store. Flash and tripods are not appropriate in a small shop, and staff may ask you to stop.
Family Suitability
Suitable for families for small purchases such as stationery, toys and snacks, and children usually enjoy the colorful shelves. Aisles are narrow and some stores have steps or an upper-floor entrance, so strollers can be awkward. Check the age labels on toys and the dates on food.
Moscow Vibes Tips
- Look at the price tag for the price level, since many items sit on a few set prices, but not every item is at one price.
- Use Fix Price for stationery, small gifts and household items, and a supermarket for food, since the food range is small.
- Check the dates on cosmetics, sweets and drinks, which are printed on the pack.
- Look for the seasonal section near the entrance before major holidays, and buy early since items sell out.
- Check the store hours, since many close at about 21:00, earlier than the large supermarkets.
- Carry small bills and your own bag, since bags are sold separately.
Where to Find Fix Price in Moscow
Fix Price has branches across the city, so there is no single address to list. To find the closest one, search on Yandex Maps or Google Maps from your hotel or metro station.

How we research and update our guides
About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
