Are you looking for something with a Wal-mart feel but Tesco just doesn't do it for you? A bit off the beaten path in the north of Plzen you can find Globus. (Bus #30, 33, or 39 to either Kosutka Krasovska or directly to Globus, either next to last or last stop).
You can find literally everything you need there. There is a small pharmacy, bakery, meat shop, tobacco shop, pet store, furniture store, cobbler, cafe, and dress shop, as well as a cafeteria with good cheap Czech food.
What to buy: From chains for the tires to fresh baked bread to new socks and undies.
What to pay: Less than small private shops.

Everything from glass flasks to hand made leather shoes. Every weekend the open square in front of Sv. Bartolomeje's church turns into a bazaar. Local craftsmen, as well as Plzen retailers, put up tents full of glass, ceramic, wood and leather goods. Some of it is kitchy/touristy/souveniery, but you can get your hands on a good find. It's also a great place to peaple watch.

Plzen has a beautiful main square with old houses and a church in the middle. It could be visited as a day trip from Prague.
