The morning we visited Carl Nielsen museum we bought some fruits from the flea market in front of the museum (pic 1) but the one in front of the Town Hall was even better with lots of cheeses, jam etc We had some great sandwiches there.
One day we bought some food from the open market in front of the Town Hall but most of the times we need something for a picnic on the park we used the Super Spar Market (pic 2) that is located at Norregade 63, just 3’ away from the train station.
alcohol is expensive in Denmark but even during the concert at the park we saw one evening we noticed that most of the locals carrying bags with beers that they have already bought from the market.

Not much shopping for us in Odense except some souvenirs near H.C.Andersen museum, you will see the store at the main pedestrian street a few meters away from the museums. They have all the typical souvenirs (magnets, cups, hats, bags etc) and a lot of books with Andersen’s fairytales, same books that we saw at museum’s gift shop (same prices also) where we liked many of them (good quality, colorful pages) but the prices were out of our budget…
Some nice souvenirs we also found at the Iron Age Village where the lady at the tickets creates necklace, bracelet etc (pic 3)

Odense is the major town on the island Fynen and makes for a nice shopping day. You should certainly be able to find a gift to take home. I saw many fashion shops, bookstores, chocolate shops, liquor stores, etc. There's a pedestrian area (main shopping street is Vestergade.

Superbrugsen is part of the national Brugsen chain, which is one of the middelrange supermarkets, meaning that the price level here is above that found in discount supermarkets. However the variety of goods is also bigger, and the standard generally higher. The shop is located at the intersection between Vestergade and Kongensgade (approx 30 meters west of the intersection to be precise)
Opening hours are quite extensive (in danish standards): mon-fri 10-22, saturday 10-17 and sometimes also opened sundays.
What to buy: Most daily commodities can be bought here

Clothes for kids, men and women (many different brands)
Shoes
Bags

Food and flowers
Sporting goods
