During Erasmus, I think it is very important to adjust the economy and spend money on your main priorities with balanced spending. You can deprive yourself of the opportunity to see a new city or a country, instead of eating unplanned, buying new things you don't really need, or getting things you'll never look at. Personally, my priority was to make the maximum number of trips with the money I had. Its quality did not concern me much, it was to see many places that interest me. So I tried to eat strictly planned and I was afraid of all unnecessary expenses.
Anyway, let's come to the main point: First of all, the markets that I will share are common brands across Portugal, so it is not specific to Guimarães.
Bolama: This market is smaller than other markets and some products are cheaper than other markets. However, this does not mean that “a product sold in bolama cannot be found cheaper in other markets”. I write by generalization. For example, if I buy eggs, I always bought them from bolama because there were big differences compared to others. You can follow this by buying different products from all markets.
After a certain period of time, you will have already figured out what you should get from where.
Summary of this market: You cannot find everything you are looking for, but you will get some typical products cheaper than other markets.
Pingo Doce: A market where I usually buy meat, fruits and vegetables, bread and pastries.
Summary of this market: You will find most of the things you are looking for and their prices are not different from other markets.
Continente: This market is located in the Guimarães Shopping center. It is huge, the prices are like any other and you will find everything you are looking for.
In addition, if you are going to do a collective shopping, you can go to this market with your friends and do your shopping, then take a taxi and go to your accommodation to avoid the transportation problem. Shopping will become an exhausting activity after a certain period of time, as you are constantly walking in Guimarães.
There are two big shopping malls I know in Guimarães. One is Guimarães Shopping Center and the other is Espaço Guimarães. It is possible to find anything you want here. Since Espaço Guimarães is far from the center, buses from the center bring it for free. If you want to go, Espaço Guimarães is written on the buses.
Finally, there is a large Decathlon in Guimarães. You can go by taxi for three or four people, 6 km from the center. We went on foot. Here you can find everything related to sports.

If you want to shop outside of Guimarães, the first place I would suggest you go is Braga. You can buy very cheap things for clothing and technology from shopping centers in Braga.
