Is it just me or is supermarket shopping in other countries so much fun? I always end up with a haul! I shop at Aldi and Lidl every week here in the UK. I shopped at Penny and Netto as well in my last trip to Germany and they were so fun

I'm 31 years old and have lived in Germany all my life. Idk why I watched this lmao but I did enjoy it. I knew there was a difference between the types of stores but never really consciously thought about it and wouldn't have been able to tell you why they were different if asked, so I guess I did learn something new.

I can almost smell that unique scent in the air of a German supermarket, when watching this. That's something that can't be conveyed in a video, unfortunately, because it's very nostalgic for me. A mixture I can't quite describe, with cheese to washing powder scents in the mix. I lived for years in Germany and it was so good to go back virtually with you, to remind me of what I've missed for a number of years now! So thanks so much for the memories. Looking around was the next best thing!

Thats a good video. Btw you dont need to rush the check out at a grocery store. Especially in the discount stores its meant that you put your shopping cart to the end and just put everything back into the cart. There are usually small tables or something where you can pack your goods with all the time you need or take the cart to your car if you came with one. There are even garbage bins for if you want to remove the packaging. But almost nobody uses that ;D. I did it just 2 or 3 times when i didnt have enough space. Everyone rushes it because they are in a hurry or want to be as efficient as possible or something. Thats a german thing. Often people dont use a cart and pack it directly into their back pack or their bags. But dont let this intimidate you.

Edeka and Rewe actually aren’t „chains“. They are all private, individually owned shops who can (more or less) chose their own product selections. Those owners unite their shops in a joint venture under the „roof“ of Rewe and Edeka to buy their stuff in big bulks instead of every shop owner has to negotiate all the prices with the food or non-food industry by themselves. That’s why you find a huge variety there including many local products. Aldi and Lidl for example are real chains, all having the same set of articles, promotions etc. That’s at least my knowledge. Correct me if I‘m wrong 🙂

Well, that´s not exactly correct ... Edeka actually does have its "own" stores but it is a small minority among the Edeka branded ones and a lot more non-Edeka branded stores belong to them: Netto (Edeka´s discount division). Just be a ware there´s exists another "Netto" branded discount supermarket chain (different logo !) not connected with Edeka which is owned by a Danish company - but only in Northern/Eastern Germany - ... and there´s Marktkauf (Edeka´s Hypermarket brand - none of those are franchises)

Well yes and no. Originally that is correct, but today both have taken over other chains that didn't operate the franchise system. Here in Schleswig-Holstein for example, Rewe took over Sky, one of the largest players here (they were far bigger here than Rewe before). Now they are all Rewe but these Rewes are not franchise operated. I liked Sky, ours lost the meat and cheese counter converting over to Rewe :(

Oh thank you for this video! I absolutely love German supermarkets, they are the best I´ve ever been, great selection of everything and it´s tasty! When you were talking about discount supermarkets saying how messy they are and limited food selection and that you need to go after them to another supermarket since you cant find everything there, it reminded me so much of Danish supermarkets. 90% of them are this way, where you often cant find ricotta e.g, only 3 choices of yoghurts or sometimes no lactose free milk, so then you need to go to another one.. which is super sad for me, since I love supermarkets! 🥲 Edeka in Rostock I´ve been was so big, that felt almost like a museum 😀

What can also be found in every medium-sized city are larger shopping centers, where all of the shops described can also be found and other retail outlets for non-food items. In some areas there are shopping villages where there are mainly high-end brands. For example, the Wertheim Village. What I found funny in the video is the reference to the best frozen pizza, and I can only confirm the rating. No one else will come into the house ;-))

You can get access to Metro without a business. You have to register at the front and state your purpose to do so. Takes a bit of time, but if you only do this occasionally it is alright. Very useful for party supplies. Also, if you run a registered Verein, you can get a membership through that too. They even put up a restriction during Corona. People without a member card were restrticted to shopping only food items. So no more getting any non-food items for families during those times.

Lol this brought back great memories. Mundane in a sense, maybe, since there are not a ton of differences compared to how supermarkets work in my country, and we have LIDL and Aldi now as well, but something about mentioning every specific (going thru every brand from Rewe & Edeka to DM, Rossmann, Müller) felt cozy hahaha. I love Maultaschen! i lived in Munich for 5 months and i got them pretty often, they are surprisingly tasty. I used to eat Frikadellen with pasta and tomato sauce often as well, and since I was in Munich, the Händlmaier sweet mustard (with boiled white sausages) was really good. If there's a thing that I think is "missing" for the video is mentioning Pfand lol that was sth interesting to me to get the hang of. I knew about it bc i had visited Germany before but it really became part of my routine, I think I still keep an unused Pfand voucher from the Netto just below my student flat as a souvenir in my receipts album.

hello erica, yes your video is a year online right now in end of september 2024.... please keep in mind that a frozen machine made pizza will never ever (!!) reach the taste of a fresh handmade pizza from a restaurant. 😇🥰 all arround of bit a larger bus and train stations or shopping places are some "pizza shops" they maybe try to pretend as there where some but they are definitive not. It´s hard to find a really good italian reataurant right here in germany. if you are a bit skilled make your own yeast dough and do it topping by yourself. this outperforms every machine pizza, believe me. please don´t call "back shops" as a bakery. sure some have a good provider but if you will go into a real bakery with hand made bread you´ll definitivly taste the different. and yes, they are mostly expensive: quality comes at a price.

These bottles also caused some of the users in those groups to get creative and come up with some cool designs on them or they create bottle caps used for different purposes (oil, salt shaker etc) . I love Maultaschen but I've never had a fresh one despite of having lived in Germany half of my life...Which city do you live in?

As a supermarket worker, I agree with all. For more Infos and questions, please ask me here. Nutella IS Italian. But yeah, quite common in Germany also. Gustavo pizza... Naaaah, nothing to different to Dr. Oekter pizza. I'm Italian, the "real" pizza is complete different. (but I love the freezer pizza as well) NO ONE can visit real. No more. It's close for ever. I visit sometimes, one my ex colleague worked there. That's it. It was quite big. Sometimes, more than a kaufland. With more selection of Lego! (and games. But who care. Lego is Lego) You said netto and Norma. Right. But... Norma is considered not good (never was there so I cannot confirm) Netto... There is two type. The most common is the red/yellow one, as you said "the discount of Edeka". Right. But exist another one, more little, called also netto. This one have a kind of black dog like logo and colours are yellow and black. Always called "netto black" (for the last one) and "netto Red" (or yellow. For the "Edeka discount). Attention please, they are COMPLETE different chain. Also the card points are different. Another little correction... You show the timing in your city. But please, consider that exist more than that. I have a rewe supermarket (where I started to work, just for info) behind my flat. 7:00-23:30 6 days in the week. My second rewe, now unlucky closed for ever, was open (read good!) from 7:00 of Monday until 23:30 of SATURDAY. Yes, you read good. NO STOP IN THE NIGHT during the week. You could enter at 2/3/4 AM and buy all. (now there is another one like that, in Schönefeld) In all Berlin exist SEVEN supermarket ALWAYS OPEN, every Sunday of the year. I can say you the exactly list, if someone need it. Open at the "second day of Christmas and easter" as well. As I said, for more Infos ask me. I work in this sectors from years, and I'm a expat so I can understand all your shocks/problems

Metro-like stores are not for the public. Those are wholesalers only for retailers and business owners. The membership results from the fact that you have an official business like a company or store in order to become a member. They check it before they accept a member. The document that an applicant needs to provide is called Gewerbenachweis, business license in English.

Barely anyone eats it (at least I don't know anyone who eats it) We eat chocolate cream (or hazelnut cream to be correct) It sounds stupid, but the LIDL clothes collections are sold out very quickly and then sold on Kleinanzeigen (People collect this stuff) Germany has one of the most complex trash systems and the biggest recycle system in the world. We don't just separate into recycable, the separate the recycable into categories too. There is basically no product in Germany, that uses no recycled materials What also comes into play for german food is, that european law forbids anything artificial in anything that can be ingested. Food and drinks are forced to be all natural. Our normal products are what US citizens call Bio. Bio for a german is on another level, it got so many laws it has to follow Germany has the most bread in the world with over 3000 different bread recipes registered at the bread office (yes, we have an own government office just for bread) however, Toast (The square stuff you put in the toaster) is not considered bread in Germany Rewe is stopping their collaboration with Payback to the end of 2023.

When you mentioned prepared foods you said "Most of the options are more to desire for". I think what you were going for was "Most of the options leave a lot to be desired". Of course I think most native English speakers would understand what you meant, so it's really no big deal...

@@helloerika You are very welcome. Your video brought back a lot of memories for me. I grew up in America and my first trip abroad was to Germany when I was in high school. I still remember the stern-looking women at the registers in markets whipping the items down the counter, and me trying to grab them because the next person's items were already coming at me...

Interesting, when I think about it, there seem to be more Pennys than Aldis in my city (I can think of 3 just in the city, while only of 1 Aldi in the city and another one in a village a few kilometres from town. And a 3rd one next to another village). And I actually do like them (although I go to Aldi for the most part, as it's the the nearest discounter for me - plus there's also a real next to it, which is nice whenever I need/want something I can't get at Aldi).

The ALDI In America Kicks Walmarts BUTT! In Price Comparison! I Am Selective Regarding The Food Quality, But It Is My GO TO When I Really Need To Save Cash And Time! I Should Also Point Out That I Live 600 Feet (*182 Meters) From My Front Door To Aldi! LOL. I Can Literally Walk There Pick Up One to Three Items, Check Out And Be Back Home in 12 Minutes! LOVE IT! *Thank You KZbinrs And People That Comment When Your Metric Measurements And Weights Into Our Imperial System WE APPRECIATE THAT! If We Always Did That For the Other EVETUALLY AMERICANS WOULD LEARN IT! BUT WE ARE LAZY AND SET IN OUT WAYS! LOL! It Just NEVER Caught On Here. I Was IN The Public School System When They TRIED THEIR BEST To Get Us To Learn It. Didnt Work LOL! Chao Bello!

the reason you haven't been able to visit real is because they closed down completely a year ago (ours is an Edeka now). I'm still sad about this, it was special to me as a kid xD

also - Netto also exists with black and yellow branding, that's the cheap version of it. popular in east germany... :D (I also own the Lidl christmas sweater, it's awesome. I got some stuff from their limited edition 50 years collection too. which was almost completely sold out hours after becoming available. many people are nuts about grocery stores, apparently xD)

I would not agree that Germany has the most limited opening hours in Europe. 1. Opening hours vary from store to store and from federal state to federal state and 2. Austria is even more conservative when it comes to opening hours than conservative Bavaria, for example.

What's a baby wine? Alcohol for kids? Is there actually a difference in the price of comparable basic ingredients like Milk, Eggs, Wheat Groats, Ground Beef and such, or do the expensive stores offer more luxury items in addition? The packing is fast always. The register clerks work every day and have learned the moves. Self checkouts avoid that problem.

Maultaschen is a Swabian dish and even as a part of Swabia is part of Bavaria nowadays, I wouldn't call Maultaschen a Bavarian invention.

Hm, you´re walking on very thin ice telling us Maultaschen originate in Bavaria ...😱😱😱 They originate from Schwaben (Swabia) - a region that is only a tiny fraction of today´s state of Bavaria but Schwaben is primarily part of the Baden-Wuerttemberg state and the true origin of Maultaschen lies in the Badeb-Wuerttemberg part.🤓- Sorry, couldn´t resist nit picking🤫

You are not supposed to PACK your groceries at the check out counter - you can’t keep up with the speed of the cashier…. just put it back in your cart und pack it at the often provided packing tables.

I wonder what it says about me (or the absolute success of the franchise's marketing over three decades of my life) that the thing which made me most hungry in this whole video was the brief shot of McDonald's (those fries!). But that pizza looked fantastic also. Anyway, just liking this video didn't feel like enough, and I'm already subscribed with notifications so I although I initially felt too tired to comment, I wrote this anyway in hopes that the number goes up and that makes the algorithm promote this video to more people and promote more videos like this to me. Keep up the great work because this stuff is so interesting and well-made!
