The ultimate guide to German supermarkets

[@Scarlett.Granger]

"Milka is not cheap, just cheaper than Lindt" haha your German boyfriend making you issue an apology is so funny, because that was exactly my thoughts while watching😂

[@vomm]

At least it's cheap by quality. Milka is really overpriced, it has way too much sugar, uses artificial flavors, whey, ... it's basically the Hershey's of Germany, it's industrial crap

[@uyenninh]

He was so offended about that 😭😭

[@natviolen4021]

I was about to protest, too 😄 The ambiguity of the word cheap (inexpensive vs shabby) is much more pronounced in English than it is in German.

You can find readymade food such as wraps and sandwiches within German supermarkets, albeit the selection is definitely a lot smaller than what I've seen in other countries. Some of the Rewe supermarkets have a fresh sushi counter and there are of course deli counters with meat, fish and cheese etc. but if you're after a freshly-made sandwich, your best bet is going to be an actual bakery.

[@drsamthefrog]

@@hollievmilton Are they inexpensive? In the States, sometimes when we are on vacation in another part of the country we might stop at a grocery store because they have delicious, affordable and healthy sandwiches, salads and heat and eat meals. Thanks for your response!

[@catulusinferni8612]

If your teeth always hurt after chewing on something very sugary or sour, you probably just brush to harsh, us a brand of toothpaste that is not gentle enough or have a problem with the mineral shield of your teeth due to to much coffee, sweet drinks or grinding (maybe during the night). Try to see a dentist at least twice a year just to let them clean your teeth professionally. Let them also check the base of your teeth and your gums, because sometimes, your gums shrink after injury or due to softdrinks or coffee and leave the base of your teeth unprotected. This can cause pain and can be solved by treating the "pores" teeth have where the enamel is damaged or there was none to begin with (like at the base under the gum). Also use a toothpase that says "sensetive" on the package and maybe try out an ultrasonic toothbrush, they are good for people who tend to brush to hard. And maybe use elmex gelee once a week. This will protect your enamel and helps closing the pain causing open pores. If you grind your teeth, you can get a guard that is specially made to fit you teeth perfectly at the dentists. It will help reduce the stress on the enamel and also helpt with the pain in neck, jaw and head teeth-grinding can cause. I hope you will get better soon. I have issues with my teeth since I can remeber and it really comes down to 50% nature and 50% nuture, you only can do so much.

[@Scarlett.Granger]

Uyen, if you look for other parts of meat that are "unusual" in Germany, go directly to the butcher! At the "Metzger" they will usually have that stuff, and it's often rather cheap cause it's not so much used here! Try that rather than at the supermarket!

[@christianweth6104]

Came here to say the same. Stuff like kidneys, liver, brain or intestines is usually not sold in supermarkets. But any good butcher (Metzger, Fleischer...) will sell you at least liver. And if you preorder, you can get almost any part you wish for. Especially if you find a butcher, who slaughters in house (as most smaller butchers buy their meats from the slaughter house - but they can still fulfill your preorders most of the time).

[@laaaliiilu]

You can find them also in turkish supermarkets at the butchers section.

Uyen, if you want other parts of animals, especially those not sold in supermarkets (like bone cuts, etc.) go see a local butcher and ask them if they could sell you some (in some places of Germany they even sell those parts in bags as dog food, which is usually bones with scraps of meat on them, which are great as base for broth ;) ).

Important to everyone who wants to buy Federweißer/Federmost/New wine: only transport the bottles standing upright. They will leak if you lie them down because they're not fully closed. It's still fermenting while already being sold, that's why you should drink it fast.

[@FactoryofRedstone]

Also, do not close the bottles, the caps might not hold the pressure and will explode.

Ireland is similar to Germany with teas, chocolate, trolleys and bags, but the same alcohol here cost 3 to 4 times the amount in Germany.

I come from Czech Republic and spent 12 years in Germany. I always say that Germany has the best supermarkets. Compared to Czech Republic (and most other countries I've ever been to), German supermarkets have MUCH wider variety of products, these products are cheaper, there are more discounts and the quality of the groceries/the products is sooo much better. I always loved going grocery shopping in Germany and then when I came back to Czech Republic grocery shopping was always such a frustration. While in Germany, I would send a large box of groceries to my parents in Czech Republic about every 3 to 4 months because it was so much better and cheaper than the crap we have in Czech Republic. Germans have no idea what amazing supermarkets they have...oh and bakeries! Best bakeries in the world.

[@napoleonfeanor]

They also make worse products for ex communist countries but have the same branding

[@Claudia_K.]

My favourite supermarkets are in the UK. They have amazing food from “all over the world”, as they need to cater to a culturally wider market than in my neck of the woods (Eastern Germany). Here, it can be tricky to get Asian, African or even other European food.

Biscoff is Belgian, it's a type of cookie called speculaas (a close relative of spekulatius, just with more caramel). Go to a supermarket over there, and, as my German wife says, every snack will be speculaas flavored. 😂😂😂 Edit: their chocolate is also WAY less sweet than German or Swiss chocolate. And they have a German Boyfriend playpen--I mean, they usually have a good beer section!

[@thhseeking]

Ah...Belgian beer!! It's expensive here in Australia, so I'm saving the little bottle of Chimay Bleu in the fridge for the right moment :P

[@starlinguk]

Nooo, it's speculoos. Speculoos just has cinnamon, Spekulatius has different spices. It's called speculoos because it lacks those spices. The Belgians didn't have much of a spice trade, so using a bunch of spices was too expensive.

[@WantedVisual]

@@starlinguk My dude, I know which words I read in the supermarket. And, yeah, Belgium as a country had very, very little spice trade before 1830 or so, on account of it not existing. Belgian harbor cities, like Brugge and Antwerp, however, didn't really suffer from a lack of access to spices because of that.

actually MezzoMix is CocaCola + Fanta (not Orange Juice) - you can simply mix it by yourself, no clue why they sell it already mixed… 😅 And as a tip: if you have no coins for the Shopping cart, you can use special shopping-cart-coins from plastic/metal/wood that you can buy or get as merchandise gifts from different companies. Often the shops themselves have their own, just ask at the cashier at the cashpoint. You can keep the coin and use it again.

This was a wonderful video! I have now lived 1/3 of my life in Asia, a 1/3 of my life in Europe and 1/3 in the US and I love noting the difference in everyday activities. I am currently in the states and it annoys me when people are so slow checking out, whereas in Europe and Asia, you bring your own bags so while they are scanning your groceries, you’re putting them the into your bags. In the states they just stand and look at their phone. Slow. Annoying. After living on the West Coast in San Francisco, I got to know our Napa Valley wines and if you think that is a lot of wine choices, you should visit California! You are right about the sweets. I grew up without cakes and cookies, but we had biscuits and less sugary sweets. And you’re making this video before the holiday season so when the marzipan gets mixed in with everything… Watch out sugar rush! The trolley system is also better there. Here in the states, we actually have Locking mechanisms that lock the shopping cart when it crosses the parking lot line. Yes, the parking lots. In downtown cities we walk to get our groceries but it is shocking by comparison customers feel the need to drive to get groceries. Of course a major difference is that in Europe and Asia. We shop every day for different items and in the states they drive their big suv to a big store and pile in bags and bags and bags. One final note, as I spent a great deal of my childhood in India, I was a custom to a phenomenal assortment of teas and Europe does get great teas. Here in US, we actually import PK and Twinnings, but it is harder to find the other brands. Chocolates?? Oh, yes, Milka and Kinder and most others can be found in the US small markets if you know where to look. Fun trivia… When I was a child, I thought that Haribo was a Japanese brand because it sounds… Japanese. But Haribo is German, and it was named after the Inventure’s three children, using the first two letters of their names! Hence the Japanese sounding German name!? *_Much love from Seattle, Washington US. You are the best!_* 🎉

[@andreapeh2270]

It was really interesting to read your comment, thanks for this little tour through your experiences living in different countries! As usual on the internet, I feel the need to comment to correct something though :D The name Haribo does indeed have an origin that is based on the founder, but in a different way: It's short for "Hans Riegel Bonn". Hans Riegel is the founder's name and Bonn is the city it originated. I totally understand it is easy to mix stuff like that up, I myself can say I mainly know it because i study in Bonn xD Greetings fron Germany :)

[@marcosd4402]

I just learned today that haribo isn't japanese I also thought it was

[@kaitlynbell948]

I'd love a part 2 because it fascinates me to see the cultural differences! As always, I enjoy your content :)

[@6023barath]

As someone moving to Germany soon and had some usual nervousness, this video was somehow calming haha! Really amazed at all the diverse stuff! Also, how do they let you take away the entire Haribo box?! Part 2 please! 😂

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Choose one that is nearly empty and put some of your other small things inside when you put it on the cashier's belt. 😇

[@melody_shmelody]

Where are you moving from? We just visited my friend there and were able to find Almost everything we needed for some New Mexican food.

[@afternoonsunjeans9180]

i dont know why but cardbord boxes that arent in use can be taken with by the customer. it doesnt matter which product or what size. it doesnt even really matter whether they are really empty, u can just empty one yourself and then take it with. products are being delivered in them, so once they are empty they are getting thrown away anyway!

[@moniabolletta8923]

I don't know about Germany - but I think it works the same way - but in Italy many supermarkets make emptied boxes available to customers just outside the checkouts so that they can take them freely and thus transport their shopping. The supermarket profits by not having to dispose of the cardboard, and customers can take away their shopping without buying disposable bags (if they don't have their own plastic-coated canvas ones) and above all in a safer way, without the risk that the more delicate to break or ruin

[@evelineperko6685]

​@@afternoonsunjeans9180I think it's better if you ask first! Here it is recycled and in all probability they charge a lower price for the removal of paper/ cardboards!

[@beckyhobson3283]

YES! for the Biscoff cookies!! Got hooked on them while flying on Delta Airlines. Immediately went to the grocery store and bought them!!! Also, Haribo...here in the US, we only get the gummie bears, none of the other varieties. Also, YES to part 2. And then, you take us to the Asian grocery.

[@SethRGray]

That's not true at all. My local store, in a town of only 500, has Haribo many other kinds besides just the bears. My favorite is the raspberries.

[@Germanywithtripti101]

I come from India and live in Germany from last 4 years. I can totally relate with you about dissapointment on Chips Variety and No-Liking for Choclates and stuff.

[@annabaglioni2660]

I understand but for us European is good like this Try I dian shops ,they are a lot in Germany, Belgia, UK

[@rachelstrahan4769]

Part 2 please! I’d love to see a trip to the Asian supermarket too! 💕

[@IRC1026]

That was so much fun. They have SOOOOOOO much inventory in the store - a HUGE Variety. Would love to see part 2 if you're willing. Thank you!

[@petuniawolf]

You should bring us to your Vietnamese market. You can show us the good stuff to buy. 😘

[@Waldimart]

In summer, our supermarkets are great to stay in when it's hot outside. Especially around the cheese and milk area, it's so relaxing.

[@missfunkadilly]

These prices are killing me. I just had my german in-laws over to California and they are right, our stuff is so much more expensive here! 1.19 for chips, even converted that's 1.26. Chips are at minimum $3.99 here for the off brand. Even the Kettle Brand were 2.29 on the shelf, those are at minimum $4.99 here.

[@23margaret23]

I'm from America and half German and its really cool to see the what things we have here and what things you can only get in Germany So definitely do a part 2 😊

[@deliriouscheeto]

Ooh I live in Poland and my sister brought me Mezzo mix and it's freakkin amazing!!

[@oerthling]

Original recipe of Spezi is even better: 50/50 Coca Cola / Fanta, add a few ice cubes, done. Optionally add a slice of lemon or orange. It goes downhill with pre-mixed stuff like Mezzo-Mix or abominations like Pepsi.

[@deliriouscheeto]

@@oerthling what is Fantasy? Did you mean Fanta?

[@oerthling]

@@deliriouscheeto Damn auto-completion ;) Yes. Fanta

[@narinabrits767]

I would love a part 2! ❤ I really appreciate your videos and enjoy it a lot! Thank you Uyen!

[@poquirx3556]

I would really love another video about German grocery stores. Grocery stores are such a comfort place to me, and I especially love seeing ones from other countries 🤗

[@samp6]

I just wanna say that your content is such a fresh breath compared to content on here now, thank you for entertaining me 😂

[@Englandfan91]

Great video. Your thoughts about German food are very interesting. It's funny that you don't like our chocolate. There are countries with even sweeter chocolates. The crisps issue is real. My husband is British and the crisps in the UK are far better than the German ones. I don't know where the fascination with Bell pepper comes from. Your shopping trolley looks great and I'm sure is very practical. Also thank you for pointing out that it is necessary to bring your own bags. I got lots of plastic chips for the shopping trolley, I don't use money for that.

[@erichahnel4271]

Well need to say as a German i really loved Salt & Vinegar Crisps when i came back from visiting UK, we now starting to get some but they are not as sour and good as the ones i had in the UK. And the worst Part this UK Chips i loved where produced for "Lidl" a German Discounter, but they just sell it in the UK and not in Germany

[@elisacarow]

In Prague they now have salt and vinegar Pringles. I am allergic towards paprika also as spice and this shit is even in 2 German brands of Salt and Vinegar Chips/crisps whereas in Lays it is not.

[@lilacfunk]

Uyen, sounds like you have some cavities if you’re having such a reaction to the gummies.

[@laurad4277]

Please do a part 2! I love all your content

[@TheElrondo]

I don't really know where to put this comment, cause it's not specific to this video 😊 I know you have 1million plus subscribers so maybe you never read this but i have to express some of my emotions after watching lots of your videos. First of all i love to learn about foreign cultures and lifestyles and you do a very good job to present your native culture and lifestyle. I'm already in my mid 60s and your videos made me think about some habits we Germans/Europeans have. We easily could make our life a bit more easy and humble in some situations 😅 So thank you for your work and keep going producing your content. Much love for you and German boyfriend ❤

[@johanna006]

I'm from Malaysia and it is definitely interesting to see what supermarkets look like in Germany. Basically not that much difference in the junk food section. :)

[@whatever8282828]

Seeing Uyen in a long format video strikes me that her eyes are lovely. I have a beloved relative she reminds me of!

[@Scarlett.Granger]

You cannot mention Haribo and don't mention STORCK - it's a giant sweets company and all of it is made in Germany! You can still visit their factories in Thüringen, i think!

[@erichahnel4271]

Well if you want to mention STORCK you should also mention Katjes and Hitschler, both also German

[@Milacat]

And Trolli. The sour worms are so good.

[@vagabondnana717]

England and Germany supermarkets has a lot in common. I’m Greek and my partner is English and I find my self through the whole video saying to him YOU SEEEE because he thinks the Greek olives they sell in supermarkets or the feta cheese can compare to the truly greek flavours 😆❤️ Can’t wait for part 2 ✨

[@F0R3STCRYPT1D]

It tastes better in greece because greece is better in general

[@montananerd8244]

Now I want to eat the real stuff! Ive had taramasalata three times, it's incredible, so hard to find here, if the actual greek food is THAT good, i bet those cheap ass olives offend you lol. We have a Greek restaurant run by Greek people in my town, but they've been here like 4 generations, I think it's authentic Greek-American now. Gyros & fries lol!

[@BeckBeckGo]

Paid trolleys are one similarity. Cart narcs would be lost for content if America introduced them. 😂

[@ninamelissa3723]

Part 2 Please!! I want to know what you think about the household, and soaps and all the other things! Also, dairy! And you missed the most popular food in Germany that they eat for every single meal.... BREAD ! LOL

[@abraxastulammo9940]

The best thing is the Quark 😇

[@Vi_00]

If you want to eat the more ‘not meat’ parts of the animal like for example chicken feet, you can actually get it very easily here! You just have to ask a butcher (not in the supermarket but a separate store) or go to the section in the supermarket where they sell meat/cheese/fish behind a counter freshly and ask there! The option in the supermarket depends though bc some stores don’t offer it or the staff has no clue.

[@bernicearthur8655]

Please make a part 2. I really like your videos. I like your spontaneity and cheerfulness. German boyfriend seems very patient. Keep him.

[@luciep09]

When we lived in Germany in early 2000’s, the large supermarkets didn’t have as many international products as they do now. So many lovely German products that I still miss. Here in the UK, we have Lidl so if we want German products we can get some.

[@Thersyl]

I'm from Croatia and I immediately recognized that was Kaufland, they sometimes feel like a warehouse because they don't have fancy shelfs, but they have pretty good prices even when not on sale, EXCEPT for the cheese, they have some of the most expensive cheese in Croatian supermarkets, not sure if it's the same in Germany. I also love their non-food aisle because you can buy pretty nice appliances, tools or furniture (we bought a bathroom cabinet that goes over the washing machine for 50 euro).

[@alexandra6557]

In Romania Kaufland is on the more pricey side. Salaries are lower, but the prices...same, same. I still believe is good quality though!

[@agipal216]

Of course we want part 2! I’m going Germany this weekend! Can’t wait. It would be great if you showed us what you bought

[@cherylmarie3662]

So interesting to see how other countries stock their shelves. It’s just so enjoyable to watch you!

[@dariadellaira8050]

Part 2 please! Very useful idea, thank you for all your videos! I just moved to Germany and if I find a guide to different kinds of supermarkets (asian, turkish, rewe vs. lidl etc) my life will be so much easier haha I love asian cuisine with all those amazing greens but I don't know where to start in asian supermarkets!😍😅

[@fleurouge6803]

I'd also want to have a second part to this! Just love the calm way of yours explaining your impressions and insights. ☺️Frankly, I've been looking for a place selling fresh authentic Vietnamese vegetables in Germany, too. However, my search so far has been unsuccessful. I hence personally think that it would also be interesting to hear more about the Vietnamese farm you found. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with us and have a great day! ❤

[@EllaOcarina]

I lived in Switzerland for a few years as a kid and they had the shopping cart/coin system too! Now that I've been back in the USA for a while as an adult (And have worked retail with stores that have shopping carts), I don't know why they just don't implement it here too, it works so much better then the carts just being left everywhere! 😂

[@gattetta]

France and Spain also use that system, i don't know why other places don't have this to solve that issue you're speaking about 😅

[@moniabolletta8923]

I think it's a question of how some parts of the world see customer service: In the USA or in the East, for example, the customer is King, he must be served and revered and he absolutely cannot be contradicted even in his most absurd requests or in his most unacceptable or rude; In Europe we are much more egalitarian in the relationship between salesperson and customer in this field, and it is absolutely normal for a salesperson to help you, but he certainly doesn't kowtow to you. (and you can put the cart in place yourself: nature has given you hands, use them.)
