German Grocery Stores

I was really surprised to see Aldi there. This was one of the cheaper, bigger grocery stores. One of them even had a real parking lot.



The aisles were pretty long and narrow. We ate out a couple times, but mostly went grocery shopping. We had fun trying lots of kinds of cheeses, breads, and yogurts. Prices seemed pretty reasonable. We learned that you need to bring your own bag or basket. We also learned that you need to bring a Euro for a deposit if you want to use a cart.
We bought what we thought was cheese which turned out to be mustard.



This gave a whole new meaning to tomato paste, since it came in tubes like our toothpaste does.

You have to put a quarter in to get a cart at Aldi's in the States.
