Where should you shop for food at a low cost?
Luckily, getting the best deal possible is thought of as quite a traditional German trait. Germany is well known for its discount superstores, namely Aldi, Netto, and Lidl. Basic foods, fresh fruit, vegetables, wine, and beer are much cheaper at these supermarkets than general grocery stores.

What is Germany’s bottle deposit scheme (Pfand)?
Familiarize yourself with the Pfand scheme. In Germany, you pay a deposit on almost all glass and plastic drinks bottles, which is incorporated into the original price (usually €0.25).
Make sure you collect these bottles up and either take them back to the retailer you bought them from or to a large supermarket (which usually takes any bottle with the Pfand logo on it) to have this deposit refunded.
If you do this once a month, you will get back a few euros which you can use towards the cost of your food shopping.
What is the DeutschlandCard?
Rather than collect various loyalty cards for different retailers, apply online for a DeutschlandCard which rewards loyalty points when you shop at a number of outlets including Netto and Edeka as well as 400 online shops.
