German Grocery Store Hauls as Americans
Today, we’re sharing our German grocery store hauls for one week! You’ll see what we buy, which German foods we’ve been trying, and how much it all costs.
Our Story
In February of 2021, we picked up our American family of six, with four kids ages 11 and under, and moved halfway across the world to Germany to follow our dream of living in Europe again! When we were first married, we lived for two years in France and fell in love with the European way of life. Moving to Germany has been a whirlwind, especially with four kids in tow, but we’re already growing stronger and better from the experiences we are having. It has NOT been easy, but that’s how it usually is in life when you go after your dreams!

Our German Grocery Store Hauls for a Week
We’ve been asked many times to show what we’ve been eating here in Germany since we moved here in February of 2021, from America, so here ya go! We go shopping 3-4 times a week, which is a big change for us coming from America. We used to shop once a week! But we are loving trying new German foods – you’ll see us eat and make Käsespätzle, Maultaschen, Döner, Schupfnudeln (Kartoffelnudeln), Weißbier, and lots of yummy Brötchen (rolls) und brot (bread) from the bakery. Even the snacks are different here – like the paprika flavored chips!
