It was time for my families montly cheap groceries in germany. However those pesky peanuts are a thing. The ones we buy are sold out half of time we are there. Today I was there with my dad. Most of the time it is mom, dad and me. Today was extra good. Dad's beer was on sale and we got 5 euro spending discount. And we got a coupon for 5 euro off next time we shop there. That store also always gives out discount coupons. We got one for cat food.

Coupons are annoying, i like it better when all your deals and sales are on your phone or your membership card. So much less fiddling.
Big spending discounts are great tho, anywhere between 20% to 50%, we are getting less of them now that there are less people in the house and thus less to buy but it is awesome when you get them.
We always buy 3 six packs of 1,5 liters pepsi coke over there. And then a crate full of fanta for my mom. Beer for my dad. Lot's of dog cookies and cat food. In germany they also sell the Mayo you get at mcdonalds. As well as the ketchup. My dad also always get's two large boxes of licorice.
@vengeance: Drinks are good to buy in large amounts, usually a low alchol beer. We don't really drink soda anymore, too unhealthy.
And honestly mayo is so much better when you make it yourself, there is no comparison. When i make ketchup it doesn't really turn out the way i want it, hard to get properly ripe tomatoes in the store so maybe i have to bike over to a farmer and buy some.
What kind of licorice?
@Monorea: We aren't the type of people to make stuff ourselfs. And these licorice:
@vengeance: Too busy, too lazy or some other reason you don't do things yourselves?
Not my favorite type of licorice but not bad either, i hate salt licorice or hard licorice candy.
@Monorea: My mom already dislikes cooking. So making for example your own mayo would not be something she likes. And dad and me also aren't fans of cooking. I do like baking cake.
@vengeance: Any favorite type of cake? I like a lot of types but one i am asked to make often is german lemon cake.
@Monorea: I always make normal cake. That's the one I like the best. My mom always makes apple pie.
@vengeance: Butter cake, so a heavier kind of sugar cake, nothing wrong with that. Not very exciting tho.
Dutch apple pie looks nice, very rustic. I like making crumbles with lots of oat in it, i love oat.
@vengeance: One doesn't have to be as long as one isn't killing oneself with bad food choices. By the way do you know what i mean when i say german lemon cake?
