Skip them both and head over to the German Supermarkt or American Grocery Store for a REAL peak into what daily life is like in both Germany and the United States. Grocery shopping is one of our favorite activities and we were surprised at the culture shocks we experienced when we went back to the US and shopped at an American grocery store after spending so much time in German Supermarkts.

Reverse Culture Shocks 🇩🇪 20 Things We Missed about Germany while in the USA!
We moved to Germany from the USA in February of 2021, and our first time to go back was 10 months later, for Christmas! I honestly didn't think we'd notice many differences before we arrived, but I was wrong! We began to notice things right away that we'd forgotten about while living in Germany. We kept a list while there for two weeks, and sat down to record it for you all - 20 things in total, and we could've done more! There were many little things that by themselves aren't a big deal, but added up, they equal culture shocks. So here's our list of things we missed about Germany while in the USA, and things that were strange for us.

German Supermarkt vs. American Grocery Store
在德国生活的一个美国中产家庭
分析的2个国家的差别 挺不错的
Statue of Liberty? Brandenburg Gate? Nah. Skip them both and head over to the German Supermarkt or American Grocery Store for a REAL peak into what daily life is like in both Germany and the United States. Grocery shopping is one of our favorite activities and we were surprised at the culture shocks we experienced when we went back to the US and shopped at an American grocery store after spending so much time in German Supermarkts.
美国的超市包罗万象，不仅能够采购食品蔬菜、生活用品、衣鞋百货、家具家电，还可以换轮胎（如Walmart）甚至买车（比如逆天的Costco）。总之，你能想到的商品，都有可能在超市找的到。
与中国 美国 超市大而全不同的是，德国超市一般都是小而精。
不同的超市有着不同的侧重，用不同的定位、不同的品牌、不同的折扣，在一条街上各自经营，共同享受着穿梭往来的客群。
小而精的超市里一般只有三四个员工，客户多的时候就多开几个收银台，客户少的时候就在库房或者货架前整理，不但安静又整洁，而且大大节省了人力成本。
德国超市排名
---------------------------------- 德国超市介绍 ---------------------------------
药妆超市——妈妈群遛娃必进 主要代表：DM,Rossmann 地理位置： 广泛分布 目标客群：母婴群、代购群
DM欧洲最大的日化企业，Rossmann第二。
产品覆盖护肤、护发、孕婴、保健类产品，宠物食品、相片冲洗加工、天然化妆品以及红酒等产品品类。 婴幼儿奶粉不用说了，国内奶粉出问题的时候，这两家的奶粉货架一定是晶晶亮，并且少有的提出了限购要求。 品牌全球知名，以DM为例，Balea的护肤，das gesunde泡腾片、Kamill小雏菊手霜、Schaebens雪本诗面膜......嗯，多了不说了，太占篇幅。 对BIO食物有要求的，比如五谷杂粮。 如果买的东西是送人用的，漂亮的包装纸可以自取。 折扣多，在DM用payback积分卡经常有10倍积分活动，Rossmann则是门口派发折扣券，也是很划算的。
Bio 有机超市——白领人士推门而入 主要代表：Dennree Gruppe、ALNATURA、BIO COMPANY 地理位置：核心区、富人区 目标客群：精英、母婴和健康小资
什么都可以是Bio有机的，不仅是基础食材，还有日用品、化妆品、婴幼儿用品，连口香糖都有BIO的。 新鲜的时令果蔬。对于健康饮食的要求是什么？食物的多样性和新鲜度，比如6月的时令水果。
有机标志非常重要，比如常见的有机徽标（绿色背景上的欧洲叶子）之外，您还可以使用有机印章（六角符号）为产品贴标签。
平价超市 主要代表：Lidl、Aldi、Netto、Penny等 定价策略为“薄利多销”，价格比其他超市要便宜。俗话说“一分钱一分货”，如果你想要人少、购物环境好、包装精美等等要求，那就需要出门右拐了。 快消品更便宜些，蔬菜水果有时候没那么新鲜。追求BIO的，后边有专门的BIO超市。目标客群：追求“性价比”
德国日常超市——每天顺便逛一逛
主要代表：REWE, EDEKA
地理位置：广泛分布
目标客群：更注重体验和品质
交通方便，购物环境较好，商品质量与包装美观比较好。果蔬和肉类的品质“一分钱一分货”
也不是说什么都比平价超市贵。比如Rewe的子品牌Ja很廉价，优惠活动也多，配合PAYBACK卡的积分活动，还是很划算的。 可以取现，省得去银行跑一趟。 营业时间长，早上7点一直到晚上10点。
德国药店——娃不睡觉时需要的一杯茶 主要代表：各种Apotheke 地理位置：随处可见 目标客群：每个人 经营特点： 德国药房可以对外出售处方药、非处方药以及各类保健品。 需要注意的是，处方药必须有医生开具的药单。而非处方可以随便买，一般小毛病感冒、过敏、消化不良药剂师就能帮着解决了。 保健品出名的太多了，随便列几个：备孕喝的Femibion叶酸，小孩咳嗽的Prospan小绿叶糖浆，补贴圣药Floradix铁元，跌打损伤的Ensbona马膏
专卖店——走地鸡山黑猪，嫩牛羊羔海鲜场 主要代表：Metzgerei（肉店），每周的集市 地理位置：集市 目标客群：肉食动物
经营特点： 想吃生猪肉面包早餐，要去Metzgerei 德国是最能吃猪肉的国家，要不德国大猪肘、德国香肠这么出名
土超——香料达人与异域爱好者的小爱好 主要代表：HIT 地理位置：一般不在中心区域 目标客群：土人，对调料风味有要求的人士 蔬菜和水果种类齐全，价格比较便宜。 就想吃羊肉串，德超找不到？看看土超吧，尤其是羊肉、内脏一类的应有尽有。 调料品类齐全，八角桂皮各类香料。
亚超——舌尖上家乡的味道 主要代表：Go Asia等等 地理位置：实体店一般不在中心区域，网店、微信团购群众多 目标客群：老乡 经营特点： 亚超对于华人的重要性不言而喻，尤其是大米、酱油、醋、老干妈这些储备粮。
美国的超市包罗万象，不仅能够采购食品蔬菜、生活用品、衣鞋百货、家具家电，还可以换轮胎（如Walmart）甚至买车（比如逆天的Costco）。总之，你能想到的商品，都有可能在超市找的到。
1. Walmart（沃尔玛）
作为全球500强企业，沃尔玛自然是无人不知、无人不晓。对于很多刚来美国的同学来说，在国内就已经接触过的沃尔玛自然是不二选择。 沃尔玛在各地门店不少，而且产品丰富、价格便宜，始终保持着最低价的策略，同类的商品你总是能在沃尔玛找到最低价的选择。几美元的T-shirt，十几块钱的鞋，质量还都不错，很多中低收入的美国人经常在沃尔玛买衣服。 除了日用百货，沃尔玛还有很多电子影像设备，比如高清DVD，iPhone、 iPad，每年黑五销售季，沃尔玛打折的电子产品绝对是大家疯抢的对象。一句话，沃尔玛基本称得上是应有尽有了！
沃尔玛现在主要分为四种形式，沃尔玛购物超级市场（Walmart Supercenters，包罗万有的百货超市），沃尔玛折扣店（Walmart Discount Stores），沃尔玛社区店（Walmart Neighborhood Market，一般主要卖食品、药品以及少量日常用品），山姆会员商店（Sam's Club，大宗仓储型超市）。
2. Target（塔吉特）
被认为是“中产阶级”的Target“靶子店”是很多人的最爱。其实，Target的产品结构和Walmart很相似，也是日用百货，食品医药，衣帽鞋包和家电器械等，但不论是超市摆设、产品质量还是商品价格，你都能感觉到Target似乎更高端一些。 Target有很多质量非常好的母婴用品，它家的家居用品也不少，追求生活质量的同学，可以从Target搜罗到很多很有趣的生活小物件，用来布置你在北美的新窝。 值得一提的是，Target虽然是超市，但在时尚和美容方面做得也很好，它和大牌设计师合作，推出Target Fashion，很多开架的美容美妆产品也不次于大牌，如喜欢韩系护肤品的童鞋不能错过的兰芝。
3. Costco（好市多）
Costco是美国最大的连锁会员制仓储店，绝对是超市中的巨无霸。Costco 所卖的产品份量大，基本上全是家庭装，特别适合一家人分享，价格相对普通超市更加低廉，但是质量也是杠杠的。 这种大分量、简包装、低价位的销售方式实在是太深得老美的心了，所以每到周末，Costco门口巨大的停车场就人满为患。与Costco类似的会员制仓储店还有Sam's Club和BJ's，但是貌似Costco就是要火爆很多。
