medium-sized market. i would actually call it more of a convenience store, really. but it does have…read morethe basic groceries and fruits, along with a dairy and beverage section, plus a few rows of dried and packaged goods. there's also a super small meat section - not fresh, just prepackaged stuff. went in and bought a bread roll, a banana and a container of strawberry yogurt for breakfast. i tried asking for a plastic spoon, but no one spoke english and in the end i couldn't eat the yogurt and just carried it around all day in my bag :(

Ok, so I literally live across the street from this Lidl. On the one hand, I spend €20 a day here…read morefeeding my family. On the other hand, that is only because it is right next door. I often joke with my wife that it's like having our own personal pantry next door! When we need something Monday thru Saturday between 08:00 and 21:00, we just stop in! They have just enough of the basics to keep me coming back, and the price is reasonable. For more complex shopping needs, I go to the Edeka two blocks NW on Schwedter. Apart from the usual psychological trauma inflicted by the German grocery experience, my biggest complaint is how small the place is. It's not that it's not that it lacks product, it's just too small to accommodate both shoppers and stockers at the same time. There are always pallet jacks being barreled around by obviously annoyed girls that both run the registers and fill the shelves. It seems I'm always in the way and this generally earns me some pretty nasty looks from the staff. I know, I know, wasting people's time is a taboo in this culture, but sometimes there is nowhere to be when you are blocked in on one side as a pallet of pasta noodles hurls your direction. At first, my nerves were tattered by this, and I guess now I'm jaded because I just expect it and laugh at the absurdity of it all. Also, don't take your hand basket through the line. Alarms will sound as if an actual offense has taken place. No one will tell you if you naively proceed down the line toward the register. It's every man for himself in the German grocery experience. If you're new to it all, don't worry, you'll get the hang of it!

Whoa was this place weird. They had all the things a convenience store should have, but in a very…read moreodd fashion. They have a selection of chips, but only one bag of each kind and about 10 bags total. This is the same with the candy and cookies. All are on what look to be book shelves. It's the most empty convenience store I have ever been in. They have a good selection of beer and and even better selection of wine. It's okay- just be prepared.
