My friend leads tours to local grocery stores so military spouses learn to shop on the German economy.
The kids and I attended her Real store tour.

We learned about the bottle return for recycling.

Look for this symbol to recycle glass and plastic bottles and get a cash return!
This nifty little machine is by the entrance and you can sign up for a Payback card and look for or redeem points.

I love that Real has self checkout!
Real boasts having NO GMO produce! I love that!
Tip is the Real store brand and it’s great quality at better prices.
The labels in the wine aisle show flags for country of origin, temperature recommended for serving, and color coding for sweetness. Yellow is trocken or dry and red is lieblich or sweet.
Real has a great gluten free aisle with lots of options for prepared foods and mixes.
The signage is easy to find for gluten free or lactose free items!
The lactose free items are in their own cooler.
Aisles are labeled with numbers and items.

Real provided us with a lovely lunch buffet!
My kids got to make adorable Easter baskets – filled with lots of goodies!
It was super fun for my kids to have an activity while I walked around and learned what the store had to offer.

Here’s the super cute Easter baskets they made!
And this lamb cake is to die for!
We love shopping at Real!
