gas stations sell food as well – but they are much more expensive
deposit (German: Pfand)
you have to pay deposit for: drinks in glass bottles and plastic bottles, yogurt in glass
you can return the bottles only in shops, where you can buy them (e.g. Aldi doesn’t
sell glass bottles → you can’t return any glass boJles there)
returning: put empty bottles into the maschine / box for returnable bottles → take
the receipt → show it at the checkout counter and you get back your money
bags
in Germany they are not free of cost
you can buy a bag made of cloth; it is a little bit more expensive, but you can use it
