How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
You can find basically everything you need between the commissary and local grocery store. The quality of food is not only significantly better than the commissary, but significantly cheaper. There are also some specialty stores for Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern, so its not hard to find good spices and things you need for cooking. - Apr 2025
Anything you can possibly need is readily available. Prices at the German grocery stores are much cheaper than the commissary on base, and the food is of much higher quality because EU regulations are much more stringent than U.S. regulations. - Jul 2015
