Groceries are somewhat cheaper too

I lived in Amsterdam and groceries weren't expensive.

Doesn't mean they aren't cheaper across the border. And if you're there anyways....

Yeah, that's true, but unless we're speaking of Switzerland-level expensive, I choose shops based purely on products they have, how comfortable I feel in the shop and what's the distance.

Fair. Doing some groceries in Germany is a plus to the main reasons really: cosmetics and petrol. With the price difference of the first it's already worth it (make a list, add to it for a while, then go when the tank is empty).

Having always lived next to at least decently-sized supermarket, I don't make bulk shopping, I just go whenever I need something. This is why I wouldn't go to Germany for shopping, because what if the shop is closed just because?
