We live about 40 minutes from the Netherlands border. I've been told by many that I should go grocery shopping there. Stores are open on Sunday, somethings are cheaper and other things you just can't get in Germany. We needed to fill our cupboards and freezer again after being gone for awhile. I decided to go yesterday (Saturday) with a friend of mine.

| Some of the treats that filled the van on the way home! |
It was interesting to go shopping in yet another country with yet another language! We've learned the foods in German and now we needed to figure them out again in Dutch. It's amazing how one can make do using a variety of clues. We were also surprised at the amount of people that spoke English...thankfully some of the workers did. We were laughing when we were trying to respond to Dutch with limited German and then in English! Talk about confusing!!:)

| Hummus (not found often in Germany), LARGE packages of ground beef, bagels (not in Germany usually), trying their salsa and baby wipes to find some we like. |
 |
| cheaper and more natural peanut butter, soft bread and hamburger buns, other treats just for fun! |
 |
| I couldn't resist! Tulips from the Netherlands! |

Seems odd to have tulips in the middle of January since Tulip Time in Holland, Michigan is in May, but I couldn't resist getting fresh tulips. Such fun in the the little things:)
I want to know what is in the Ninja bunny box! lol
