6 Things My Mom Would Change About Canada After Living in Germany

Every year I typically convince my Canadian mom to come for a 3-month visit to Germany to spend some quality time with me and my kiddos 💛
This means she's actually spent more than 1 year in Germany and in all the different seasons (both the good and the bad).
It was my hope that one day she was going to want to move here permanently! 🤩
Unfortunately, while there are some amazing things she's decided she wants to bring to Canada with her, I think she's settled with the idea that she's never going to move here. 💔

In the USA, many people do bring re-usable bags to the grocery store. My favorite are a Chinese brand called Dalix, canvas ones that I buy on eBay. The stores themselves sell re-usable bags also.

@nedludd7622 3 месяца назад

In San Diego, CA, there are recycling bins for bottles and cans at a supermarket nearby. You put them in the appropriate bins and receive tickets relative to what you put in which you can use to pay for groceries in the store.

I have collapsable boxes in the trunk of my car for shopping. So i drive my cart to the car on the parking lot and place the shopping items in the boxes. At home i just have to empty the boxes and fold up them after usage. The boxes are of stabile plastic, and can take a lot of weight.

@michaelj7677 3 месяца назад

Hey, here in Germany the supermarkets do facing as well (we call it "spiegeln"). Not all the time though, just a little bit each day. And of course not in discounters like Aldi or Lidl 😀

@manub.3847 3 месяца назад

Some people can write a novel about the family stress of getting a suitable daycare or kindergarten place. And depending on the federal state, the systems are now incredibly complicated. About thirty years ago we were lucky that one of our neighbors ran the "integrative neighborhood kindergarten" and told us when our first child was born that he had already been registered. Three years before reaching kindergarten age :)

Moin. Wie immer ein interessantes Video! Apropos Fund: bei uns steht vor dem Aldi schon seit langem der Mann mit der Hinz und Kunz Zeitung, der Obdachlosen Zeitung. Ich habe mir vor über zwei Jahren angewöhnt, meinen Pfandschein nicht drinnen an der Kasse einzulösen, sondern mit hinaus zu nehmen und ihm zu geben. Immerhin grüßt er alle Leute auch immer sehr freundlich und hilft mit den Einkaufswagen. Liebe Grüße, Ben

@karinsuden7700 3 месяца назад

Aldi is very slick now, compared to when I was young- it used to be really rough, ripped open cardboard boxes everywhere, and a very limited selection of basic groceries. I actually felt this much less stressful (and economical)-I just hate having to decide between 20 types of joghurt and buying several, because the variety is tempting 😅

@manub.3847 3 месяца назад

Oh yes, I remember. In the past, coffee,milk, flour, sugar, etc. were simply left along with the pallets and the carton. (Today this probably only applies to beverage bottles) The box with the children's jeans etc. was also left on the pallets. No extra rows of shelves or metal baskets

Aldi and Lidl are definitely leading the shopping world. Wal Mart had at one time 83 stores in Germany or for 1 Million people one store. When their losses accumulated 500 Million, they closed them all at once. . Contrary to them, Aldi and Lidl are in most, maybe even in every European country and are also expanding rapidly in G|B and USA. All this is the German Puenktlichkeit, Gruenddlichkeit, Organsationsfaehigkeit and Fuehrungspersoenlichkeit.

If you want to show your mom, what a decent recycling system can do, take her to the stairs on Burgplatz in the summer. People hang out there, drinking beer from bottles and enjoy the sunset. Lots of people with lots of beer. Meanwhile, some homeless/no-income people will ask you to give them the empty bottles, so they can return them for the cash. I think, it is a great "system" - the bottles get returned and do not litter the place and the people returning them are making some money on it for themselves.

That’s why she loves the canvas bags from germany so much! They come in super handy for grocery shopping in Canada too! 🙂 That’s true!

the orginal meaning of the deposit for the plasic bottles is to reduce plasic and use more glas bottles, bud instead germany produce more and more plasic waste and ship it to asia and africa were everthing gets polluted by german waste. it would be better if germany must handel its own waste and not ship it in 3rd world countries for "recycleing". this would reduce the usage of plasic bottles very fast.

Poor Customer Service is one of the worst aspects of living in Germany (not from everybody). I was once accused of shoplifting in a German Store. I was so angry, the shopkeeper, who had accused me, and the security guard were just laughing at me, they kept asking me why I hadn't kept my receipt, although it's common practice in German stores not to keep your receipts. I wrote two emails, one to head office, one to the store itself, plus a letter of complaint to the store. I never received a reply. I still feel angry thinking about it.

I remember the first times your mom agreed to appear on your channel. She seemed a little reserved and even a bit embarrassed. Not anymore! She's an absolute natural in front of the camera and has such a sweet character. How about keeping her part of your channel, Jenna? Maybe as a contributor every few months on topics that would allow for an outside perspective? It'll be a real shame not to see her anymore - especially if she continues to do little dances like that one in front of the bottle return machine. I was almost expecting John Travolta to jump into the scene and they'd do a rerun of "Grease"...😂🫶 Okay, I might 've fallen for a little bit of embelishment here, but nonetheless, your mom's a hoot and should definitely do some cameos on your channel!
