That way, I got 115l and saved 23€ - about enough for a half fillup :D
However, I split the action via two stations to reduce the risk of getting caught.
Tobacco is cheaper in Luxemburg, too, but I don't smoke (because I believe the soldering smoke has hurt my lungs enough already) ;)

*In Germany, a single-use-bottle (and since some years even on beer/soda/water cans) deposit has been established a long time ago.
E.g. France or Luxemburg don't have this, I see the result each summer when I'm on holidays in France: lots of empty bottles lying around at the beach and elsewhere.
The downside is that although the deposit system claims to be uniform, lots of stores only have to accept the type of containers they sell.
Returning plastic bottles is no problem anywhere, but the two stores in the suburb where I live don't sell beer etc. in cans, so I have no chance to return the empty cans of the cheap beer I like locally, instead, I have to go down into the city and get it away there.
Of course you can just throw them away, but at a deposit of 0,25€ per container (!), at least I don't do this.
So I buy Energy drink across the border without deposit ;)
This is totally legal (as it is no tax issue); I even started collecting the aluminium cans I emptied at home (at the university, I use to throw them into the bins), but my mum recently visited me and threw them away
