If you're in the mood for a drink and the Krämerbrücke has left you disappointed, don't fret! Head on over to the supermarkets dotted around Anger and Domplatz. There, you'll find beer for a pittance, typically around 1€ to 3€ per half-liter bottle. Grilled sausages, the festival favorite, are available for around 3.50€, while even 4.50€ isn't unheard of. Unlikely to find anything under 3€.

Oh, for the nostalgia of good old haggling! I can almost hear myself saying, "Can I have a glass of that hop-fresh brew for just 4€?" With a quizzical look, the vendor might ask, "Why?" To which, I would reply, "Because I'm dying of thirst!" That should be a powerful argument, no?

Unfortunately, bargaining isn't a common practice at the Krämerbrückenfest. The primary focus of the event is on immersing in the medieval atmosphere, enjoying the performances, and appreciating the unique goods rather than engaging in price negotiations[1][2].
