    Aldi & Lidl are good bets - meats and the like.

    Also good for sauerkrauts, mustards (senf) & sauces/pickles.

    You should be able to pick up pork hocks (schweinehaxe) in most butchers too.

    Tchuss!

    Creamy pastries. Apfeltorte, apfelschorle. Basically, pastries, and some with apples. If you go to a posh bakery, you'll probably manage to get something close.

    I'd also go for German cheeses and German cured ham. For these, you could try Fallon & Byrne or Liston's.

    You could also pre-make kartoffelsalat (potato salad), I'm sure there's an easy recipe on the interslice. Sauerkraut's fine, but depending on preference, it should be served warm, with warm dishes. At least that's how I like it.

    If you want German booze, beer is the obvious option, but German wine is an alternative, but pricey. Otherwise: schnapps.

    You could opt for a crumble cake with either apples or plums, you know, 'Streuselkuchen'. That's very German and fits in perfectly with the season as well. If you go for apples, you might want to add raisins and put a bit of cinnamon on the topping.

    Oh, I just read you don't have access to a cooker. Hmmm... Apart from Lidl and Aldi, you could try some Polish shops for desserts, they offer things like pastries that are just as common and popular in Germany.
