Price of bed linen & pillows for motorhome

We are arriving in FRA to rent a motorhome for 4 weeks %26amp; are wondering about buying our own bed linen, doona %26amp; pillows rather than rent them from the RV rental people.

Could anyone advise the approximate cost of some Supermarket pillows, sheets %26amp; doona suitable for this purpose %26amp; perhaps suggest a charity for us to give them on to when we leave?

You can get the duvet cover and a pillow case in sets starting from �9.99. You can get the actual pillow from around �5 and the duvet from around �15. Linens start from around �5 as well.

There are plenty of red-cross and other charity collection boxes all across town - or you hand it over to the Salvation Army (Heilsarmee) at the train station or airport...

You can��t buy pillows at the supermarket here. Try IKEA for resonably priced bed linens.

You can%26#39;t buy linens and sheets at grocery stores, which Germans refer to as supermarkets. But at the real supermarkets like %26quot;real%26quot; or %26quot;toom%26quot; or others you%26#39;ll find your sheets and linens. As I said in the other thread, there is a %26quot;real%26quot; store not too far from your hotel...

Bring your own?

If you don%26#39;t have a set you mind getting rid of already in a cupboard, then you%26#39;re set.

Otherwise, drop by a charity shop and pick up a set (you%26#39;d probably want new pillows, though!) and give them a good wash. (at least with renting houses, I%26#39;ve never seen pillows as part of the linens package -- they%26#39;re already there.)

Then if you have room to bring them back, fantastic, but if you%26#39;re pressed for room in your bags, you can donate them as above -- and you%26#39;ve helped two charities...the one you bought from and the one you%26#39;re donating to.
