Use bank ATMs in the city centre for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Leipzig/Halle Airport and main train station due to poor rates and fees.
Contactless debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and public transport; some smaller cafes and stalls prefer cash, so carry a small amount.

A filled bread roll or a slice of pizza from a bakery or kebab shop for around €4-6.

Döner kebab stands and Asian noodle places are reliable cheap options; main areas around Markt and the Südvorstadt district have clusters of budget eateries.
Aldi, Lidl, and Netto are the main discount supermarkets; Rewe and Edeka are slightly pricier but carry more variety.
Second-hand shops (e.g. Humana) and chain stores like H&M and C&A in the city centre; the flea market at the Alte Messe on Sundays is good for bargains.
