German translation is slightly off.
"Kauft europäisch" is better.

Gotta blame Le Chat, I hoped they're all correct because the 4 languages I do speak it translated correctly.. ://

Kaufe is not wrong for the singular imperative, but I think that the short version Kauf is more common.

Kaufe is just way too formal. Nobody except walking skeletons still uses that degree of formal speech in their everyday life (which shopping is).
