Zabka does not sell gas, it's just a convenience store. The closest to Zabka in America would be 7/11, from selling ready to go meals, to making hot fast-food like hotdogs, fries, wraps. They also have fully automated stores called "Żabka nano" where you scan the code from your app, walk in, and it will automaticly scan products that you put into your basket. When you're done you just walk out since it will auto charge you for all of the items you bought. They also have other services in the normal stores like a mail point so you can send/receive mail, tax paying point, phone repair etc.
@@marekbarycz4397 yeah, the median is 4200 pln netto, so it's about 12 000 € a year, so half the people earn less than than. The average salary is much higher than the median but it really distort the reality, most Poles don't earn even close to the average...
EU does great work forcing food / water standards. That's why even cheapest stuff is at least OK. Plus tap water is drinkable (not unhealthy) without any filters.
What people call full fat milk 3.2% from the supermarket is milk with water after the cream has been removed. Normal full fat milk from a cow is 4.8 - 4.9% . I will also tell you a secret about Polish families. If a family has three children, they are entitled to a large family card. This card allows you to buy cheaper tickets for public transport, discounts on car fuel and a 10% discount on food purchases in the supermarket. There are many more discounts that I don't remember, but I often go shopping with my brother who has this card.
It is always the ratio of income to costs. For us it's not cheap at all. For someone who lives here and, for example, has an American pension, living in Poland can actually be considered cheap.
The food has EU standards... the meat cant be bad ... but of course there are different qualities in meat ... like a 5 dollar steak or a 500 dollar kobe steak ... but even the cheap meat is good.

1:01: You can approximate the USD price by dividing the PLN price by 4. 2:11: No gas, just convenience stores, think 7/11. Polish society is much less car-dependent than USA, in part because of how accessible public transit is, so gas stations are few and far between. 11:04: We do have vegetables - super common in soups (duh), while in meals it's usual to have a veggie-based side side
For you is cheap, for us Poles its not. Imagine earn 3k $ month, and pay 7$ per L of gass, 8$ for bread, 12$ for 2L of Coca Cola, etc. People who live in Town in Poland, can spend 80-90% of monthly payment on bills.

in the USA food is highly processed and confectionery products have a lot of sugar compared to Polish baked goods. That is why in Poland there are not as many overweight people as you see in the USA and in Poland people walk a lot and even if you consume more calories you will get rid of it by walking and walking around the city and not like in America you drive everywhere. An American who moved to Poland with his wife got used to walking a lot and when he came back to America to visit his family cars stopped and offered him a lift thinking that his car had broken down. These are small everyday shops, not gas stations, there are also large supermarkets. Food in Poland is definitely healthier than in the USA and bread is not the same bread as in America what you call bread is called in Poland bread for toast. I don't know if you have eaten fresh real country bread made from sourdough - that taste and that smell
1:44 "Góralki" wafers are a Czech production - not Polish. 8:49 Very often, bread in supermarkets is baked from ready-made raw dough. Thanks to this, the smell of baked bread wafts through the shop, which makes people hungry and they buy more food. Such an oven pays for itself quite quickly. Bread baked in a supermarket is of low quality and, for example, dries up after a few hours of purchase, so that if bought in the evening, it probably won't last until morning. For comparison, the same type of bread from a professional bakery will not dry out even if kept on the surface for several days. I am not talking about bread with chemical "improvers" (which remains "fresh" even for several years), but about the kind produced using flour, water, yeast, and possibly herbs, seeds, pumpkin, onion, and other natural flavorings. 12:49 The minimum net salary (after paying: taxes, mandatory insurance contribution for medical expenses, childbirth and rehabilitation, mandatory contribution for pension insurance and in the event of loss of income due to disability, illness or childbirth) is approx. PLN 3,000 per month. Average net salary approx. PLN 6,000 per month.
Zabka to sieć sklepów otwartych codziennie. Nie jest najtaniej, ale też nie jest zbyt drogo, po prostu jeśli czegoś brakuje, to Zabka zaprasza. In general, Poles do shopping in large chain stores that have goods from Polish manufacturers but not only and the most popular store for shopping is the "Leviatan" chain or in any major city "PSS Spolem" stores in Poland or in smaller cities the chain of stores "GS"
Polish milk compared to US milk is a completely different thing. US cows are fed hormones and antibiotics daily, while Polish cows just eat grass and that's it.
If you're lactose intolerant, try soy milk, goats milk, or look for "lactose free" milk. The latter is sweeter than ordinary milk. Love from Oslo 👩🦳🇳🇴

And why our prices in los Angeles are so high ? Who is really paying this bills for the war and huge military loans???? " Oh how cheap it is!!!!! Paradise! Paradise! So cheap!!!!". Well there's my advice buy as much as you can and eat all shopping card at once. Poland is just a buffer zone for our military,and taxpayers r paying for all this.
It's not that cheap from our perspective. It is affordable but with how much we pay for bills and rent it's not that great. 4-5 years ago I would pay maybe 100-150zl for groceries he did.
It's really time for you and Charlie to come this way, although I understand that the financial picture is the most important. As the man already points out how chemical the cheese and milk are in the USA, and you also have problems with the milk... that says enough, I think.

No, the Zabka has no gas. It is really more a small convenience store that is for local residence to buy the item they forgot in the Supermarket.
And for tourists on every street in every old town ;)
Yep, and you can shop in sundays also (usually you can't shop in sundays)
The average income in 2023 was 21.000 € in Poland, so maybe cheap is only a thing from your perspective.

Rather de-freezed, its already pre-baked earlier.

About bread in biedronka/lidl: usually if you want good quality bread then you need to go to local bakery. Then I like to buy bread in Lidl.
there were some scandals concerning bread quality in Lidl in germany, some 10-15y ago

Little hint. Multiply everything by x2 or x3 to see how much it costs for Poles. Cos we earn way less than Americans.
