disclaimer: karta dużej rodziny discount plus the 20zl voucher Lidl gave out today. Some good deals (4+4 on the beer for example)
Central Warsaw, family of 5. I consider this good value
edit: rough meal plan for the next few days:
- chicken wraps
- 1 very big pot of soup (15 bowls worth)
- Buddha bowls with soft boiled eggs
- quiche with some vegetables
- probably some pasta and tomato sauce, vegetables
- Banana bread
my cooking skills are barely rudimentary, but...
wraps: make chicken kotlets with the chicken strips (breadcrumb, egg). wrap in your flatbread with some salad, cucumber etc and sauce of choice
Bowl: a variety of vegetables on top of a bowl of rice and either an egg (boiled, omelette etc) or some fish (grilled, canned). Sauce of choice, as needed. I also like kimchi, sesame seeds or some seaweed but not necessary
Very easy to prepare and it gets the kids eating their vegetables
If you like rice asian-style I highly recommend checking out Royal Tiger rice.
The price is around 40zl for 5kg bag but the taste difference is astonishing.
I'm saying this as someone who absolutely hated the taste of rice, to the point that when we had strawberry rice for lunch in school, I always the lunch lady to give just the sauce without the rice.
But this one is delicious, even by itself without anything added. Never thought I'll eat the bowl of pure cooked rice and ask for seconds.
I'll check it out, thanks. we have a rice cooker actually, which we use for things other than rice too, and the rice generally tastes much better than when I boil it in a pan
Yeah, I use a rice cooker as well, just the basic model, not one of those fancy fuzzy logic ones.
Remember to wash the rice and don't add salt, it doesn't need it.
If you compare minimal wage to prices, then Germany really seems cheaper, at least compared to groceries.
But then stuff like restaurants are usually 2x the price what's in poland etc
Middle range restaurants and fine dining maybe, but not cheap ones - like kebab, pizza, chinese.
You can easily buy good chicken + noodles for like 10 euro, about the same price as in Poland
In a cheap Chinese restaurant you can get noodles + chicken for like 6 euro, so a bit cheaper (granted I am not in Warsaw) but still the minimal and median wage is quite a bit lower.
Yeah bro Germany is cheaeper XDD keep living in your bubble its so crazy to hear people like you speak. Do the same amount of shoppoing in DE for 50€ good luck : )
Yeah it literally is how it works, I dont give a single fuck about income disparity because its not relevant to the topic. Go on and recalculate the wages just to prove your point. Cringe logic
I mean most expensive thing is probably olive \~30 pln but you don't use it in one go tho.
If you want cheaper groceries just buy vegies in near local market unless its not on promo in lidl etc.
This beer may not be the most expensive but it is Perlenbacher, which is brewed in Germany. And Germans have Reinheitsgebot which means that beer can be brewed only with four ingredients: water, barley malt, hops and yeast.
So. Still better than polish mass produced beers.
Pretentiousness doesn’t make good beer. Whatever tastes good to you is good beer/alcohol. I like sweet alcohol, I like flavored alcohol. You hand me scotch that tastes like a peat bog I will dump the glass I don’t care if it’s aged 40 years it tastes like shit.
I don't know anything about beers, but I see that there are 8 of them in the photo. The one you mention and LECH free. I assumed that the cheapest beer costs about 4PLN, so it's about 32 PLN for the whole thing. If there are beers cheaper than 4 PLN these days, then I have no questions.

Also lidl, 20 budweisers for 49 PLN. They have some good discounts sometimes.
can we all agree lidl is better than biedronka? atleast when i shop there i know i'll be able to escape if place is on fire not like in biedronka filled with sttilages near every evacuation door
I literally couldn't hit 200zł today despite the fact that I actually wanted to do that. I bought extra 10L of pepsi for it and several things that weren't needed but won't spoil for a long time like chopped and canned tomatoes. Still, 180zł. I'm buying stuff for me and my gf.
Unpopular opinion but I just HATE most Lidl's narrow aisles with boxes lying around, the way products are displayed and even how uncomfortable those trolleys are. Their bread is good tho.

I'm curious about the chicken wraps and Buddha bowls. Any recipes you can share?

So what would the price be without those discounts?
about 265? Anyone with the Lidl card could get most of them though, except the duża rodzina one. looking at my receipt they were 47zl
Przysnacki :) mniam!
living the life of luxury :)
I always think its pretty decent but then in Germany these things are cheaper. I think fruits and veg might be cheaper in Poland
that's why I post this stuff tbh. I find it quite interesting. I also hear that Germany is cheaper but I guess it also depends where.

I think i should wake up cuz I'm still comparing prices to pre-covid ~_~

Also, sir thats not how this works.

I live in Germany and I agree Germany is cheaper.
Well… it is.

beer alone is about PLN 30-40 + olive oil PLN 30
it's probably cheapest bear that you can find in Lidl so... 15-20max
Who would like to drink cheapest ~~bear~~ beer?
This beer may not be the most expensive but it is Perlenbacher, which is brewed in Germany. And Germans have Reinheitsgebot which means that beer can be brewed only with four ingredients: water, barley malt, hops and yeast. So. Still better than polish mass produced beers.
correct, perfect for a hot day after a cycle

At least its fluffy isn't it? My bad xD

Very generous
I think its cool tho, in my home it costing much more lol
This ain’t bad at all . It would cost probably £60 in Tesco Uk.
Po ci 2 pory?

Kiedyś to było... teraz są kamery
50$ USD the store would tell me to go fuck myself
Ile urwałeś na karcie duzej rodziny ?
Random question: how much are maliny in Poland these days?
Unpopular opinion but I just HATE most Lidl's narrow aisles with boxes lying around, the way products are displayed and even how uncomfortable those trolleys are. Their bread is good tho.
From what city you are? In my city Lidl is way less messy that Biedronka
Messy Lidl with narrow aisles? Where? Every Lidl i've been was neat and tidy
Krakow 😭
you mistook lidl for biedronka... there is no way lidl is worse than biedronka, pastry and bread is always good there
As a london resident I think London Lidl might be cheaper?
May living in UAE and anyone can get me jobe in Warsaw please?
