the whole thing is that all the shops are close. a trip to the store is a moment for a walk - you can buy everything in smaller quantities and not waste food. Respect, my 'big' friend.

Please note. Tax is included in the price. In the USA you have to add the tax to the price shown on the shelf.

Forget cheaper, most important it's a real food

12:10 Oh come on now. You can't just randomly put produce where it does not belong. If you want to put something back, bring it to where you took it from :).

Biedronka is not a Polish chain. It is owned by Jeronimo Martins which is a Portuguese company.

Actually Biedronka was founded by polish guys and keeps the polish name and vibe but it was taken over by a portugeese holding a long time ago. A polish-polish shop would be a Dino, Społem, Lewiatan or Polomarket. All the best!

It is so much cheaper but give us american salaries because for Polish people it is not cheap. On contrary, many Poles who live in Western Europe like UK say that food prices in the UK stores are comparable with those in Poland but the salaries here are still not like those in the UK.

Price differences alone don't tell the whole picture. On average Polish people spend some $150-200 on groceries a month while the Americans spend $475, but the median wage in the US is some $57K while in Poland it's less than $20K, so on average Americans spend ~10% of their wages on groceries while Polish people do around 11-12% so it is slightly more expensive here. But honestly, I can live with that 1-2% difference bc the quality of products is SO MUCH BETTER thanks to the strict EU and National food regulations. The bread is actually bread!

Biedronka is portuguese, company that owns it is jeronimo martins

Just beware that many discounts are "on the second item" or "when buying 4" and so on. And regardless, it's best to look at the fine print telling you the price per kg or liter.

2:59 *American: It's only one dollar! Very cheap! What else do you want!?* *Pole: Taaak?... Akurat!...* *( **_Yeah... Exactly..._** )*

Say that after getting your salary in Poland, not in US.

Average earnings in Poland are 1,500-2,000 dollars , so it's not that cheap, it was much cheaper, but the virus and war in Ukraine affect prices

Using Biedronka app can help lower your grocery expenses. In my experience, when unfamiliar with the bread, it's advisable to slice it thickly. As for Biedronka, their vegetables may not appear the most appealing, but they have low pesticide, anti-fungal chemicals levels, and some could even be classified as eco by European standards.

5:43 I’m impressed how you said pietruszki 🌿👍👏 BTW. The beer Żubr was per Can so 12x2.99zl and there’s no deposit

I find your video interesting and informative. I enjoyed watching it. Good job. Keep it up!!!

If you can't find the price, every Biedronka has a scanner where you can scan the barcode and see the price. It is usually placed on a pillar ✌ Biedronka usually has the lowest prices of all supermarkets in Poland 👌

Biedronka has a lot of promotions on Saturdays and quite the crowd later in the day. Some products may be sold out by 12 PM. So its a good idea to get your shopping in by 10AM.

I did enjoy it very much, prices? Way better than in usa, especially NYC it's crazy, have a good day. Looking forward for another video😊

Those are great prices Kerry. A baguette and some ham and cheese from Publix (back in the US) would have cost me $12 bucks, in 2022! I have no idea how much it would cost now since I moved to Uruguay (and the groceries are more expensive here lol), but to get all this for under 10 bucks that's impressive.

You have to be careful with promotional prices at Biedronka. A lot of the promotional prices (the ones on the orange cards) work on the basis of multiple items. You have to buy e.g. two, three or even more same products and only then will the promotional price works. It's written on those orange cards, e.g: "Buy two and pay 34% less for second item. The price for one item 7,38 if you buy two items" or "The price is 8,99" and written in smal letters "when you buy other products for at least 199 zloty" or "1 + 1 free. Only 9,99" - and written in small letters "price for one item if you buy two". I myself got nicked recently for "1+1 free strawberries for 9.99" but it turned out at checkout that 9.99 was the price for one item when buying two so I paid 20 zlotys for two packages instead of 9.99 as I thought. These beers what you showed Żubr (which literally means Bison or European Bison) cost 2.99 for can if you buy 12 cans. If you buy less than 12 cans - you will pay more than 2.99 for can. And there is no deposit on cans in Poland - there is a deposit on glass beer bottles - but not on all of them either. There should always be information on the price tag whether there is a deposit or not. In general, Biedronka is the world champion in writing these promotional price tags in such a way that you can never be 100% sure how much you will pay at checkout. In Poland, everyone knows it and hates it. We even laugh that you have to go to the Biedronka with a calculator and a math book to understand these price promos. Biedronka has already received a number of fines from Urząd Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów (Office of Competition and Consumer Protection) and they were multi-million fines - but as you can see, it doesn't do much. For example in 2022 they got 115 milion PLN fine for "not putting prices next to all its products, and sometimes the price on the shelf differed from that at the checkout to the customer's disadvantage". Biedronka is known for its messy price tags. They always explain that it is the fault of low unemployment and there are no people to work even though they are looking all the time. So please be careful when checking how much the price is.

Biedronka is actually a Portuguese company :) - Jerónimo Martins Polska S.A. is the owner of Biedronka - the largest retail chain in Poland, with stores located in over 1,300 towns, which has been present on the Polish market for 29 years. At the end of the first quarter of 2024, it had 3,596 branches. The largest Polish supermarket chain seems to be Dino Polska SA, owned by one man - billionaire Tomasz Biernacki (a very mysterious guy, absent from the media, even his photo is nowhere to be found :)). At the end of 2022, there were 2,156 stores of this chain - mainly in smaller cities and towns, as well as in villages. We have one Dino store nearby, next to the village where we live. The selection of products there is much smaller than in the average Biedronka, and I have the impression that the quality of many products is worse. It is a very cheap store, even cheaper overall than Biedronka. Like someone who has already commented, I believe that a simple comparison of prices in Biedronka to prices in American supermarkets can be very misleading, it would be better to compare prices to, for example, the average salary in Poland and make a similar comparison in America. But of course, if you earn dollars and spend zlotys, it may seem that it is very cheap here and that it is actually a paradise on earth :)

21:19 *HA! HA! HA! I don't know if you noticed, but you were just browsing the shelf with women's products!* ♀️😆

2.99 is price for one can if you buy 12 at once. If you buy only one or two, the price is higher.

1:08 *"Biedronka" was a Polish store, but 20 years ago, when it was a chain of just a few stores, now it is a Portuguese store, Poland, of course, has its supermarkets; **_"Dino", "Milla", "Lewiatan", "Piotr i Paweł", "Od i Do", "Groszek"_** and other smaller ones, but all of them have no chance of becoming global corporations...*

13:00 if you are not sure of the price you can check it on the scanner, one of those is behind you on 21:52 (beside the beer signed "Czytnik cen")

That nutrition grade is really convenient actually. We should have that here but companies would have a fit

It is a nice looking grocery store with great prices.

Go to Stokrotka, Dino or Kaufland they have big variety of meats and they slice for you how much you want. Its like small butchery store inside the market.

Biedronka brand its name in Poland but real owner its Jeronimo Martins from Portugal.

Thankyou my friend

Great video comparing the prices from Poland supermarket to American supermarket! I noticed the eggs are not kept in the refrigerator section, like in US! Thanks for sharing!

Very clean store. Attractive packaging, too….

Just go to Germany and compare the prices versus salary in Germany that's a cheap country when it comes about the daily products vs salaries. Monday products are cheaper than in Poland and salary is about 3-4 higher

26:04 *If you were Polish and worked for PLN 1,500 a month, you would not be so happy and satisfied with the price...*

Polska jest ZAJEBISTA!

7:49 *it doesn't read "Guda" but "Gowda"* 😂

14:55- spaghetti in UK Asda or Tesco cost $0,96 so more expensive than polish prices, but in Poland they potentially earn much less ether.

9:40 these are hazelnuts. you have them in america aswell. 14:00 in regards to eggs one are barn eggs while the other are free range eggs. 21:36 its one can for 2,99 pln if you buy 12 of them. you have to be carefull with all these discounts some of them only apply if you buy for example 2 products (or multiple of 2)

The Biedronka chain is not Polish it's owned by Jerónimo Martins based in Portugal. If you're looking for Polish grocery shops the popular ones are Dino, Polomarket and Społem.

Try to find in Wrocław a grocery store called "Delikatesy" like were Piotr i Paweł, Alma or Bomi (they are not exist). They would offer way better quality food thany any Biedronka but ofcourse more expensive.I am sure You will find one.

yeah, its much cheaper cuz the lowest salary in Poland (which a large part of society still earns) is 812 $ per MONTH

From what I gathered, a typical salary in Poland is between 3500-4000 zł nett. Thats 800-1000$. i'd say Americans have the same prices, or even better when bought in bulk or using coupons. And you shouldn't just compare the exchange value, you have to take the purchase power of the currency. We earn a 1000$ and have 1$ hummus, you guys earn 4000$ and have 4$ hummus. Basically the same. Now compare car prices.

Some items are even cheaper than Spain. Great video and you picked the items I like.

8:56 *this is a roast sauce made from lovage, because of this product most Poles confuse lovage with another spice called "Magi", which, however, has a different taste...*

17:14 *Ehhh..? So... Good advice; When you are in Poland, God forbid, do not buy bread in the supermarket, because they are made of poor flour with an improver made of chalk and human hair, and they are not baked to completion, but are deep-frozen, so they are potentially poisonous because they may contain salmonella bacteria if If you want to eat real Polish bread in Poland, you have two options; either you go to a bakery with a long tradition of baking bread, of which, fortunately, there is no shortage, or you go to a Polish village and ask someone to bake it for you, because you won't find good bread in the supermarket...*

I like this store,in Canada is very expensive camper to this store

Couple products you checked had the wrong price tag, tuna for example is around 5.99zl or 6.99zl, it's the trap for some people beacuse the price tags are often missplaced and when you grab something quckly and you didn't check correctly, there is suprise by the checkout

I hope you enjoy Poland :) have a good stay! Btw- Biedronka is a Portuguese market

Biedronka is not polish market :) its portuguese network "Jerónimo Martins" . There are no country wide market networks but there are many regional ones like Stokrotka, PoloMarket, Torimpex, Spolem and so on.

In Poland, in larger supermarkets such as Biedronka, but also in smaller chains of stores (e.g. Żabka), usually if there is a promotional price - for example, as in 21:44 - details of the promotion for a given product are provided next to this price. - Beer Żubr: Price for 1 piece IF(!) you buy 12 pieces at a time = PLN 2.99 for 1 piece, so you need to add +35.88 Polish zlotys for this beer to the final bill (12x2.99) Below should always be the regular price per piece if you buy this particular product in quantities of less than 12 (i.e. more expensive per piece if you do not buy 12 of them at once..) And if it is a promotion only for a people who have a "customer card" of this store (or sometimes a mobile application), such information should also be written, because if it is not written next to the price, then this 12x2.99 promotion is available for everyone. 😉 You do not have to pay an additional deposit for beer cans or non-returnable bottles, but if you buy beer in a returnable bottle, an additional deposit is added to each bottle, if you keep the receipt, you can return the empty bottles in this store and the deposit you paid will be returned to you. Information about whether the bottle is returnable is always on the back label. sometimes there are also "X + X" promotions, e.g. 2+1 - buy 2 of the same type and get the third one for free or at a lower price (but you have to pay a deposit for a returnable bottle even if it is a "free" beer) 😉

BTW pierogi From biedronka are odd in taste in my opinion to chuwe

Prices seems pretty similar to the aldi i shop at in florida usa. Some stuff is a little more expensive here like milk

To be fair you should compare average salary USA vs Poland Bureau of Labour and Statistics, the average salary in the US per month is $6,228 or $74,738 per year. and next compare adjusting to USA/Poland to average salary

12:15 You never do that! Return it to a place where You took it from if You don't want it!

Hi Kerry. Thanks for the video. I think it does depend on what you like because some things are expensive, not all. It certainly is expensive for food shopping in the UK. I don't know about America. Aldi appears to be the cheaper supermarket, but for me, I'm not over keen on their products. Take care 😊

Also Polish payslips are cheaper. About 3 times.

Eggs - 40 % for the second package :)

All is with TAX.

LOL It is cheap for Western tourists, but not for the locals (earning $700 monthly).

Bruh, sorry to burst your bubble, but right now groceries in Poland are only cheaper if you shop exclusively at Fresh Market, Sprouts and Whole Foods. At Aldi and Lidl and often Walmart food is similarly priced as Poland right now, only people in Poland get paid multiple times less than Americans do. Eggs at Lidl are $1.66 per dozen ($4 organic), Strawberries are $2 per lbs and a whole chicken (organic!) can be as little as $2 per lbs.

When you earn money in poland - everything is super expensive :( As you said - 1 dolar is around 4 PLN so you know...

Its cheaper for Americans yes, but for peoples salaries in Poland its considered expensive!

It's obviously cheaper as land price and wages are also cheaper.

7:20 - same Greek yogurt in UK cost $0,6875 per 400gr. So UK prices are same,but wages are double as Polish wages. So no matter what will happen, UK is always a better place for ordinary worker than Poland. Specially because Polish property prices are overvalued at the moment.

Thank you so much! Did you ever see a Halal food in the supermarkets? Halal poultry and meat??

21:30 *and his funny "Żuen" are you French that you can't say B and R? what's interesting is that you pronounced "Ż" correctly, but it's not a German verb, it has to end with "EN", pronounce it a few times; "Żu-br", "Żu-br", "Żu-br" or maybe you will finally remember that it means bison in Polish...* 😂🦬🇵🇱

you must also consider that average salary in Poland is 1900 dollars and in US is 4900 dollars...but maybe you made common mistake, many americans think I have great salary and how cheap we have it here, but when I talk about salary I talk about monthly pay and many americans think, that it´s weekly pay, cause they have weekly pay....and also even average salary is 1900 dollarn(7800 PLN) many earn less, cause there is also a minimu wage per month is around 4000PLN - 1000 dollars

long time! going back to spain? i miss your spain vlogs. where's cat man? whens the big reunion?

Oglądamy 🙂

I work in big supermarket. You have triggered me when you put something where it doesn’t belong. People who work in supermarkets are very busy and have to walk a lot to bring all of those things back. Please respect people’s work.

I miss Biedronka! 🤣

Zawsze mnie rozwalają te filmy gdzie to turysta z bogatego kraju przyjeżdża do Polski głównie zwiedza największe miasta i opowiada jak to jest tanio w polskich sklepach, restauracjach, tanie noclegi i w ogóle bajka a jak jeszcze dorzuci ile to zarabiają Polacy np 7 tysięcy 😂😂😂 to Polska jawi się jako kraina mlekiem i miodem płynąca raj dla mieszkańców, ktorych stać na wszystko. Ja tam znam inne opinie, że np jest pięknie, wysoki standard bazy turystycznej, pyszne jedzenie, atrakcje itd ale drogo i pewnie przeciętnego Polaka na to nie stać ze swojej pensji skoro wyjeżdżamy masowo do pracy za granicę.

We name Grocery Store like warzywniak and we buy there just vegetables or bread.

Try also to compare salaries in Poland comparing to, say Illinois, Carolina, California. In California you can't survive with 4 thousand USD a month salary. But we pay more or as much for fuel, electricity as in many EU countries and US or Canada. Sure food is cheaper but not consumer products like electronics, dishwashers, cars, automotive parts which costs as much as somewhere else in EU or more than in US. So let's be fair Poland for Poles isn't exactly cheap. 10 eggs for $2.25 - in Canada dozen at around $4 Can in place like Food Basics which discount super market. In Sacramento I payed around 3.50 at WinCo, one the cheapest places I could find to shop for food which is equivalent of Biedronka. You should also have asked the cashier how much she earns monthly and then compare the prices relatively to her salary, maybe your perception of how cheap things are would be different.

It's cheaper because a lot of the food is local, they don't have to pay all the middlemen for distribution like we do in North America. Not to mention Poland has a much smaller population, so that affects the supply chain, they aren't having to grow and manufacture food for hundreds of millions of people.

Im from poland

Biedronka sells mainly lower quality food, and I personally don't like the taste of many of its products like bread. The dumplings you bought are another good example of what I mean. Lidl is much better in many areas, they also display price tags in a way, that's not problematic (on top shelfs in Biedronka it's common, that the labels are hidden behind products and it makes me irritated 😬). Greets!

You can also you apps and save a tonn it's very normal these days

20:17 - "They call it a 🤌Pasta Colgatte🤌, Mamma Mia!"

3:00 - "One US dollar for Hamas" - Do you want to get demonetized or banned?🤣

Yesterday i bought tomatoes in Biedronka for 1$/kg that is 3.99zł :P

Biedronka is portuguese

love from Canada:) here we are taxed for everything & our rights & freedom is taken away we are taxed for being taxed:(

No it's not an annual income in Poland is 1/5 of the average American annual income. Only if you are visiting Poland it's cheaper, but if you love and work in Poland food is actually more expensive, eith people spending 60% or monthly earnings on food.

Biedronka is owned by the Portuguese group Jerónimo Martins so it is not polish as you said :)

cheaper if you earn in usd

Cheaper than in Warsaw for some reason

Carrefour is French, Biedronka(Jeronimo Martins) is Portugeese, Aldi is German.

Biedronka it's not Polish supermarket.

come to Masurian Lake District , is the beatyfull peases place on the world

Jakosc zycia w Polsce w porownaniu do USA przy średnich zarobkach to 2/3 i 75% do Kanady. Dane ekonomistow.

@Travel Addict Guy: Plz don't use Nutrition score, specially for comparing different types of food. First of all it does not take into account the degree of processing of products. Second it ignores vitamin, minerals, good/bad fats and omega-3. Nutri score was commissioned by French Food corporations to increase sales of their products. It worked so good that other biggest companies started using nutri-score for their own products. And of course the measuring is only for 100g/per day. If u buy all products for whole day with letter A on a nutri scale and you compare the daily requirement with a dietitian, it will turn out that the product-based diet is very unhealthy. It's quite WELL KNOW FACT in Poland. BTW. Biedronka "ladybird" its not Polish shop, it's Portuguese with polish name.

Comment for algoritm : )

12:12 now u can receive ur Polish citizenship for that

Please stop thas disinformation, Biedronka isn't Polish at all but Portuguese. If you look for a polish grocery store than check Dino, Frac, Polomarket, Społem, Top Market and Topaz.

You didnt see the price of cheerios because someone put them back in the wrong place, like you with the granola a minute before 😂

As it's clearly not that expensive from your or mine pov, I wonder how it is for polish people in comparison with their income, i.e. how long would you have to work for like your daily shopping. But nice video.
