A little about products in Poland, and in Warsaw in particular. Perhaps my opinion will be biased, but this is not the first time I notice that there is no milk in Moscow, if it is not about farm milk, but about what is in the supermarket within walking distance. That's where I equate everything. I have repeatedly compared it with what is sold in Mtsensk-Orel (I used to go there often) and in the Krasnodar Territory. For me, it didn't even stand next to it. Naturally, we are also talking about store products. In general, the first, and then only a couple of months later, the second impression of Polish products remained only good.
Sour cream 18% is «impossible», we have such a 30%, we had to buy 12%, otherwise, like butter. Daria drinks milk all the time, and she also says that it is very cool. Found a delicious juice in Tesco / Carrefour, similar to the real one, only expensive. It is clear that freshly squeezed will not replace anything, but the taste is very direct, where I am going to take this in Moscow now, I don’t know. We ordered chicken for Yegor in Moscow from farmers, here you can just take it from the supermarket, it even looks different outwardly. I generally keep quiet about inexpensive Camembert and Brie cheeses..
I liked that the labels are more or less readable, it is clear which is which. Also, thanks to this, you can choose bread without yeast or something else without additives (E), preservatives and dyes. Well, to whom it is relevant, of course. True, in Tesco, in this regard, the choice is very small, in Carrefour there is more, but due to the small Organic department, the assortment is so similar.
And that is not all. Prices! Compared to Moscow, the cost is two times lower, our spending on food has dropped by almost one and a half times, and would have fallen even more if we cooked more often, like at home (there is little time for this). For example, 1 liter of milk (with a normal shelf life of 2 weeks) can be bought for 1.5-3 pln, which in December 2014 equals 25-50 rubles (before the rise in the dollar exchange rate, the price was 15-30 rubles). Of course, not all prices are the same, something costs the same (cherry tomatoes, persimmon). Surely, there is something more expensive than in Russia, but nothing is immediately recalled.
I went and took pictures of the prices of food in Poland (in Tesco), but I did not manage to do much, because then I saw that the icon was drawn, they say, photographing is prohibited, and somehow I did not continue. I wonder why such a ban ... I didn't take pictures in Carrefour, the assortment is similar, well, maybe it is different, but we take about the same thing, what is there, what is there.
To get the price in rubles, you need to multiply by 10 and add half of this amount (that is, multiply by 1.5). Six months ago, it was enough to simply multiply by 10.
Excellent milk with a normal shelf life
Sour cream 12%
Yoghurts
Regular cheese
Camembert and Brie
Regular bread as well, and buns are cheap
Yeast-free bread is also worth
Frozen vegetables are very inexpensive
Delicious, but not very cheap juice, even Yegor began to drink it
Water was bought from 5 liters, very cheap water
P.S. By the way, yes, water for cooking was sometimes used from the tap, quite normal water, the taste will also come down. On the forums they say that, in principle, you can use. At home, in Moscow, you can only drink filtered, otherwise it even tastes disgusting.
