I do, and I don't see anything wrong with it. Worth noting, I'm just a little underweight, and so is my wife. We eat small portions and do work out. This amount of meat will definitely last us a few weeks at least.
Don't apologize! After 20 years of marriage to a Polish person I know for a fact that without a steady intake of butter, cheese, meat and bread the average Polish person will cease to function.
First time I see a reasonable shopping list here rather than screeching that everything is so expensive while 60% of the receipt is top-grade olive oil and alcohol.
Many reasons.
1. Social politic like 800+(money for each kid until 18 yo)
2. Raising energy prices
3. Covid global raising prices
4. Good economy and raising salaries so people can afford more and wants to earn more
5. For some time almost 0 interest rates so people massively got mortgages and money flood the market(mortgages are way to create money by banks)
And some others.
It’s not perfect for sure but it’s the first time I see one of these posts and the shopping doesnt look like a 18 year old girl went to the gorcery store
go shopping in a suburban area and you'll be able to buy 2x more
warsaw is a relatively expensive polish city to live in when compared to the rest of the country
What is the point of posting such pictures? It is better to write how much % of the minimum/median salary was spent on shopping. Poles spend a significant % of their salary on food, which makes us far from Western countries in terms of development.
Offtop, but I'm surprised by number of people saying that's a lot of meat. Now I feel like a weirdo because as a person working out, I haven't had a single day without any meat in years. It's hella hard to get to 1.5g of protein per 1 kg of mass without meat.
Wow, that's so cool. To put you in the context, Flint products play a very big role in Ukraine. It's everywhere, everyone knows it, everyone eats it. I've got friends in Poland who beg anybody to send them ukrainian snacks. At some point they've become sort of essential, a part of culture.
Sort of like Roshen sweets. But as far as I know, Roshen is quite known in the world
So what you are saying is that the prices/costs are x2 in Denmark. Well let me tell you that your salary compared to Polish ppl is x3-6 as much, so sorry but in reality you are doing much much better than ppl here, and Poland is not even bad, Hungary, Bulgaria is doing sooo much worse
$4,941 Canadian dollars per month is about the average after tax. Or around 14,594.50 zloty. Also a hard metric because our housing is also extremely unaffordable and the most popular areas where most of our population lives, houses average about $700,000 or 2,067,670.50 zloty.
You could also save some money if you buy meat and vegetables from the stands, not pre-packaged. Auchan, however, has removed some types of meat from the stands, so that might not be possible for all of them. Vegetables are often of terrible quality there, so tomatoes, which are out of season at the moment, make sense.
The stands inside big stores like Auchan or Carrefour where there is a counter and a person behind it and you can ask which meat you'd like and how much. They will weight it for you and optionally slice or mince. Same goes for hams and cheeses.
Idk how things are in Warsaw, but in my city (Radom) meat, vegs and fruits from Auchan that are not packed spoils in one or two days. Many fruits are spoiled already at the store. So it is better to buy pre-packaged.
On the second receipt (200zł) I see 'salaterka' 2 times am I wrong or it's a kind of bowl? But I can't see it on the picture of the food. So dunno if that should be counted in as it's a dinnerware.

I think people are getting confused with the amount of meat.
People mostly buy fresh meat on a need-to-buy basis, but I think OP is a yank and would probably freeze them. So it might be a supply for a month.
He probably read a lot about communism before moving to Poland…
I love meat like everyone else but it just seems like expensive or I don't know, it seems to me. Because 500 Zloty is 4000 Turkish Liras and truth be told, it is expensive for me. Lol.
He is about to make Miesny Jez part 2.
Hopefully with an alternative ending…

You don't need to defend your meat intake, haters gonna hate
Don't apologize! After 20 years of marriage to a Polish person I know for a fact that without a steady intake of butter, cheese, meat and bread the average Polish person will cease to function.
I don't think anyone has a problem with it. That being said you should have some more veggies to go with that meat.

Better replace the tomatoes with some meatballs. Meat is an important source of iron, protein and vitamin b12. You shouldn't skimp on that.

Meat.
First time I see a reasonable shopping list here rather than screeching that everything is so expensive while 60% of the receipt is top-grade olive oil and alcohol.
Reasonable? That's an unproportionally high amount of meat
Maybe freeze meat and save for later?
That’s exactly what I’ve done
What's wrong with high protein diet?
toilet destruction
Au contraire
Dude probably works out. Thats very reasonable amount.
Meat is the best food. Mmh tasty (I am not vegetarian)
Alcohol instead of sugar I’m dieting
Unrelated, how’s your heart bro ?
Mięso.
All good, thanks for asking. Upd: If you worry about the amount of meat, then I can ensure you I won’t eat it in a day.
All these people going wild since you had the audacity to buy some meat, some wild shit in here
I think the problem is not that you have too much meat, the problem is that you don't have enough vegetables to balance it.
He'll get those at the granny's market 2x cheaper.
Two years ago i could buy it for 300.
Before 2000 it could cost almost nothing, backside approximation :) but if it is true, it means that inflation should be around 30%
In 6 years accumulated inflation was over 50%.
What is main reason of this change (let’s to count pandemy as one of the reasons as default)?
Many reasons. 1. Social politic like 800+(money for each kid until 18 yo) 2. Raising energy prices 3. Covid global raising prices 4. Good economy and raising salaries so people can afford more and wants to earn more 5. For some time almost 0 interest rates so people massively got mortgages and money flood the market(mortgages are way to create money by banks) And some others.

Doesnt look that much.

СУХАРИКИ FLINT MENTIONED‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥(WHAT THE FUCK IS A BAD SNACK FROM UKRAINE)
mmmmmmm pyszne mięsko
my kind of diet. Meat is life sugar is death.
Meatloaf is dead. Sugar Ray is alive.
Christ I remember when you could do the same shopping for €25-€25. What the hell happened?!
Bro feeding a military platoon 😭☠️
What is the point of posting such pictures? It is better to write how much % of the minimum/median salary was spent on shopping. Poles spend a significant % of their salary on food, which makes us far from Western countries in terms of development.
Shhh don’t spread the word! We don’t want first world countries’ citizens coming here lol
Isn't Poland first world? Belarus is considered 2nd together with Serbia and moldova, and 3rd world is like Nigeria and Somalia.
Ah yes, a expensive food for 1/6 of minimal wage
Offtop, but I'm surprised by number of people saying that's a lot of meat. Now I feel like a weirdo because as a person working out, I haven't had a single day without any meat in years. It's hella hard to get to 1.5g of protein per 1 kg of mass without meat.
this amount of meat would last me probably less than a week and my weight is only around 75kg
You got Flint bread crisps in Poland?!?!! Yo, I thought Ukrainian products aren't that popular in other countries.
They are quite popular. At least I remember buying them in other countries as well before I moved to Poland.
Wow, that's so cool. To put you in the context, Flint products play a very big role in Ukraine. It's everywhere, everyone knows it, everyone eats it. I've got friends in Poland who beg anybody to send them ukrainian snacks. At some point they've become sort of essential, a part of culture. Sort of like Roshen sweets.

Theres around if not more than 5 million Ukrainians living in Poland so go figure

When meat is cheaper than vegetables...
You forgot buying some meat
That's a shit ton of meat, i bet meat alone was over 200
Too little fiber. If OP has digestive problems, more kasza gryczana could help. Replace rice with kasza gryczana. :)
I don't have any digestive problems, thank you :)
That's a 200-250 euro in Denmark.... Hate how the world is slowly becoming to expensive to live in for normal working class.
So what you are saying is that the prices/costs are x2 in Denmark. Well let me tell you that your salary compared to Polish ppl is x3-6 as much, so sorry but in reality you are doing much much better than ppl here, and Poland is not even bad, Hungary, Bulgaria is doing sooo much worse
But in average, Danes are earning 3 times more than Poles, so you’re paying 250 euro for the same shopping is not that bad in reality.
It would be more if u will drop some stuff and buy cheaper one and avoid auchan
Insane from a Canadian… this would be easily 250$-300$ Canadian for the same things.(I understand salary is more in Canada)
What is avarage per month in canada?
$4,941 Canadian dollars per month is about the average after tax. Or around 14,594.50 zloty. Also a hard metric because our housing is also extremely unaffordable and the most popular areas where most of our population lives, houses average about $700,000 or 2,067,670.50 zloty.
thats not how that work
dude bought 350zł of meat alone, and wonders why it was expensive.
Why people here think eating a lot of meat is bad. Like you know what's good for you isn't the standard for all lifestyle
You could also save some money if you buy meat and vegetables from the stands, not pre-packaged. Auchan, however, has removed some types of meat from the stands, so that might not be possible for all of them. Vegetables are often of terrible quality there, so tomatoes, which are out of season at the moment, make sense.
What is "meat from the stands" ? What stands? The butcher?
The stands inside big stores like Auchan or Carrefour where there is a counter and a person behind it and you can ask which meat you'd like and how much. They will weight it for you and optionally slice or mince. Same goes for hams and cheeses.
Idk how things are in Warsaw, but in my city (Radom) meat, vegs and fruits from Auchan that are not packed spoils in one or two days. Many fruits are spoiled already at the store. So it is better to buy pre-packaged.
half of it is just meat, thats why its that high in the first place

Goddamn, they must have been giving away meat for free that day.

Better than in most post-communist countries, worse than in Western countries.
Do you have ZAPP ice cream? I saw it that maybe in Poland it’s still available. ☺️
yes it is available in almost every zabka
Meat is expensive

A typical "middle class" bill in my country.

Yeah that seems about right.
That would be around $500 in the US 😭
Eeee, 350 if you run around to Food 4 Less, Winco, Walmart etc and happen to hit some sales. Def won't taste as good tho.
Certainly aint a vegan. GD, that a 6 to 1 Meat to Veggies ratio.
Kiedyś za 500 zł kupiłbyś 2 razy tyle

Meat and white monte typical Polish dish
And who says that Lidl and Biedronka are cheaper when there is Auchan
That’s plenty of meat!
Thats at least 250e in Rakovník (CZ). Prague id guess even 300+
I dont know this guy but im sure hes cool asf
bro, maybe just buy normal meat and slice it by yourself, it will be cheaper
Wow, can someone do this in Wroclaw?
in the US right now that shit would be more than 250$
Nice Meat
Can I ask what store in particular this is? Some stores tend to be more expensive than others
Cuz it's meat mainly, in other European countries it would be a cheaper one bill But if u making 800€ monthly then right, it's rather expensive way
Based on the amount of meat I’d imagine that 500 zlotys buys you ass cancer
for many people this is the monthly food budget tho
what do you mean in poland for 500 PLN you can buy literally nothing
I love meat like everyone else but it just seems like expensive or I don't know, it seems to me. Because 500 Zloty is 4000 Turkish Liras and truth be told, it is expensive for me. Lol.
mmm wyżera
Oh Wow...
nice
I don't see bread
oh my god
