How much does it cost to live in Poland? How much money will you need to live in a Polish city on a daily basis? To assist you with these inquiries, we have compiled a brief cost-of-living guide, beginning with an overview of food prices in Poland.
As you might assume, the price of food varies widely depending on where you live (a small village or a large metropolis like Warsaw), where you shop (a corner store or a supermarket), and what brands you buy. Fruit and vegetable costs fluctuate throughout the year due to shifting demand and seasonal availability; for example, tomatoes might cost anywhere from PLN 5 (in summer) and PLN 15 (in winter). In general, the average cost of goods in Poland is noticeably lower than in Western Europe, so if you are used to eurozone price levels, you will be pleasantly pleased on your first shopping trip in Poland.
When it comes to restaurants and meal delivery services, you can easily locate a variety of low-cost options in Poland and eat to your heart's content without breaking the bank. To find some great-value eateries, search beyond the touristy districts, which tend to be the most expensive, and read online user evaluations.
