Food On A Budget

Right, so it's wages day tomorrow...and, as we all know, the day before is always a struggle. So I am rather peckish and heading round to Kefirek in about 20 mins...any reccommendations for good things to buy for 19pln that will keep me full up all night?

By the way I am not looking for anything particularly polish, or healthy, or anything other than filling (and hopefully tasty) and cheap.

Go for it!

bread butter and cheese work fine

That's what I thought...i reckon if i walk the extra 5 minutes to Tesco I can grab some tesco value stuff and have a feast :)

What's a good daily food budget for one person in Poland?
20zl? 50zl? 100zl?

100zl! haha where are you eating!

Depending on what you likve to eat I can safely say eating student style I can eat on 20zl per day.

:)

I didn't know, that's why I was throwing out some random numbers.

What would someone expect to eat for a 20zl budget? modest sandwiches, well cooked meals, etc etc?

For 20pln you can eat quite a bit in a bar Mleczny...but i don't know where my nearest one is.

So I went to Tesco, got some bread, TVL light spread, TVL Cheese, some meat selection that was cheap and a 1kg TVL pizza...all for the modest 16pln. Oh, and some fish fingers.

Not the best in quality or health...but it will keep me fed for the next 9 hours or so before i fall asleep.

A gigantic zapiekanka can cost you only 6PLN. Huge bread rolls here are 50 or 60gr. Throw some cheese on and you have a cheap meal.

Yeah, you can pick up a decent budget pizza too.

i can eat a full meal (albeit veggie) for 10zl, 12 with drink, a pot of tea is 3. almost more than you can put in your stomach at one time. good quality and taste. they use organic veggies when possible

Well it's difficult because you have to multiply that by say 7 and then go to the supermarket and spend the money but for that you can have noodles, sausages, rice, chicken, crisps, vegetables, ect ect the list goes on.

I think even 20zl is alot the more I think about it.

In answer to your question I think cold breakfast a small hot lunch and then a cooked dinner is possible for this budget.

All this is dependant on yourself of course!

well you figure there must be ways to live cheap. otherwise how do the older people on pensions get by on 800 zl a month or whatever it is they get
