WHAT WILL $1 and $100 BUY IN POLAND?

How do Polish prices compare to those in the USA for basic goods:
1 kg bread
1 kg potatoes
1 kg smoked kiełbasa (eg Podwawelska)
1 kg curd cheese (twaróg)
dozen eggs
1 1/2-litre bottle beer
Snickers bar
1 T-shirt
1 US gallon (3.8 l) petrol
Big Mac
large pizza
blank CD
pair of socks
etc., etc.

A Big Mac is basic goods is it?

US$3.23
6.90 Zloty

Roughly.

$2.71/gal in tx...

2.71$ per gallon in Poland? o_O you must be kidding... what kind of gass? why is it said then that some drive to Belorussia to fill up their tanks?

wow...
gasoline - 2.71 dollars per gallon in Texas, USA
clear now?

that's the price in here, i don't know about PL...

Ok sorry now clear... still cheap. When I left it was 4$ per gallon in WA.

In Poland a litre of unleaded petrol or a litre of diesel will cost you 4.63 zloty.

That is according to: aaroadwatch.ie/eupetrolprices :)

That's about $1.76 I think...

$6.70 a gallon!! and we are complaining in the US of our prices.

A lot of the food basic necessities are more expensive in PL. But then again most of it is organic and tastes a lot better. You get what you pay for.

There isn't much you can buy in the US for $1 anymore. maybe some useless $1 Store crap lol

more fun news for you all.

A loaf of bread is 1.5 pln, about 80 american pence
A beer is 5 pln which is about 2 american pounds
Petrol has gone down and is a Bargain at 4.10 pln which is about 1 dollar 60
Cigarettes are 8 pln so 4 dollars.

You can live fairly well on 500 pln per week.

It's been along time since i've seen a beer for 5pln unless its maly or in the shop.
Not in krakow, warsaw, poznan or wroclaw

you keyed in on the most important economic factor.... the price of a local beer (not imports). AND is the beer good and worth the price, low or high you pay.

Anyone want to list beer prices in the major cities in P-land vs the countryside?

You are welcome. Rent is the money you pay to use something for a period of time.

Works both ways see?

I know what rent is.. :) how much is rent these days is the question I was trying to say.

3.0 today.

You know I am not sure what people are actually getting because I see a lot of listings that never get rented for the same prices. They seem to prefer and empty flat to lowering the price.

I pay 1400 for a 2 room 40sqm flat in the center but have had it a while. I am seeing 2000in listings for the same.
