Life / New To Warsaw. Where can i buy household items, bedding etc? [25]

Generally where you're living, Stary Mokotow, is an old area of Warsaw which is quite desirable

Thank you so much, Krecik. I will try to visit all those places :)

About the prices, I don't mind paying MORE for good food and produce.
What I want for cheap are the household items that I will be leaving behind anyways :)

In Wolumen they sell their produce straight from the cracky wooden crates it was collected in.

Awesome, that's how we try to buy our veggies and fruits in Montreal as well :)

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be checking out Wolumen as well :)

As for buying fresh produce....I wouldn't buy anything in the supermarkets

Thank you for the advice!
As I already mentioned, I prefer to buy food at markets rather than stores :) I'll make sure to check out Hala Mirowska!

Without knowledge of Polands life style and geography

Thanks. I might not be very familiar with Poland but I have spent my fair share of time in Romania. Czech Republic and Ukraine, so I am pretty sure I can manage the Polish lifestyle just fine :)

Wherever I go, I usually tend to stay away from "Americanized" stuff and I go for the local culture. I'd rather cook my own pierogies then buy a frozen pizza. I'd rather have local beer then Bud.

I'd rather learn the language then try to speak English to everyone.

And I love discovering, so "geographical" knowledge is not an issue. As long as I know the names of the places where I need to go - I'll manage :)

Hi, folks!
I am arriving to Warsaw on March 6th and will be staying there for a few months.

I rented a small furnished flat at Pole Mokotowskie Metro, however it's missing a few things. I'd need to buy some sheets, pots, pens and a a few other household items.

So here are a few questions:
- Where can I buy used pots and pens? (because I'll have to leave them there, don't want to buy too many new things)

- Where can I buy cheep sheets and pillows?

- Are there any bazars close to Pole Mokowskie? Whenever I travel I prefer to buy fresh foods from markets rather than stores.

- Are supermarkets better than small stores? (price, selection, etc). Are there any big supermarkets not too far from my flat?

Thank You!

Alex

Thanks Jon and Maniak.

Very helpful information. I am under 30 and I usually try to travel for cheap so I'll stick to the bus and metro ;)
Rented a flat in Warsaw for a few months, can't wait to discover a little bit of Poland :D

That's among the craziest suggestions I've ever heard here.

ZTM route planner also suggests that I take the S2 train and then the 17tram...

However, you are suggesting that I take the 175 bus from the airport and get off at Centrum metro station. Then take the metro to Pole Mokowskie station.

Is that correct?

Thank You so much for your replies. I will bookmark the route planning site ;)

Maniak - do you mean that a Taxi from the Airport to Pole Mokotowskie will cost 20Pln? Because I read somewhere that this will cost at least 50 Pln...

Hello, folks!
In a few weeks I'll be traveling to Warszawa.

I need to get from the Airport to Pole Mokotowskie metro.
As far as I understand, I will take the red SKM train to the Central Station. Now what's the best way from Central Station to Pole Mokotowskie, metro?

Also, is the train ticket valid for metro or buses?

Thank You!
