Drink two cups of 3.2%, half a liter and that is 50% of your saturated fat intake for the day. I reckon most cornflake eaters can hit half a litre with white coffee/tea.

Drink 0% fat milk and you get none of that.

Who drinks a litre of milk in a day, or even half a litre?

I do.

Cheapest prepared soya milk is in Biedronka (availability varies from branch to branch, sometimes it seems to vanish from the shelves for months). 3.99zl 1 litre.

Most of the major supermarkets sell the better known brands for around 6 to 8zl.

You can get powdered soya milk too, works out at around 2zl a litre, from some health shops.

mochadot18: but does Polish 2% milk taste the same as U.S 2% milk??Probably not. I remeber thinking American milk tastes funny. So you may think the same with Polish Milk, there is a lot that can affect the taste.

I recall milk I had in Paris tasting different than the milk I had in Frankfurt and Munich. It also tasted different than milk in Wrocław vs the US.

Diet of the cows, age of the cows, their breed, stress levels, treatment of the milk itself (pasteurization, container, age, whether shelf stable or needing refrigeration, in an opaque or translucent container, etc.) all affect the flavor.

Use it all the time, I used to hate it.

Once I got used to it I prefer it now.

how has this not been censored by mods? I don't have a problem with how a thread goes- but many do.

coffee with skim milk- should never happen.

Than I can live on $ 1,200 American, in Warsaw?

Am still looking for the best deal on a flat.

I won't need a car to start with, and I can cook.

Any ideas, since, after I sell my home, I am moving to Warsaw, Poland, the land of my grandparents, and a place I grew to love, since my long visits.

Just about, but you'd have to be frugal. A lot depends on how much you pay for accommodation etc. You certainly won't be on the breadline but equally won't be able to save on that. Also remember Warsaw is the kind of city where a lot of people choose not to run a car.
