Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]
It's true that some things are still cheaper in Poland than in the UK such as transport, cigarettes and booze (you can do without the last two). However, I still believe the Polish consumer gets a very raw deal. Patak's pickles are about £1.40 in UK (Tesco) and at least four times dearer in Poland. The cheapest bar of shop's own soap (Tesco) is larger and cheaper in UK than in Poland, where you pay three times more for half as much. There is no reason why prices should generally be so high in Poland than in countries where wages are much higher. I smell a rat somewhere. So what are we going to do about it, apart from moan on the internet?
