Prices for fruits and vegetables keep many Poles awake at night. The theme of high prices often recurs in Donald Tusk’s campaigns. The leader of the “Civic Platform” photographed himself buying tomatoes at a space price. Meanwhile, you can pay much less for them. You just need to know where to look.
Inflation is breaking records, and high prices translate into smaller purchases by Poles. According to data from the Central Statistical Bureau on Tuesday, sales fell 5% year-on-year. Compared to January, the Poles bought 3.6 percent. less. Those who do not refuse to buy popular products can often experience shock at the checkout.
In such a situation, it is not surprising that the drozina became one of the leading motives for the campaign on the side of the opposition. On Thursday, Donald Tusk, who is in Zawiercie, went to the market. The leader of the Civic Platform was photographed buying vegetables. Attention was drawn to the price of tomatoes, which the politician was tempted to buy. The chairman of the OP paid 34 zł per kilogram of domestic raspberry tomatoes. “Expensive, expensive, PiS” summed up his spending the former prime minister.
Where to buy tomatoes cheaper?
While you can often find tomatoes for around PLN 30, you can also find much better deals. In search of the aforementioned, the editors of Wprost Biznes went to the market in the province of Mazovia. Our journalist visited the market in New Town last week. In a city located about 80 km from the center of Warsaw, he faced prices from a completely different world. As he said, for raspberry tomatoes (the country of origin is not indicated) it was necessary to pay 12.99 zł per kilogram.
This is less than 40 percent. the price of goods that Donald Tusk reached out for. Even cheaper were regular red tomatoes. They could be bought at a price of PLN 7.99 per kilogram. Plum tomatoes cost only PLN 4.99/kg.
A visit to the market clearly showed that this is a place where Poles willingly go in search of cheaper goods. Almost all fruits and vegetables, especially domestic ones, can be found there at prices lower than in stores. You can also buy eggs much cheaper than in the supermarket.
