Where do you go shopping for food in Poland?

hi
i'm doing a stupid school project and i have a few questions!

in poland where do you go shopping for food? do you go to the super market?
if so what is the super market called in polish?

They look for food under rocks or dig in the sand.

that dosn't help me :(

People in the cities of Poland go to supermarkets mostly (called "supermarkety", "hipermarkety" or "sklepy spozywcze"). In the country they usually have their own foods, crops, fruit trees etc., but they still have smaller "supermarkets" and it seems nowadays even people from the country drive to big supermarkets as the prices are lower there.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

gee, I didn't know that!

lool, yeah... and they bake bread, make butter and so on by themself.... and for meat they kill animals... of course it isn't true ;P They have some fruits and vegetables, some of them have animals like chicken, pigs, .. but they're not for every day eating... most of them just buy food in local shops...

thats hilarious lmao

i would have just said "a shop" sorry british humour came out of me when i saw the thread title!

And often you can get veggies at a little street kiosk. Or, there will be a market area with multiple kiosks. Or just someone on the sidewalk with an array of boxes of veggies.

But there are lots of supermarkets as jam packed with food as any western one, unlike in the '80s when I was first in Poland, when both the stores and the markets were very sad and understocked.

Check out this picture we took in Krakow, actually in Nowa Huta:

We live in a small village, so grow veg, have chickens, ducks and pigs for meat. The local shop has lots of great stuff, so not a great need to leave the village. Into the major town 10kms away there are 100's of shops from normal small stores to massive supermakets, normal really I find it very good, better than the UK for me were I am from. I find it very easy to get fresh good food anywhere. Places to eat out during the day or night are plenty and most seem to serve great food. I would say its as good as anything in New York, but less chance of being mugged. When in the big city we go to Real, M1 Center, Częstochowa.
