Biedronka is a discount store. You have low prices there. There are several, if not a dozen, types of supermarkets in Poland, and each one has half of the assortments that are not available elsewhere. If you want to see a large selection, go to large stores in large cities. You will then find, for example, several dozen types of sausages, frankfurters and other products. Poland is a huge agricultural country. The apples you were surprised to learn are Polish products. We produce 25% of their total production worldwide.

"Biedronka" is owned by a Portuguese Jerónimo Martins international group.
A lot of brand names in Biedronka (yes, that means Ladybug), are made specifically for this shop by other, more well-known brands. So e.g. a hand cream "BeBeauty" may be made by Eveline or Tołpa (TORF Corporation), depending on which firm managed to secure a contract.
Those strawberries are not really good, they are most probably from Spain and are not as tasty as our "Truskawki Kaszubskie" (Kashubian strawberries), which are in season in summer holidays.

Fun fact about Biedronka - there's a small general section in front of the Store with toys, books, houshold items, etc. But from time to time they would have music cds there. But not only eurodance or disco polo party mixes (They had those too), but serious, genuine rock albums, from the likes of Aerosmith, Rush, Offspring, Rainbow, Nirvana, REM Guns'n'Roses, Kiss and so on. But it get's even weirder - They would have Iggy Pop, Frank Zappa, Anthrax, Megadeth and even Slayer. Yeah, nothing beats enhancing your beef steak with a healthy helping of God Hates Us All.

Biedronka is not considered a supermarket, it's a market - it's way smaller than a supermarket, while still having a great variety of produce and low prices (and great deals, especially if you have a Biedronka card/app). Because they are quite small, there can be so many of them in many different locations, which is great because there is always a Biedronka nearby. It's very convenient because you don't need to go and waste your time in a huge mall every single time. I do 95% of my daily shopping in markets like Biedronka or Lidl and I rarely go to real supermarkets.

..and as few already mentioned - Biedronka is a semi size supermarket, kind of Coop size, or smaller Sainsburys in UK. Then you have the big, Asda or Tesco like supermarkets, also local veg shops. Our 7/11 is called "Zabka" - another animal name, for frog this time :) Zabka's are open 24/7 often, otherwise you would just go to the petrol station, and these are similar to the UK ones - sweets, beers, hot dogs, chicken goujons, cheese packs, cola, pasta, sandwiches.

Hi I'm from Poland. I love how you are surprised about the choice, and we have a lot of stores that have twice of that, like german Kaufland also very popular and Lidl, but this is too much imo 😂 you can read from what country the products are because people called "Agrounia" fought for that - its a deep consument and producing economic fight about 7-8 years ago. Since we are in EU. Many economics are connected. Ours is most connected with Germany, so IT was a situation that supermarkets were forcing german lower quality potatos for example, longer transportation, class B etc. You know. And the price was the same or even higher for them than the Polish ones with better quality, and you couldnt buy Polish potatos at the certain time. Only from a farmer "somewhere". So now we know what we buy 😊

Most popular polish supermarket, but due to various reasons it has been a subject of memes and laughter. Personally, I go there everyday, cause it's closest to me and fairly cheap.
2:00 - In Poland nowadays, by the decision of the government, there are Sundays on which shops are opened (really few throughout a year), and those on which shops are closed (majority of time). The aim of this decision was to give people working in shops free Sundays as it is, in the government view, the time of rest.
2:47 - As far as I know, the majority of products in Biedronkas is local, but of course, as there is no avocados or other tropical fruits growing in Poland, we import them.
4:02 - Yeah, we used to be among the top 5 biggest apple exporters in the world. Not sure how it is now, though.
7:33 - It depends. Compared to UK, maybe we eat a bit less of snacks, but I wouldn't be so sure. Especially with such wide choice of different kinds. Biedronka (and other supermarkets) have their own peculiar sweet brands that you can buy there and there only.
8:08 - Prince Polo is well-known even outside Poland, particularly liked in Iceland.
10:52 - She said bakery, but it must be noted that it's not fresh - they're just baking frozen products.

Biedronka is the cheapest and always has been. They have a large selection, but it's a consumer trap because if you buy small packages, you pay more. I am not satisfied with meats such as pork or chicken or deep sea fish such as pollock and silver carp are from your regions of the Indonesian seas and surrounding areas. You can do good shopping in Biedronka, but there is a lot of processed food there, so Biedronka is a store for the poorest and those who do not care about their health. I buy dry products in Biedronka, such as flour, sugar, pasta, groats, rice, etc. They have good and cheap coffee and exclusive high-quality sweets. Unfortunately, everything else is highly processed food, foreign food, including fresh products, which should be bought from local producers, in Biedronka are imported from other countries. A real Pole buys meat and cold cuts from a local butcher and fruits and vegetables at the market, because even if they are from a wholesaler, they are from a local wholesaler that receives goods from local farmers. Remember, when you are in Poland, support Polish producers and supermarket chains often have owners from other countries.
