The first thing I noticed when I entered the store was that most of the products were imported. This applies not only to bananas (which is obvious), but also to strawberries and asparagus. Fortunately, after a while I was able to find Polish fruits and vegetables. I would like to point out that I did not conduct any investigation and if there was no information about the country of origin on the package or carton, I assumed that I was dealing with a substance from abroad. Only our local products were taken into account.
Unfortunately she was not very rich here. We have a much larger selection in market squares or fruit and vegetable stalls. There were very few Polish fruits and vegetables in both Lidl and Bedronka. I was able to find the yellow color at both discount stores green beans For PLN 49.99 per kg and butter lettuce for PLN 4.99. As for the rest of the products, there were some differences in prices and assortment.
Yellow green beans and butter lettuce are available at discount stores
The Polish strawberries in Lidl are beautiful but overpriced
In Biedronka we can buy rhubarb for PLN 11.99 per kilogram, raspberry tomatoes for PLN 16.99, baby Chinese cabbage for PLN 5.99, and white asparagus for PLN 12.59 per half kilogram.
At Lidl, half a kilo of green asparagus costs PLN 16.99 (more expensive than white asparagus from the competition). The offer also includes green beans for PLN 11.99 per half kilo (much cheaper than yellow beans). Chinese cabbage costs PLN 6.99 per kilogram, while raspberry tomatoes cost less, PLN 14.99 per kilogram.
I have the impression that the selection at Lidl is a little bigger, but the prices are also a little higher than at Biedronka. Of course, it all depends on our preferences. You should also keep in mind that stores in different locations may have slightly different assortments.
In this text, I did not mean to compare competing discount stores, but to check whether it makes sense to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables there. I choose the small vendors in the market squares. And of course I will still go to Lidl and Biedronka to buy dairy products; Meat or bulk products, which are available here at great prices and you can often find very favorable promotions.

This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
