Plums on the market stand in Poland. ( mariusz_prusaczyk (123RF))
There is a traveling PX in Poland. Once a month the PX truck comes to Poznań. In addition, Powidz and Żagań host small PXs. Currently there is no commissary available.
The cost of living in Poland is among the most inexpensive in the European Union (EU). Dining out and buying groceries is generally cheaper than in most other European cities but imported items will be significantly more expensive.
Camp Kosciuszko is about one to two miles from the main business district in Poznan; however, there are also parks, shopping options, apartments and grocery stores a couple of blocks off-post.
You’ll need a 50 cent or one euro coin to insert into shopping carts for use.
Weigh your produce before checking out.
Bring reusable bags for your groceries.
If you forget a bag, you may pay for one at the register.
Stores are closed on Sunday and holidays.
