Since moving to Poland, I have found it difficult to determine which Sundays are niedziele handlowe, so I made a web app whose sole purpose is to tell if the coming/current Sunday is niedzielą handlową. I’ll post a link in the comments, so you can use if you want to.

    I hope someone out there will find it useful.

    Edit: it seems that some people are upset by my post. I just want to say, that I did not mean to upset anyone, and that I mainly made this to practice coding and to save myself a few seconds on Sundays. I am sharing it here, because I thought other people might enjoy it too.

  2. Pro tip: just assume none of them are, and do your shopping from Mon to Sat.
    Problem sorted.

  5. niedziele handlowe are now only right before major holydays

  6. Whoaa living here 2 years and just found out about this!!! Thank youuuu

  9. What is this? I reckon it’s a kind of Sunday, but what exactly?

  10. There is literally just 7 of them in the whole year xD Makes way more sense to just mark the dates in the calendar instead of checking the app every sunday

  12. I’ve been living in Poland more than a year and still can’t get used to closed shops/malls and markets on Sundays. I know I am a guest and this is entirely up to locals to decide. But does it hurt everyone who don’t have time to do shopping during the week? It is like you have only one day for this and the same thing same time everyone else too. And the queues are twice as longer and people look more tired.

  15. Hi, just checking in to compliment your Polish! By the comments it seems really good ☺️

  16. American here: What does this determine? Niedzielą Handlową means Sunday Shopping, right? Is there some policy where you can only shop on certain Sundays?

  17. Don’t let the capitalists win every day of the week. There must be some balance in life. A day without buying shit that you don’t really need is a day that can be spent enjoying something meaningful.

  19. I’m Polish and I don’t remember which Sundays are niedziele handlowe and which aren’t either, lol. Honestly, this law makes no sense, life was so much easier when you could shop every day.

  20. Welcome to Poland, where logical way is mostly not the one implemented into law.

  22. I guess your tool will answers “Nie” in 99% cases 😁

  25. all you have to do is go on the biedronka website. they will make sure to let you know a week before that they are opened for you lmao
