What surprises Komarovka in Minsk has to offer: grapes for 2 rubles and bizarre cucumbers
Tochka.by journalists, as usual, took a walk through Komarovka before the weekend to find out what is a bargain and who has jacked up prices on their produce.
Winter is right around the corner, but juicy fruits and berries are still being sold briskly at the seasonal market.
Buying apples is still a great deal—starting from one ruble per kilogram. Pears, however, are holding their price—5–12 rubles.
Bright orange persimmons of various varieties are taking over more and more of the market. They cost 3–12 rubles per kilogram.
Meanwhile, watermelons and melons are down to the last ones, priced at 2.9 and 7.5 rubles, respectively.
Bananas are a bargain—running 2.9–5 rubles per kg. There are also very cheap grapes—for 2 rubles per kilogram. The most expensive ones are 22.
Oranges cost 3–15 rubles. The best-value tangerines are just three rubles per kilogram, averaging 5–9 across the market.
Lemons go from 6 up to 30 rubles per kilogram. By the way, if you look around, you can also find citrus fruits at a deep discount.
Berries can also still be found. Only imported strawberries remain—at 40–60 rubles per kilogram, while blueberries are 100.
Among local berries, cranberries sell for 10–11 rubles per kilogram and lingonberries for 15–16.
Fewer and fewer cucumbers
The vegetable selection is typical, but prices are rising. Dirt-cheap potatoes can only be found from a couple of sellers—from 0.79 per kg. The rest already want more—2.5–4 rubles per kilogram.
Cabbage sells for 0.8–3 rubles per kg, carrots for 1–4, and beets for 1.9–4.5 rubles.
This time, cheap onions were spotted—starting from 1.59 rubles per kilogram. As a rule, they are noticeably more expensive at the market than in supermarket chains.
Peppers are also climbing in price. Cheaper options will cost around 5 per kilogram, while expensive ones reach 12.
Cucumber prices caused the biggest shock. Yes, there are budget options—at 3 rubles per kilogram, but the market average sits around 8–12 rubles.
The cheapest tomatoes go for 3 rubles, averaging around 5–10 rubles.
There are also plenty of pumpkins, at 3–6 rubles per kg. It's convenient that they slice them—you can purchase just a small piece.
Garlic costs 9–20 rubles per kilogram. Eggplants remain a bargain—at 2.9–8 rubles per kg.
There are no wild mushrooms left, only dried porcini. Cultivated button mushrooms go for 7–11 rubles per kilogram.
The price of fresh herbs is also creeping up. The most basic variety costs 15–30 when calculated per kilogram, but that is still cheaper than in supermarkets.
