Polish supermarket chain Biedronka is gearing up for Tłusty Czwartek, or Fat Thursday, which falls on February 27, 2025, with enticing promotions on its popular pastries. This festive day traditionally celebrates the indulgence of sweets before Lent begins, and Biedronka is offering discounts on various baked goods, making it the perfect opportunity for sweet tooths to indulge.
Beginning from February 24 through February 26, customers can enjoy "Sweet Fest," during which they can purchase delicious pączki (Polish donuts) at reduced prices. Specifically, pączki filled with marmalade will be available for just 79 groszy each when six are bought, reflecting a significant 27% discount from the regular price of 1.09 zł per piece.
Biedronka won't only stick to traditional flavors, as the chain introduces exciting new varieties such as pistachio and white chocolate, advocaat, and chocolate-hazelnut fillings, with prices starting around 2.49 zł. To boost sales even more, there’s also the 5+1 promotion, where customers get one pączek free with the purchase of six.
Donut lovers are not left out either; Biedronka is featuring various flavors of donuts during the celebrations. A unique promotion allows for mixing and matching, enhancing the shopping experience for customers.
Last year's Tłusty Czwartek saw pączki flying off the shelves at incredibly low prices, with Biedronka selling them for as little as 29 groszy during bulk purchases, along with instances of them being offered for free with additional purchases. Such competitive pricing has spurred excitement among consumers who eagerly anticipate similar deals this year.
Shoppers can look forward to even more promotional offers leading up to Fat Thursday. For those interested not just in pączki, but also the ingredients for homemade pastries, Biedronka is running additional discounts on staples such as flour, butter, and eggs as well. For the day before the big event, customers can take advantage of a special oil promotion where you can get 1+1 free on select brands, but only when the special coupon is activated through the Biedronka app.
On February 25, the discounts continue with promotions on flour, where buying two packs ensures one is free—and also with egg promotions where the second one is sold at 70% off. The final promotional day, February 26, will feature bonuses on milk and sugar, with superb savings for customers.
Tłusty Czwartek marks not only the end of indulgence before the fasting period, but also provides shopping joy for customers as they watch the aisles of Biedronka fill with various tempting treats at irresistible prices. The chain's dedicated effort to create excitement and offer competitive prices on traditional pastries alongside new flavors has made it much anticipated amid the festivities.
With the combination of old favorites and new concoctions, Biedronka has set the stage for Tłusty Czwartek 2025. Whether customers opt for traditional pączki or choose to explore innovative flavors, one thing is clear: Biedronka is committed to making this day sweeter and more affordable for everyone.
