Social media buzzes over unexpected haircut prices in Polotsk

In the heart of Polotsk, Belarus, a girl and her boyfriend recently found themselves at an open market, drawn by the allure of street skewers. However, what they encountered was a surprise - the cost of the meal was 54 rubles, a sum that left them and many Belarusians expressing shock.

The meal consisted of two large pork chops, two chicken skewers, a side of cabbage, and two slices of bread. Despite finding it delicious, the couple were unable to finish it all and took some leftovers home.

The incident was reported by the website Charter-97.org, a platform that encourages its followers to support them on various social media platforms. The article, published during city celebrations in Polotsk, does not provide information on why street sausages in Polotsk became expensive at that time.

Despite the high cost of the meal, the girl from Polotsk expressed her delight, stating that the meal was delicious. This incident serves as a reminder of the fluctuating costs of everyday items in Belarus, and the ongoing conversation about affordability and economic stability.
