Small Lithuanian town's market offers treasures with prices to like

A visit to the market in the small Lithuanian town of Kupiškis offered a delightful experience for travelers Orijus Gasanovas and Indrė Bareikienė, showcasing a range of affordable goods and local charm. The Delfi TV show "Orijaus atostogos Lietuvoje" (Orijus's Holidays in Lithuania) featured the duo exploring the market, which they found to be not only budget-friendly but also a source of unique finds.

Which flower can be without care, tell me… Like a woman – if you don't take care of her, she will wither.

Bareikienė inquired about low-maintenance flowers from a vendor, who humorously compared caring for plants to caring for women: "If you don't take care of her, she will wither." The pair ultimately purchased a pelargonium, paying in cash. They then browsed clothing and accessories, where a pair of socks cost one euro, and handbags were priced at 10 euros, with a larger set including two smaller bags and a wallet available for 30 euros.

One pair of socks – one euro.

Vendor Danutė offered a wide array of household items, from wet wipes to dumpling makers and cookware. She presented a new medical-grade metal frying pan, emphasizing its safety even if the surface is scratched, selling it for 45 euros. Bareikienė received a five-euro discount on the pan, which she purchased.

10 euros and the handbag is yours.

The market's produce section also impressed the visitors. A kilogram of tomatoes cost 4 euros, and potatoes were 1.20 euros. They also found locally gathered chanterelle mushrooms from the Šimonys forest for 5 euros and a box of blackcurrants for 4 euros. Gasanovas remarked, "I like these prices," expressing his satisfaction with the market's affordability.
