Why do Czechs buy five packs of toilet paper when they’re on sale? And why does every Czech home seem to have a collection of empty jars, bags and boxes?
In this episode, Monča talks about funny and surprisingly common Czech habits at home — from freezing bread and preserving food to covering a new sofa with a blanket and keeping a beautiful box of chocolates that nobody is allowed to eat.
You’ll also discover why some of these habits come from life during socialism, when things were harder to find or more expensive.
