‘Tis the season for questionable shopping decisions and overspending! Although this is not a saying in Polish, it’s a useful and funny phrase, especially for this time of year! So if you’re out shopping with Polish-speaking friends and family and you maybe stumble on something tempting but expensive, you can drop this in conversation to shock and amaze — whether or not you actually buy the coveted item :-)

Odwróć = turn away [imperative, instructing a ‘you’ singular, informal]
Się = (your)self [reflective helper word]
Od = from [preposition]
Ceny = price [singular, obj. form]
