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.
