Biggest discount and loyalty programs in Croatia: Guide for 2023

UPDATED: 13.7.2023.

Assimilation into Croatian culture is not just about speaking the language and understanding the importance of wind. It is also about ensuring you aren’t paying more than absolutely necessary.

Croatians LOVE good discounts, and they are pros at finding the lowest prices. The cost of living in Croatia is higher than it should be in comparison to the low salaries, and taxes are high, so every euro counts.

Some shops in Croatia offer rewards programs for card members, others offer discount prices on limited-time promotions, and some participate in big annual sales. We bring you a list of some of Croatian shops’ deepest discounts and loyalty programs.

Most supermarkets offer weekly discounts on specific items. They release the weekly deals in a printed leaflet, which may appear in your mailbox. You can also pick up the latest one at the store or view it posted at the entrance to the store, online, or on TV.
