According to her, the choice in the bazaar is huge, and it is impossible to cover it completely. Every year she makes a small survey of prices in the local market, and this time she decided to track whether the cost of vegetables and fruits will change before and after the presidential election. Due to expectations of a depreciation of the Turkish lira after the elections, prices may change significantly upwards.
Interestingly, the evening market in Turkey has its own characteristics compared to the morning one. Prices during the day can vary greatly for the same products. In the comments to previous articles, people shared their observations about prices, which can vary significantly. For example, one man bought cherry tomatoes for 80 rubles, while the author was able to find them for 32 rubles, and later they were generally sold for 20 rubles. for 1 kg.
“There is a belief that everything is freshest in the morning, and therefore people prefer to go in the morning. In many ways, this statement is true, especially during the hot months. But the bulk of the sellers bring their trucks with goods and place them in their trading places in the evening. So fresh vegetables and fruits spend the night there, in the bazaar – and some wander unsold from bazaar to bazaar. The same products that sell well are brought to the market during the day, including from refrigerators. So the chance to buy fresh in the evening is no less than early in the morning, ”the Russian woman specified.

And this is what a Russian woman told about stale products . If earlier sellers did not dare to sell completely spoiled products, now everywhere you can see how rotting vegetables or fruits are sold at almost the same price as good fruits. And in places where the prices of a product that would be better written off are a little cheaper, there is a rush and queues, mainly from Turkish women who, due to gigantic inflation, are looking for ways to save money.
