Two adults and a baby, and we live very comfortably on £100 a week, we use the markets for food and eat out at least twice a week, we dont drink much alcohol and we dont use the tourist restaurants.
If living here then the average amount will increase as you need to bring in routine maintenence costs, wear and tear etc but that wont concern you yet.
Good luck with your plans.

Canim.....thats two....covers the lot all bills, food, eating out as I said and there is always a plentiful supply of falling down water in the fridge! We don't run a car as we find the Turkish transport system very good and it perhaps would not cover say new white goods or a hifi etc. :)

Canim

if you use the search facilty you will find this topic covered in many areas - heres one
{A Link to an old CBF topic was here - no longer available}2981&whichpage=1&SearchTerms=bekir

Depending on how things pan out for you will also depend on your needs from portable telly (1yr stay) to plasma screen (eventual perm stay), that bits up to you.

As most people will tell you try, migros, erin spot and any of the other that you find in the search options, approx £100-£150 each for average, if you get a satelitte receiver/dvd player then you do not need a hi-fi as it will play cd/dvd's.

best wishes

Wishing you the best of luck, not that you will need it though! Living as a local is so much better than living as a tourist! You learn so much more! and its cheaper! lol
Take care! :D:D

Good luck Canim.  After the day I've had I wish I was joining you.  It's cold and damp, my jobs been c**p and I'm fed up!!  However, don't you worry about a thing!  just go and have a good time, don't worry about the money, if you drink spirits take them with you.  You can get some wine's quite cheaply (as we found out last month from our little corner shop - 2.5 TL per bottle and it wasn't bad).
Take care and have a great time!
Elsa
