Would like to add. Although the inflation rate has gon up. But not like the 105% of the early 90's, it can still be quite cheap to live here.
Friday veg market. All veg for a week for two and maybe a fruit or two, 10 - 15 TL.
Although the meat seems epensive I get a cut of
beef(presumed not horse) at migross at 23 TL KG. (special) and this makes two roasts for us plus two meals for Charlie.
Add the cost to the veg and it works out at about 75 pence each for the three of us for a roast.
By the way I do it on the BBQ, so add another 3 - 5 tl.
We also found a new beer at 3 tl can and a white wine that if well chilled, is drinkable at 13 tl for 1.5 tl.
So it can be done but the electricity can gobble the moneyup.
