Kipa

That's nearly as cheap as Tesco sell Efes for in the UK!

Anyone hearing a fracas in car park today will have witnessed a Turk objecting to me reversing into a parking bay.  He was very aggressive, so I  saw red and reversed at him.......

[cheers]

Did you hit his car then?

[Rindaloo]

LOL, no. Car park crowded, one person gave up getting into  the space front ways, so I decided to reverse in. I stopped to reverse and this chap stopped behind me and began hooting.  So I pointed at the space and he began hooting and waving that I should go on, I pointed again and he went nuts.  SO I slowly reversed, forcing him to get out of my way.  I so wished I was driving a Sherman tank though!  

Incidentally, when we exited the supermarket, someone had parked by me, occupying two spaces with the white line smack bang under their car.

Seems a little less busy at Kipa now, you women seem to be finding a space

16.00 - I went, I saw but I didn't conquer anything!! Kipa was uninspiring, nothing new - in fact there was LESS of the "nothing new" than any other store. Pricewise the same as Migros, Tansas and Carrefoure. Dull to the extreme in my opinion - but good for those who get through two large tins of cooking oil a week.  The only good thing about it, the building looks impressive but don't be fooled, they even measured the car parking bays with Mini's in mind. If you want your car to have that all over "dent" look it's the place to go.  They were giving a 10tl voucher if you spent 50tl.  I was hardpressed to spend 50 kurus - Migros needn't worry about a drop in profit because of it's arrival.

Looks like Fethiye is the poor relation - yet again.

8 x 500cc cans of Efes 17.90!!!!!

Not overly impressed, but, it is very handy for me, so will go again and again.

Still chaotic at 8pm - cars stopped from going in until one came out but I was waved in on my moped!!  

Not really cheap at all (only the specials).
It is 5 minutes from us but I will remain a loyal BIM & A101 happy shopper!!!

Was there this afternoon.  Not impressed, like everyone else.  Selling same stuff as Tansas, Migros and Carrefor, beer on special offer but for how long?  Prices much the same as the other three.  We will still go there though as it is on our side of the town and therefor is the closest if we only want groceries.

It was interesting watching the Turkish men looking bemused at the 23Tl Tesco power drill, listening to items being broken due to the volume of people in there (witnessed one poor guy nearly demolishing a display of glass bottled drinks) and the confusing exit signs.  One sign had you going out through the garage, which caused a mini traffic jam, and one exit sign had you going out around the back of the store, which was clear and I took this one.  

We went past the store at 09.30 this morning, true to form they were still finishing the road junction.  Plus there were a lot of ex-pats sitting on the walls waiting for the store to open.

Should be worth a visit over the next few days for the entertainment value alone.
