With the economic crisis, the cheap queues that we are used to seeing in Turkey are getting longer and longer in front of butchers, markets, bakeries, greengrocers and any store with discounts.
Recently, especially after the exorbitant hikes in meat and delicatessen products, citizens have started to seek discounts in markets and butchers. A long discount queue formed in front of a butcher in Istanbul Güngören, which was making a campaign on chicken meat and minced meat. The scene created by many people waiting in line for hours to buy meat suitable for their budget, revealed how much the purchasing power has decreased in Turkey. On the other hand, long queues continue to form in front of some businesses where oil, bread, flour and fruits and vegetables are sold cheaply.
CHEAPNESS QUEUES SHOW HOUSEHOLD PURCHASE POWER
The queue formed in front of the butcher, who organized a campaign in Istanbul Güngören, almost summarized the point Turkey has reached. Reduced the price of a 1 kg minced meat from 145 Turkish Liras (TL) to 100 TL, and the price of a 1 kg chicken meat from 47 TL to 39 TL. Citizens formed a long queue in front of the butcher to buy cheap meat.
The cheapness queues that we are used to seeing in our country reveal the level of the household's purchasing power. Citizens, who cannot imagine red meat on the table, are now looking for a discount even on chicken meat. Today, citizens wait for hours in front of butchers as well as markets, bakeries, greengrocers and any discount store to buy products that fit their budget.
COUNTRY OF QUEUES
In our country, cheapness queues have become a necessity for citizens. Besides cheap meat, the main queues are for cheap bread and cheap oil. Many citizens who wanted to buy oil for 10 TL cheap in the past months had formed a queue of meters long.
On the other hand, the high bread prices in Istanbul forced people to gather in front of the People's Bread (İHE) kiosks. Many people who have been waiting for hours in front of People’s Bread kiosks to buy cheap bread have complained to the point where the economic bottleneck has come. The economic crisis is increasing day by day in Turkey, where the living of minimum wage earners, civil servants, retirees and low-income families has become increasingly difficult to live.
