We bought the fruits and vegetables that go to the table of the citizens in Ramadan, one by one, and compared their prices.
According to the calculations we made on the prices, the cost of a menemen made with pepper, 1 onion and 3 tomatoes comes to 19.3 TL, excluding eggs.
According to the same calculation, if a family of 4 wants to eat an apple, it costs 18.96 TL.
