Citizens, who are struggling economically with the exorbitant price increases and trying to survive against the bad economy, will continue to struggle with troubles in the holy month of Ramadan. Citizens who have not been able to leave their homes with the pandemic for 2 years see the absence of restrictions in Ramadan this year as an opportunity after 2 years, but this time they are faced with expensiveness.
THE "PRICES" LIMITED THE FIRST RAMADAN WITH NO RESTRICTIONS!
The economic crisis, which started with the pandemic and then worsened with the war with Russia and Ukraine, continues to bend the back of the citizen in every aspect of his-her life. Citizens who have spent Ramadan at home for 2 years due to pandemic restrictions, although there is no restriction in Ramadan this year, this time they are stuck with economic price restrictions. While the exorbitant price increases that hit the kitchen shopping cause the citizens to turn to savings when they put food on their table, high menu prices will also meet the citizens who want to have iftar outside.
THERE ARE IFTAR MENUS FROM 100 TL TO 250 TL
With the effects of the economic crisis that started with the pandemic, prices increased day by day, and the increase in food, energy and labor prices was also reflected in the iftar menus. This year, the most suitable iftar menu starts from 100 Turkish Liras (TL) and goes up to 1,250 TL. A family of 4 who want to have their iftar meal at the lowest restaurant has to sacrifice 400 TL for one iftar. While the prices are between 150-750 TL in restaurants on average, they start from 300 TL in open buffets and restaurants in hotels and go up to 1,300 TL.
