The pocket does not even support the purchase of cereals.

High Inflation and the high cost of living make citizens think melancholy. It’s been 14 months since SÖZCÜ made a news, slice and gram on January 10 last year. While we spent a total of 58.23 TL on 16 products last year, we paid 159.20 TL for the purchases we made 14 months later with the same count of units, grams and slices. Thus, the money that came out of the citizen’s pocket, which he bought with grains to adjust to his budget, doubled in 1 year.

THE PRODUCTS ARE FINISHED

The peak cost of living causes citizens to buy fruits and vegetables, which they buy by weight, in grams, or even in grains. As SÖZCÜ, we spent a total of 58.23 TL on 16 food products that we bought in grains and grams during our shopping in Şişli, Istanbul on January 10, 2022. 14 months passed and on March 10, 2023 we bought the same products in the same places. After one year, we pay 159.20 TL for the products we buy. Compared to last year, 173 percent more money came out of our pockets. The greatest price difference between the products was observed in lamb bones, cheese, pomegranate and orange.

Orange became the champion on the walk.

End Orange was the product with the highest price increase among 16 products in 14 months. The price of oranges increased by 805.7 percent in this period. With a 705.4 percent increase in price, green peppers ranked second in the order of price increases. The price of a slice of feta increased by 421.1 percent, from 3.26 TL to 16.99 TL. The price of tomatoes also increased by 403.4 percent.

Even the pocket price of bone burns

Meat Citizens who cannot afford it buy bones and cook them with water. However, the price of bone, which for a time was used by butchers as waste, has skyrocketed, as has other products. While the price of 300 grams of lamb bone was 8.82 TL in January 2022, its price increased by 308% to 35.99 TL in March 2023. In this period, the smallest price increase was recorded in cauliflower with 22.2 percent.
