In the US, She Entered a Turkish Market, the Number at the Register Shocked Her!
A Turkish woman living in the US drew attention when she shared the receipt from her shopping at a Turkish market in Miami. Paying a total of $718.61 for items ranging from sausage to cheese, from simit to tea, the woman asked everyone the same question: 'So, how much would this basket cost in Turkey?'
Among the flavors most missed by Turks living in the United States are traditional products such as sucuk, cheese, simit, and tea. However, accessing these items in America can strain budgets, especially due to the high prices of imported foods. A woman living in Miami, who shares on social media under the username “amerikadaanneyim,” explained the details of her shopping trip at a Turkish market to her followers.
She Showed Each Item She Bought from the Turkish Market
In a video posted from her social media account, the woman opened her shopping bags and listed each item she bought, drawing particular attention to the abundance of sucuk and cheese varieties.The purchase included a large number of sucuk, salami, kaşar cheese, cream cheese, kaymak, yogurt, and ayran from various brands. Traditional staples of Turkish cuisine—simit, tea, mineral water, pickles, and tomato paste—were also added to the shopping cart.
Among the items the woman shared were four packs of Apikoğlu butcher sucuk, one pack of spicy sucuk, five packs of kaşar cheese, Pınar cream cheese, various kaymak, two packs of Sarıkız mineral water, Doğuş tea, and four packs of tomato paste.
From Poğaça to Bulgur, Turkish Cuisine Is Unbeatable
The shopping was not limited to just breakfast items. The woman bought seven packages of potato poğaça, six packages of Antep pistachios, four packages of Halley, dried beans, chickpeas, bulgur, and three packages of baldo rice as well.
The basket also included hot red peppers, various legumes, and cleaning products.The purchase, which contained products commonly used in Turkish cuisine, also brought to the fore the markets that Turkish residents in America prefer to access their familiar flavors.
The Checkout Total: 718,61 Dollar!
The most eye-catching part of the video was the disclosure of the total purchase amount.The woman stated that she paid 718 dollars 61 cents for all the items she bought. The woman, who shared the cost of her Turkish market purchase with her followers, requested a comparison of the prices with those in Turkey.
In his post, he asked, 'If the same shopping were done in Turkey, how much would it cost?' sparking a debate over the price gap between the two countries.
On the other hand, the fact that many items are purchased in multiple packages during shopping shows that product quantities must also be taken into account when evaluating the total amount.
How Much Does the Same Basket Cost in Turkish Lira?
The shopping carried out in Miami brought back the question of how much Turkish residents in the United States spend to access hometown flavors.While the post did not list individual prices, it announced that the total shopping amount was $718,61.
The question the woman posed to her followers became the most intriguing point of the story: If the same shopping basket filled with sucuk, cheese, simit, tea, and other Turkish products were prepared in Turkey, how much would be paid at the checkout?
