On Saturday 10th May I’d arranged to go to the weekly market with Vanessa. I took her suitcase back to her which Captain Caveman had used to bring all the English products over in, last month.
I had my shopping list at the ready and I had popped 700 lira (£14) in to my pocket, assuming that would be enough. I actually spent a little bit over but I did buy strawberries, bananas and olives which added to the cost more than I had planned. Here’s what I bought with the prices per stall in lira;
Stall 1
Potatoes & onions 45 lira (87p)
Stall 2
Spinach, radishes, peppers, aubergines and courgettes 100 lira (£1.94)
Stall 3
2 punnets of Strawberries 300 lira (£5.81)
Stall 4
Olives 100 lira (£1.94)
Stall 5
Banana and apples 190 lira (£3.68)
Total spent 735 lira (£14.24)
I was still pleased with what I had purchased for the price but I definitely was noticing the costs of things rising a little bit more. Apples seemed to be more than usual this week.
I didn’t get home until 1pm and hadn’t done any work today yet so I had a bacon sandwich for lunch and caught up on my messages, before it was time to meet another friend and Vanessa at Kefal tea gardens. I’d quickly managed to shove in the ingredients for a sausage casserole in to the slow cooker to have for dinner which wouldn’t be ready until late.
After teas and chitchat with the ladies, we all paid and here’s what I had with prices in lira;
Kefal Tea Gardens
1 sage tea 15
1 double cay 20
Total 35 lira + 5 extra tip as I had no change
40 lira spent (77p)
I love the tea gardens for bargain teas, the lovely views and polite no-nonsense approach.
Dinner was a really lovely sausage casserole with roast potatoes and carrots and I had some left for the fridge/freezer.
