And I know food prices were super cheap out there! So while visiting the town & getting some sun on my face, I decided to do some grocery shopping - and see if I could do the WHOLE trip for cheaper than shopping at my local Tesco. We all know groceries are INSANELY expensive in the UK right now. They went up 37% between 2020-2025⦠but in Turkey, the same brands are much cheaper š Iām talking 84p Doritos, 49p Haribos, Ā£1.71 Oral B toothpaste (norm Ā£5), and Ā£2.24 for the BIGGEST pack of Coco Pops youāve ever seen (thatād be Ā£10+ in the UK) š³ I bought as much as I could. In total, all the shopping totalled Ā£34.34⦠which if bought in the UK, would have cost Ā£89.38 (Ā£86.18 with a Clubcard) š My total expenses including flights, trams, and shopping? Ā£68.79 So in total, by doing my grocery shopping in a different CONTINENT, I SAVED Ā£20.59 (or Ā£17.39 with a Clubcard). And all I had was a backpack! That total could be much higher if Iād have brought a check in bag 𤣠Honestly - this shouldnāt be possible š Both supermarkets and people in power need to do something to reduce the burden⦠before weāre all flying abroad for Coco Pops š On the climate question⦠sure, itās not the most environmentally friendly way to shop. But I filled an otherwise empty seat on the plane, and even if you ācarbon offsetā the flight - it still works out cheaper! So serious question⦠have supermarket prices gone too far? And what can be done to make grocery shopping cheaper? Those questions need to be answered. I post tips to save money every week - so follow for more! ššš» Full video & cost breakdown on my YouTube channel (link in bio)".
