These types of videos are definitely intriguing for me. I think you can point out to issues like this in Turkey, it would be useful to foreigners really I believe. Good video, keep going, love ya

[@hvnchback]

When I was in Istanbul in February for 10 days I was shocked that I only used half of the spending money I brought. I really enjoy your videos....keep making them :)

[@jamesgekas9904]

I am happy that you are making a lot of content

[@shisan4251]

thanks for yet another useful and interesting video :) please keep'em coming, personally I'm always happy to know more about daily life in TR

[@juliekok8346]

I think it would be interesting to compare prices of everyday things, from basic necessities to luxury items, in Turkey to the US. Maybe collab with a friend/family member here to collect the information on the same day as you do. When anyone from my husband’s family goes to visit Turkey, they load a luggage with things that are cheaper here in the US and bring back things that are hard for them to find here or are cheaper in Turkey. Usually lots of snacks come back 😂

On another aspect, In 2015 it was about 3.5 USD Now, its 1.5 USD.

this video is a showcase of how Turkish Lira lost value over the years thanks to the ruling party and everything that they've been doing for a while now..I don't like and buy Starbucks coffee anyway, but the situation is the same for all consumer products.😕

Prices are ridiculous in Turkey for those who live there as a local. Tough times for you guys! Hello from sunshine state!

By the way I bought my apartment in the end of 2020 for 60k it's now worth over 80k so yeah inflation is crazy.

Actually just checked and it's over 100k usd. Crazy. I might sell it and move to antalya and buy a small villa istanbul is way too crowded

[@ComedyGold-ml8wc]

I get a large americano in istanbul and it's around 20 lira

[@justaguy9475]

It costs a lot.

[@denisethegood]

Plant based milks should be the default - one day they will, I know 100%. My friends in the US and Belgium are also complaining because prices went up there as well. Then I ask ‘did they go up 60-120% like in Turkey?’ They then stop complaining 😫

I thought that Starbucks prices are about the same around the world. Now that menu can be used good in China with RMB. But one lira is 0.43 RMB. That is in Turkey it is twice cheaper than in China (which is a low tax country).

Chelsea you can earn dollars easily by teaching language internationally online. at least that's something. We don't even have that option

[@mithrandir2861]

Actually its cheaper now. In 2015, 1 Dollar were equal to 2.75 lira. Paying 9 lira meaning that you paid 3.27 Dollars. Now same drink costs less. If it was still 3.27 Dollars, you would have to pay 48.75 TL. So they discounted same drink 50 percent off. The reason people are getting poorer everyday. The economy is bad globally but its obvious, Turkey has chosen the path of being China of Europe. And it seems to me that western countries want that too. They want to be less dependent on China so Turkey is one of the good candidate for cheap labor and service. A decade of suffering waiting for us. It's not gonna be easy.

28 Lira's is $1.65. Did you mean robbing people in America or Turkey ?

If its converted to my currency, it’s only MYR7.. while if you buy venti latte in malaysia will cost you about MYR18 (72 lira)

[@mete8384]

so i made some comparisons without any political intention and i would like some explanation on this by someone who has knowledge on economics prices for a venti coffee paid by chelsea: 2015: 9,5₺ (≈ $3.15) 2022: 25₺ (≈ $1.65) minimum net wages in turkey (per month): 2015: 858₺ (≈ $286) 2022: 4253₺ (≈ $283.5) what is going on here? did the drink get cheaper or is there something that i’m missing on? i considered usd to buy 3 liras in 2015 and 15 in 2022

[@AL-grhvc]

Starbucks is always relatively expensive in Turkey no matter the year.. here the issue is : people are not earning more than they used to in 2015, yet they are paying everything 2 or 3 times more than they used to pay. a.k.a. when your currency loses value, you pay more for a product which has been 3 $ since 2015. a.k.a you could buy an i-phone with your monthly salary of 4000 ₺ in 2015, now you have to work at least 3 months to be able to buy an i-phone which costs at least 15.000₺; i-phone's $ price hasn't changed much over the years, your currency lost value.

[@mete8384]

@@AL-grhvc electronics are unaffordable at this point, that’s for sure. but i think starbucks is slightly more affordable in 2022, though still expensive. using dollars for comparison may not be always right, but i think also considering the inflation of dollars, 25 lira does not compare with the 9 lira of its time. starbucks has probably gone for a more affordable price trying to stay in the market. that probably means they may be lowering their prices by lowering the quality of their products. i think it is harder to find quality and healthy food and beverages at this point

[@AL-grhvc]

@@mete8384 the point here is that an average American has been paying 3$ for a venti since 2015, yet it has got 3 times more expensive for a Turk.

[@bahadrozcan9151]

@Mete When you pay with 1/4 of your income just for the electric/natural gas bill and then, 1/2 goes for apartment rent, there will be nothing enough left to cover the price of a coffee - which also by normally overpriced, that multiplied by x3. In America, basic needs have not become overly expensive yet, like we got here in Turkey. If they'd calculated their prices without considering household income and expenditures of the potential consumer profile, it wouldn't work. Economics and Trade isn't about numbers and maths. It's a social science and concerning things can not assessed with shallow knowledge and thinking; that's where you are missing.

[@tohuwabohu2301]

Interesting video, thank you. Have to say though, IMO Starbucks is unethical. They are greenwashing like hell. They advertise their good work conditions and fair trade. But there are multiple controversies including child labor and human rights issues, violation of Fairtrade agreements etc. It goes on with tax avoidance, union busting and not to mention the huge amount of plastic packaging and paper cups with plastic caps. Please let’s all support our local dealers and independent small shops instead of a huge chain that has just a good marketing department. 💚

As I said this video is for people looking to move to Turkey. Foreigners earn lira in Turkey just like everyone else and therefore it is equally expensive for all of us. Just because you see a foreign in Turkey please don’t assume they earn foreign currency.

[@cigaretteaftercats]

In 2015, 1 dollar was 2.75 liras. Now 1 dollar is 14.83 liras 😐

[@ahmetkurkcu2026]

That’s a instructive video for the people who would like to move to Turkey however It’s not exactly what you said about Turkey. I mean, currency should not be issue in that case therefore i am pretty sure that their currency much more valuable than Lira you know what i mean.

[@ChelseaElizabethIZMIR]

Foreigners living in Turkey earn lira just like everyone else. As I did in the video it’s uncomfortable for most foreigners these days because people assume we’re all rich, but in fact most of us have loans/bills to pay to our native countries in foreigner currency…so it’s actually more difficult for a foreigner to live here. I pay my student loans in dollars but I’m only earning lira.

[@RecepRC]

Cmon Chelsea You don't have to go to the rubbish expensive places like Starbucks or somewhere else unless you earn foreign currency. And btw cmon do you have to drink wtf Latte things 😁 Instead, why not going to the Tea Garden - Çay Bahçesi 😁 like me. These places are at least more sincere if you ask me. Or, stay home 🏡 more 🙂

uhm...small cup of tea is about 4 liras tho and some places even higher. (okay maybe 3 but i don't think that wasn't really a tea)
