There are many different grocery stores in Columbus. From my apartment I could walk to four or five different ones. We have a lot of different options for buying our food. How do you grocery shop in Istanbul?
There are similar markets here. But usually we use the little ones(bazaar and marketplace). We should protect small retailers, farmers and families for reduce the effects of capitalism.
I think it was already mentioned, by someone else, but we have places called farmers markets that I think are really similar. People that farm their own crops or own farm animals will bring in their produce and sell it there. It tastes so much better. I think it is cool that there is something similar like this between our two countries.
Hi Ali,
I understand that you prefer to support local/small businesses. Are there many large markets or any specific market that has multiple locations? For example, we have a grocery store here called “Kroger”, and there are multiple Kroger’s around Columbus. Also, I was wondering if prices are better at the smaller markets or larger ones?
In Columbus, we also have markets called ‘farmers markets’. These are typically temporary markets that are set up once or twice a week on a street or parking lot that allow for local people to sell their products, such as produce, meats and other things such as jewelry. They are always fun to go to. It is a fun way to support local business and the products are usually cheaper than in our regular grocery stores.
Yes, there are grocery store chains in Turkey. When I took groups to Turkey we stopped into Migros on several occasions. Let’s talk more about why we support local businesses on Carmen or in the video conference!!
