Turkish vlogger Leyla Agdeve is going viral after exposing soaring food prices in her latest street-level report from Bodrum. 📱 Her eye-opening clips reveal a stark reality: everyday essentials like bread, eggs, and veggies now cost twice as much as they did just 12 months ago. 🍅🥚
\"A kilo of tomatoes jumped from 15 to 30 Turkish lira,\" Agdeve told her camera, holding up receipts like evidence in a real-life Squid Game. 💔 Even olive oil—a kitchen staple—now costs residents ₺500 per liter, forcing many to switch to cheaper substitutes.
Locals shared stories of skipping meals and avoiding markets until payday. One shopper joked darkly: \"Forget avocados—we’re monitoring oxygen prices next.\" 😓 The crisis hits hardest for students and young professionals, with many relying on budget hacks like bulk-buying discounted near-expired goods.
While Turkey isn’t alone in battling inflation (we see you, 💥 global economy), Agdeve’s raw footage offers Gen-Z viewers worldwide a crash course in economic ripple effects. Her final warning? \"This isn’t just numbers—it’s people choosing between dinner and bus fare.\" 🚌💔
