I'm in Turkey What Should I Buy?

I just purchased an annual 2tb Google one storage for $17.36 what else can I save on?
I have a Turkish mobile number and access to a bank card.

    Butt shaping

  • lol Why are you on OZB? Surely you know the cost of the flight and accommodation negates any bargains you might find? Enjoy the experience and get off your devices.

  • Earpods and smart watches. Based on dollar, it is surprisingly cheaper in turkey.

    Also get turkish snacks, sweets, baklava, desserts and delights.

    And try shisha and apple tea in a cafe in probably old istanbul.

  • Deoderant

  • Bitcoin!

  • Chicken

    I hear they are famous for their hand made artisanal shoes? I get mine from Etsy (Aintaps) and I know there are heaps of shoemakers in Turkey.

  • Fake rolex

  • I'd buy:
    Carpets or even a prayer rug (weight can be an issue)
    Bowls or plate can be impressive though fragile
    Ornate tiles, plates or porcelain eyes are probably better options
    Scarfs/kaftans make good gifts for mums and co
    Buy a sporting team flag if you go to a match eg:Istanbul's - Besitas soccer club flag for the wall

  • Buy some tasty cat food and give it to the friendly local kitties.

  • Turducken

  • New teeth apparently all the rage there.

    I love lollies and sweet things so I’d say Turkish Delight!

  • A chicken and a duck

    Iskender kebab

  • Have you tried Adna Kebabs or the mussels with rice?

  • Get a hair transplant and new teeth put in. Thats what I see people on tik tok doing in turkey

  • If I was in Turkey I'd be buying a ticket out of Turkey.

  • If you buy Turkish google storage do you still get 10% cashback off any google store AU purchases?
    This is the running offer for Google AU 2tb storage.

    Surprised no one has yet suggested $400k USD of property https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/784046

  • Don't buy that colour changing jewelry it's all fake

  • I came back last week from Champions League final, bought 10 kgs of spices (Ottoman, Sumac, Meatball, Pul Biber, Paprika, Chilli Flake), 10 kgs of Turkish Delight (220 lira a kilo is a good price). Should have bought some gift card but couldnt find it anywhere in Istanbul.

  • Surprised no one said Lamb yet - you'll get regional specialties almost everywhere.
    Try char grilled Kuşbaşı (cubed grilled meat), iskender kebab, Ayran (yogurt drink), Turkish tea (çay), and su böreği (best with cheese).

  • Bayramoglu doner
