Hello everyone,

Did you plan your budget before your move to Turkey? If so, how did you go about it?

How do you save money in your day to day life? Do you find there are any areas where you can't cut costs?

Do you have any tips about saving money in Turkey? For example, getting the best deals on accommodation, grocery shopping and dining out, the best value transportation, etc..

Are there any apps or websites that have helped you to save money?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Since the currency is fluctuate, I used to convert lira to euro every month. That way, you can ensure you save some when transferring back to your home country.
