The cost of living crisis has seen the price of Heinz ketchup soar to £4 for large bottles
But the same popular condiment is only £2.50 in Turkey, with smaller 342g bottles just £1.
And they are not the only bargains on offer abroad.
Nutella 400g pots cost £2 in stores in Turkey, compared to £4 here.
Craig Harker, away on a break in Marmaris, shared a snap of the cut-price ketchup on a foodie Facebook account.
He posted on his Dad Loves Food page: “Turkey ketchup prices.
“Their own branded tomato sauce is less than £1 while Heinz comes in at just over £1 and £2.50 for a bigger bottle!”
One member said: “Forget the wine and cigs, just bring ketchup back from Turkey.”
Another added: “Gonna be bringing back ketchup instead of ’baccy on my next holiday . . .”
A third person said: “Fill your suitcase — you’d make a fortune.”
Another weighed in: “Same as when you go to Poland mate.
“Everything is cheap. You can get a pint for about 80p, a litre bottle of vodka for about £8.
“UK is a joke — we work for peanuts and get robbed at the same time.”
