...I noticed that the tinned tomatoes she had scanned had gone through the till at 1.50tl each, even though the advertising quoted the price as 1.25tl. More on http://northcyprusfreepress.com/2012/02/18/in-my-opinion-samar-express-alsancak-not-a-good-start/

They have some very good specials from time to time.

went back to Samar again for the 8.55TL 24x toilet tissue offer, for the 5th time. This time I talked to what might have been the owner who gave me a shrug of the shoulders and an "out of stock" response. Fair enough, they're having stock issues. It must be difficult sourcing products which in their advert "we claim that we are the cheapest anywhere!!!" Picked up an unpriced 5L box of Rose wine I usually get for 24.95TL from Hur Deniz down the road. They put it through the till and it came up at 30.30TL. The owner being there I challenged him about this and again the shrug - cheapest anywhere my bottom! Won't waste my time going back and if others are experiencing the same and Samar doesn't keep its advertised promise then, in my opinion, they won't last long.

I'm afraid you are coming across the pathetic (or do I mean corrupt) marketing practices of more and more of these "markets". I made a vow with myself that I would always shop at the smaller outlets in order to help the "owner/sellers" of goods in the TRNC, BUT after nearly 8 years I'm afraid I now go to the large supermarkets. If I truly think that something is wrongly or badly priced, you can call "the Boss" and the mistake is put right without argument. At least that's my experience.
