Cut down on unnecessary stuff. Bubble tea is not needed. Red bean bun is unhealthy as a breakfast.

"Basic needs" = prepared cooked food + bubble tea + red bean bun?

Basic needs more like loaf of bread. Rice. Groceries. Butter. Coffee powder. Tea bags. Sugar. Milk.

Bubble tea and red bean bun are not basic needs. You can drink plain water now and eat porridge with 番茄炒蛋 for breakfast tomorrow. Cheaper and healthier.

Weekends OK lah... You don't eat this amount everyday... If not 1.2k or so.

Bubble tea is unnecessary!
It cost about a packet of cheap chicken rice in heartlands

 

[noahexe]

When does bubble tea consider as basic need?...
Cost inflation is bad, but people mindset more jialat...

Butter is not basic need. Coffee is not basic need. Tea is not basic need. Sugar is not basic need. Milk is not basic need (I'm assuming this isn't milk for baby).

Those are not basic needs. I don't consume them in my daily life and I can stay alive without any problems. They are completely optional.

You of all ppl got zero right to lecture others what is a basic need la
Your major addiction is not optional right? You sure you can stay alive or function w/o it or bragging about it? You sure?

What do you eat for breakfast? Or you dont eat breakfast?

Eggs considered basic need?

What would be basic needs for you then?

NTUC minced pork used to be just around $3 per pack in 2020, but now it is about $4 in 2023.

Unfortunately, such real inflation does not show up in the official statistics.

 

[rider83]

People can say all kinds of things sia. Soon the norm will be not one piece of bread and a glass of water for breakfast. Someone will come in and say he is perfectly fine with half a piece of bread and half glass of water for breakfast.

If inflation is hurting you, people will come in and tell u how u should live your life

Person A: I eat half piece of bread and half glass of water for breakfast. (But he wont tell u he has nice restaurant food for lunch and dinner)

Person B: I eat caipeng for lunch. One meat one veg enough, half rice, ask uncle for curry gravy as it is free! (But he wont tell u he has macs for breakfast and MLXG for dinner)

Person C: Dinner should not eat too much. Will get fat. So half rice with soup and half a fruit can le. (But he wont tell u he has Starbuck for breakfast and a hearty meal with his colleagues for lunch.)

Then suddenly it is concluded that u should live like Person A for breakfast, Person B for lunch and Person C for dinner. Inflation is no problem, u are the problem. No need to solve inflation problem liao
