Inflation really hurt

[Lchlch]

Moi go out to nearby mall to buy lunch for family, cost about $30. Buy bubble tea $4, and red bean bun for tommorow breakfast $2.50

One afternoon like that spend almost $40 already on basic needs. Sibeh heart pains

Same to me too...
$50 is very small nowadays especially with cost rising.

Inflation mostly is caused by demands, if everyone doesn’t spend unnecessarily price will come down.

I seldom order fish. What's the price for BT or NH? Do they sell these or other types of fish?

Bubble tea is a not a necessity but a luxury. Learn the difference mate.

Minister give you assurance package liaoa…

The money is from our taxes. Not from their pockets.

And the package is not enough to cover inflation effects for everything and for the whole year.

We are living in the most expensive city in the world.

These Are the World's Most Expensive Cities to Live In Right Now​

The cost of car ownership, alcohol and grocery prices put Singapore ahead of New York.

$50 to $150 is nothing with family. Weekend go into mall, go out will spend around liao. Meal, grocery, eye itchy buy this that.

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.

Still have $4?! Now no more.. should be 5plus to 6plus depending on how heavy.. I don't eat processed food if I can.

Bubble tea is unhealthy, try to avoid.

Average is affected by outliers....

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.

做仙… No need to eat…
