It's really bad....and I hope they would stop...
My favourite sweet corn in ntuc has raised its price to $1.45 (from $1.35)
A box of frozen onion rings costs $4.45 (from $3.95)
What is going on?
Kampong chicken from ntuc is now $9.10
The roasted chicken in NTUC previously raised from &7.90 to $10.90 has now changed to a new chicken branding called \"Butterfly chicken\" and sold at $12. To me, there is no difference in the chicken except that it is now cut up to open up to look like a butterfly... :roll:
Oh, I notice NTUC is using plain plastic bags now...no more printed ones...think cold storage also... I think cold storage did it first.... I guess they also do not need any more marketing... -

CS sells \"butterfly chicken' sometime ago. I tried and not much difference from the usual roasted chicken. In fact, I think the former has lesser meat at the same price of the roasted chicken.

Yes, and i assume this helps ntuc to save some cost on the plastic bags.

Rem in 2023 (?), the supermarkets will start charging the plastic bags... -

I don't think \"they\" (farmers, suppliers, supermarkets?) are putting up prices just for the sake of it (aka profiteering). It's just the way it is right now. I think most people here (on KSP) are fortunate enough that the price hikes are only painful, but don't really require any changes in lifestyle. If the prices really bite, then we can still change what we eat; we won't actually go hungry.

Exactly right? It's really mind-boggling they think we can cope at this rate.....It's getting worrying.

Am not blaming the supermarkets and I believe the price hike is from the source; increase in transportation costs, chicken feed etc

Yes, I will just grumble, complain, make some nasty comments but ultimately, if I want to eat, I will have to buy.
Maybe am price sensitive or money minded, i watch every cent that goes out from my pocket :roll: -

I used to think like that but I think things can get out of hand if the prices are rising overly steeply. We will definitely feel the drastic difference in lifestyle.

And frankly, I do not think all rises in prices are justified. There are surely people who take advantage of the situation.
