There's not a lot we can do about the rising prices. On the individual level, I am now conscious of what are the more expensive items that I buy, and will buy them a bit less often (every 2 weeks intead of weekly, say). If need be, I will switch to cheaper alternatives. I don't think we will get to the point where we really have to just eat less!
I really dont know how to deal with the rising costs of living. -
Some things will costs more when we break it into smaller batches. I just bought a pkt of 1kg almond slices at $15.50 for my Swedish Cake. Noticed if I buy the 250g pkt, it costs $5.10 which works out to almost 25% & the hassle of going frequently to shop. Gotta to weigh all costs incl time & travel, unless it’s perishables like veggies that can’t keep.

It is common that prices are cheaper if we buy in bulk or bigger packets.

I buy 10kg too & fill my rice bin. Only time I bought several 5kg rice was when Sheng Siong had offers for $13/bag of Song He.

For me, the grocery shopping is always done by my \"bull\" alone. I just write down what I want to buy, then the \"bull\" will go to NTUC to carry these items back home.

The seafood section which sells prawns, fish is ready around 8am.
