Dear readers, recently I went to a stall which I have been patronising for some years and ordered for takeaway a packet of mixture of mee and guo tao, topped off with a chicken wing, some vegetables and a egg.
When it was time to pay for the food, I was shocked: it cost me $5 for this packet!
Not too long ago, it was $4.60.
And some years back, the same food cost me just $4.
In a short span of time, the same food has increased about 25%.
Yes, I know inflation and cost of living and materials are heading north and food operators have no choice but to pass higher costs to consumers.
But I really wonder how do we consumers really know whether a food operator is increasing prices due to the genuine reason of inflation? How do we consumers know where to draw the line?
For now, I personally find the stall has overcharged me and hence will not or reduce my visit to the stall.
