SHRINKFLATION: WHY I AM SUFFERING FROM IT?

Dear readers, I am suffering from Shrinkflation.

I am not sure whether you have heard about this term, Shrinkflation though you would definitely heard about inflation: since costs of living and inflation are getting higher here in Singapore.

Shrinkflation is actually linked to Inflation.

And Inflation? Definitely, I am suffering from the effects of it, having to pay higher prices for almost everything these days.

And when I am not paying higher prices for the things that I consume, it is where Shrinkflation comes, silently.

Just look, I had a plate of Kway Chap yesterday at my office’s coffee house.

I was impressed that the price of the Kway Chap remains the same despite inflation and higher cost of living.

But when I saw the preparation work: I was left unimpressed: the stall assistant gave much fewer portions of the meat for my order.

There you go: Shrinkflation, paying the same price for the same item, but the portion becomes reduced and I definitely ended up hungrier these days!
