Guess what? Rice price went all the way up to $21 which was previously $13 only. The supermarket is really extorting money from the consumers. Won't be surprise to find Singaporeans rushing to supermarkets and get as many packet of rice as they can purchase than start to struggle to bring it home. Everyday the price increase and therefore, getting the rice earlier will have a better savings and sense of security. My family went to Giant supermarket to buy 3 packet of rice and what surprise me was not how many packet of rice they have bought but the price of the rice.
From the point of a member of a middle income family, the standard of living is really forcing us to the limit in maximising every dollar, reducing all the enjoyment and encourage us to migrate. It really time for us to consider a country. I just wonder, how does a low income family cope with such a high standard living condition. Giving cash rebates, discount from supermarket is definitely not going to help, think of long term, why not just reduce the tax for the import of food product and lighten the stress which had worsen day by day.
it's you and me <3
