Start the Sacrifice!Well, it's 11 days into the new year and consumers are bracing for more price increases! This imbroglio has been brought about by the relentless across the board world price increase of commodities. The culprit is the phenomenal crude oil price rise throughout 2007. Meanwhile a drought in Australia has brought up the prices of dairy products due chiefly to the imports of animal feed.
On the home front, it is indeed frightening!
Yesterday, we went to patronise our favourite curry mee in Restoran OK in SS2. Lo and behold! The price of a small bowl of the delicacy has shot up by 30 sen. It is now RM3.80 for a bowl! Looks like it is beyond our financial capacity to continue to patronise this stall for a long, long while.
Meanwhile the stall will continue to prosper at the new price because people will somehow get used to it and pay through their noses!
