We dun , only eat a little bit pork knuckles sometimes .

That's my worry. Dd1 used to like it. This morning on the way to her CCA training..I told her this and she says she actually feel abit jelak. Ask me to maybe cook it some other time but I told I bought already. Dd2 high possibility dont like.

Vinegar dish luckily can keep.

Not big pot la. Those fm Ntuc think 10.30 1 packed all readily cut. I don't add addl ingredients like eggs so not that much actually.

During the wkends and if not going out for lunch or dinner, I would cook a big pot say curry or chicken tonic soup for lunch and dinner. I will supplement a dish of stir fry veg or steam salmon.

Yes yes , curry chicken must cook big pot for my family too . My ds literally drink the gravy of home curry .
Chicken tonic soup is supplement to dinner ,usu we finish in supper . Drink tonic soup abt 10pm .

My favourite sweet corn in ntuc has raised its price to $1.45 (from $1.35)
A box of frozen onion rings costs $4.45 (from $3.95)
What is going on?

It's really bad....and I hope they would stop...
Kampong chicken from ntuc is now $9.10
The roasted chicken in NTUC previously raised from &7.90 to $10.90 has now changed to a new chicken branding called "Butterfly chicken" and sold at $12. To me, there is no difference in the chicken except that it is now cut up to open up to look like a butterfly...

Oh, I notice NTUC is using plain plastic bags now...no more printed ones...think cold storage also... I think cold storage did it first.... I guess they also do not need any more marketing...

CS sells "butterfly chicken' sometime ago. I tried and not much difference from the usual roasted chicken. In fact, I think the former has lesser meat at the same price of the roasted chicken.

The price hike for many items is significant but all just accept though i know there is nothing i can do

Super steep right? *cough blood*

Yes, and i assume this helps ntuc to save some cost on the plastic bags.
Rem in 2023 (?), the supermarkets will start charging the plastic bags...

I don't think "they" (farmers, suppliers, supermarkets?) are putting up prices just for the sake of it (aka profiteering). It's just the way it is right now. I think most people here (on KSP) are fortunate enough that the price hikes are only painful, but don't really require any changes in lifestyle. If the prices really bite, then we can still change what we eat; we won't actually go hungry.

Exactly right? It's really mind-boggling they think we can cope at this rate.....It's getting worrying.

Recently dined at Orchard Central, A drink in a restaurant costs $8-9 these days.

Am not blaming the supermarkets and I believe the price hike is from the source; increase in transportation costs, chicken feed etc
Yes, I will just grumble, complain, make some nasty comments but ultimately, if I want to eat, I will have to buy.

Maybe am price sensitive or money minded, i watch every cent that goes out from my pocket
