If price the same but portion less, is that counted as inflation??

[enterprise2]

Think our inflation rate is underreported. Many cases of items same price but quantity or quality less. In this case, there is no inflation but u end up buying more or feeling hungry or thirsty after your usual meal. Even for electronic products, manufacturer build in less expensive parts so that they die off in say 2 years instead of 3. U end up buying more but inflation will not capture it. So bottom line is that your salary remain constant but the same $ may buy less or u need to pay more if price increases. Even if price stays the same, u can be screwed by lower quantity, poorer quality or replace more frequently. No wonder everyone (outside of million $ club) feels poorer every day !!

McDonald's burgers' diameters have been shrinking... they were much bigger back when they came in styrofoam boxes.

 

[Logisex]

Mac and BK burgers all shrinking. Mac burgers quality also went down the drain years ago. Now their fish fillet and chicken burgers taste exactly like those deep frozen patties you buy from NTUC.

According to Tin Pei Ling, this is not inflation. Only when prices increase, then it is inflation.
Clowns like her and a few other MIWs bragged about how they were able to stop the hawkers in their constituencies from raising their food prices.
Just goes to show how out of touch these clowns are.

anyways, call it inflation or whatever when the quality and quantity is lessened - we're just short-changed in the process.

Ah nehs are rejected by WLs in geylang.

 

[chootchiew]

You could be right. But I think not all ah neh are being rejected. Some wear more high class ones are accepted at a price of $300. So Prince charming could be 1 of them lol

​

So what the fcuk is inflation now??? Same items but price increase??? Or price same but qnty or quality decrease??? Of course these are the clear cut questions because in between u have all the combinations where price increase a little bit with changes in qnty or quality!! No wonder people look at official inflation nos and shake their heads!!!
