gst 2

ya. talking abt finances again

was eating at some food market these few nights as house not cooking.
found that prices had increased from $2 to $2.50!

surprising right...
GST up 2% but food 'GST' up 25%

So the auntie asked me "u want $2.50 or $3"
as i was quite familiar to the auntie, i disturbed her "got difference?"

normally $2, will have abt 2 prawn and $3 abt 4prawn.
so, i paid another 50cents more for 2 more prawns.

the first increase was a few yrs ago when GST first implemented.
that time increase from $1.50 to $2, abt 33%

The second increase was when GST up from 3% to 5%, whereby my fishball was reduced by 1... er... that shop's fishball noodle nice mah... i like the fishball, can?

So, the increase this time does look reasonable?

FYI, GST has not increased hor... but the stalls started to 'implement' it wef 1.1.07
That's my main issue.

I expecting an increase in 1 April 07. lets wait n c...
