Interesting data. Will you please post some figures reflecting cost of living per family in Pakistan in major cities like Karachi and Lahore? I am interested in seeing cost of living for a family of 4, 8 and 12 to understand the delta. Thanks

Chicken gone crazy priced.

Daily items from stores are so expensive where is law enforcements and govt machinery to crack down on these stores and shop looting public.

 

[Asian.Century]

What the heck is wrong, daily item prices keep on rising. Something must be done.

 

[On the Edge]

so bananas were Rs60/dozen two years back and they are what , a 200 plus a dozen? dam
this could have been a good thread if daily consumables prices were regularly updated, we might not realise but prices are rising alarmingly over the last few years, nestle milk is now 150/ltr

Utility Stores Increase Prices for 50 Commonly Used Items
Posted 1 day ago by Raza Rizvi

Prices of over 50 items, including sugar, shampoo, and soap have been increased in utility stores across the country.

Sugar prices have increased by Rs. 3 per kg, taking the current price of Rs. 69 to Rs. 72/kg.

Utility stores are supposed to provide everyday items on subsidized prices to ease the burden on the masses. However, this price hike will leave the public with no choice.

According to media reports, the prices of over 50 brands of shampoo, soaps, and creams have been raised by Rs. 20 at stores across the country.

An Rs. 10 hike was observed on the price of a face cream’s 50ml jar. The revised price has gone up to Rs. 227.

Similarly, the prices of various soaps have been jacked up by Rs. 2 each bar.

Moreover, people will now have to pay 20 rupees more on every 400 ml shampoo bottle. The new price would be Rs. 394, said the report. Likewise, the rates of a 200ml shampoo bottle have been increased by Rs. 10.

The new rates will be effective from July 1st, the report added.

It should be mentioned here that the Utility Stores Corporation of Pakistan is a state-owned enterprise operating chain stores across the country. The core purpose of utility stores is to provide people with essential household products at lower prices.

I do not mean to make light of the financial hardship that will be added to the miseries of millions of people, but there is no other choice here. They will indeed manage somehow with even less than what they already have shortages of.
