Cost of Living and Food Price Increases

The All Island Canteen Owners' Association announced price increases of Rs. 5 for flour-based foods including egg roti, paratha, and short eats. This reflects broader cost of living pressures affecting consumers.

Rs. 5 more for an egg roti—finally, a price increase so modest it almost feels like an insult. At this rate, by 2030 we'll be paying the same for breakfast as we do for a month's internet, and honestly? The wifi's probably more filling.
