๐ Same Shopping List. Bigger Bill. Smaller Happiness. ๐
Rohit went grocery shopping with โน6,500 in mind.
Because that’s roughly what they spent last year.
Same rice. Same vegetables. Same milk. Same household essentials.
Then the cashier announced the total.
โน8,250. ๐
Rohit: “Excuse me, did I accidentally buy the supermarket?”
Swati: “No. You bought tomatoes, onions, milk and cooking oil.”
Rohit: “Then why does the bill look like an EMI?” ๐ญ
Welcome to grocery inflation, where your shopping bag stays the same size but your bank balance gets smaller.
So Rohit and Swati tried something different.
They planned their meals, compared prices, made shopping lists and stopped buying things that would expire before anyone used them.
Next month’s bill: โน7,450.
Not exactly cheap, but โน800 less than the previous month.
Rohit was celebrating like he’d won a lottery.
Swati: “We saved โน800.”
Rohit: “Excellent! Let’s order biryani!”
Swati: “ROHIT!” ๐
Some habits are harder to control than inflation.
What’s the one grocery item whose price always surprises you?
Tomatoes, onions, cooking oil or something else? ๐
