Yes prices always goes up all the time,i also feel sorry for the underprivileged too...

Yes price of the food in india is really high now a days

Cars can be more expensive to maintain than to buy, but I don't need one as taxi fares are cheap enough on the rare occasion I need to go somewhere in a hurry. As Eeprom said for food it's variable depending on the class or quality, some options are really cheap but I'm drawn more to luxury items, for instance I tend to go for organic chocolate. The supermarkets here are very competitive though and so you can always find special offers like 3 for the price of 2 on some of those luxury foods.
