Admin’s Note

The price increase of Calbee’s potato chips is significant news for consumers. Snacks, especially, are popular among children, and rising prices will put a strain on family budgets. As noted in the blog, we are now in an era where saving in our daily lives has become essential. It’s also important for consumers to pay attention to the fact that not only are prices going up, but the product sizes are shrinking as well. I look forward to keeping an eye on future economic conditions.
