Thread on prices.

Was trying to compare prices for goods before and after the MCO. Let me just put everything here first:

1/n

The one that really caught my eyes were the prices for cooking oil and the prices for fishes. If we look at the prices for cooking oil, prices increased by an average of 40 cents (depending on the weight). I have no explanation on why this happened.

2/n

If we look at the prices for fishes, prices for most types of fishes declined. I think this has a lot to do with supply chain disruption where fishes weren& #39;t being able to be shipped from one place to another. Therefore prices for fishes were pushed down to attract buyers.
