while that is true,  I'm just pointing out that many things in 7-11 have risen 25-35% in a couple of months, is it CP greed? who regulates what they charge? as others here have also pointed out how much they're usual buys have gone up. 

There are many variables in the price of food and other products, but some always think there is only one answer.

CP may well have turned a loss into a profit but how did they do it, possibly by selling off some capital asset, who knows. i have shopped at lotus for a great many years and since the changeover there has been increases on some products and decreases on others. Tends to even out.

One thing is never going to change, foreign sourced products rising faster than local production.

We go to the Chatachuk market at Bang Saen on a regular basis and get a large Chang for 65 baht and a meal for 60/70 baht, been that way since the market was refurbished 6 or 7 years ago, before the refurbishment it was 75 for a large Chang.

At the end of the day prices are up to you.
