Just when you thought that hike in prices for chicken and vegetables was bad enough, now it seems like local bread manufacturer Gardenia will be upping the prices of their bread as well starting 1 December.
A picture went viral recently showing the revised prices for Gardenia’s products including the Classic Original which will go up from RM2.38 to RM2.80 and local favourites such as Twiggies (from RM1.49 to RM1.80).
