Do you eat so many cans of tuna that you're really concerned? Ten cans a month would be a lot. Now you have to spend 6000 won more per month if you eat that much. 6000 won, the cost of a drink in a bar at times.


Death by a thousand cuts. If it was JUST tuna...

Why is it that tuna in water is more expensive then Tuna in oil... I eat a lot of tuna because its a good source of protein. Problem is that it gets really expensive for me 1800 won and I eat at least 2 of these a day.

In the little town I live in, tuna has gone from W1000/can to W1600 in the last 6 months or so. I realize Korea is getting hit by inflation, just like everyone else, but that's nuts! Is there some kind of tuna shortage or something? What's up with that?!?


Luckily for you, tampon prices have gone down 800 Won. So you actually come out on top!

Take the good with the bad and move on.

Now that is got to be one of the stupidest responses ever! Rolling Eyes A 60% is pretty steep, I was just wondering what the hell is going on. Don't let it bother the tiny little brain in your pin head! Shocked

Like I said, just another punk on Dave's. This board is so full of assholes. I bet your mom is REAL proud of a dickhead like you!

Look at that! Tuna may have gone up, but tampons have gone down. Just at the right time of month for you!

Maybe the tuna formed a union and demanded higher 'genocide compensation' Question




Actually, food all over the world is claimed to get expensive this year, due to high oil prices. You would think the tuna in water price will level out eventually Smile

I'm pretty sure many are farmed here though?

No need for the insults. I'm just saying the price of a few cans of tuna is still not going to break the bank. Agreed though, it's a big mark up. Don't call a stranger dumb just because you think a reply is dumb. I think it's dumb to worry about an extra 600 won here and there, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.

I sort of agreed when reading his post but then I remembered being furious when the corner grocery store raised the price of milk by 20 entire cents so I sympathize.
