The tuna wrap that I was paying 1,800 won for is now selling for 2,300 won as of February 1st.

The cans of tuna I was paying 1,100 for are now going for 1,900 won.

Plus the fact that the exchange rate went from 1100 to 1500 isn't helping.

Pork went from 500 won per 100 grams to 780 won per 100 grams.

I used to be able to find milk on sale for 1000 won, but now it always seems to cost at least 2000 won.

Not sure about rice: it always seems so much more expensive than back home anyways. And I only buy one big bag every couple months.
