When it comes to winter snacks, the first thing that comes to mind is bungeoppang.
Recently, it has become difficult to even buy 3 of this bungeoppang for 1,000 won.
Let's take a look at the reasons why bungeoppang is expensive.
At the beginning of this year, the price of bungeoppang, which had risen to 1,000 won for two pieces, is now sold at 2,000 won for three pieces.
The sharp rise in prices of flour, cooking oil, and red beans also affected street snacks such as bungeoppang.
In fact, wheat flour increased by 8.8% in December last year and 12.1% in January this year, and rose by a whopping 45.4% in September. In the case of cooking oil, it also increased by 55.2% last month compared to the same month of the previous year.
In addition, fuel costs that continue to rise this year are also contributing to the rise in street food prices.
I wondered why I can't see places selling Bungeoppang like this these days, but the article said that the winter snack stalls are gradually disappearing as the cost burden increases.
