New Delhi: The bill of a restaurant has become very popular on social media. This bill is from 2007. Seeing this bill, people are talking about how much the prices of food items have increased in the last few years. This bill is from a restaurant named ‘The Supper Factory’ in Delhi. There are total 10 items in it and the cheapest item is priced at Rs 180. The entire bill is Rs 2,522. A Reddit user named @r/delhi had shared this bill. Since then, it has become a topic of discussion on social media. Old things keep getting shared on social media. People share items from the era of their grandparents. Some have wedding cards from 50-60 years ago to show, while others show old coins and notes. This brings back old memories. At the same time, for the youth it is no less than a wonder. Now a restaurant bill of 2007 is being shared widely. Looking at this, it becomes clear how much the prices of things have increased in 17 years.
The caption accompanying the post read – ‘Two bills were received for partying in a bar in Delhi in 2007. I can’t believe that the prices of food, drinks and liquor have increased so much.
Different types of reactions on the bill
However, not everyone agreed. For some people, this post took them back to old memories. But, many people also said that even in 2007, a party of Rs 2,500 was not cheap.
One user wrote, ’18 years ago, Rs 2500 was not that cheap, brother.’ Another user said, ‘I feel like 2007 was just 7-8 years ago, not 17 years ago!’
One user said according to the time of 2007, ‘Believe me, in 2007, the whole month used to pass in this time. In this amount, there was rent for a one room flat.
Another user said, ‘Those who are talking about inflation are not understanding the real thing. Salaries have not increased as much as inflation has increased.
Samosa was only 50 paise in 1980
This is not the first time that an old bill or menu card is being shared so much. In February 2023, a Facebook page named Gagret Hulchal shared a menu card from 1980. Looking at the prices of sweets, samosas and kachoris, it was hard to believe that these things were once available so cheaply.
At that time one samosa used to cost only 50 paise. Whereas today its price ranges between Rs 10 to Rs 15. Sweets like laddu, gulab jamun and rasgulla were available at Rs 10 to Rs 15 per kg at that time. At the same time, today their price is quite high.
