About many other prices: I highly recommend visiting the hypermarket Costco for all groceries.
Also, use e-market platforms like Shopy, carousel, etc. I'm buying Swiss chocolate there cheaper than in EU.
Take a look at Taiwanese holidays and the analog of "Black Friday" - 11/11. Official New Balance shop sells snickers for 1111 twd in this week.
I would avoid Mainland China at all costs. Terrible clown show government there. Really a sad state of affair Mainland China is in. Avoid traveling there. People are treated like slaves and animals there. Lots of criminal activity goes on in Mainland China. People there have Zero rights. Pooh Bear president Xi Jinping is a complete disgrace to the world and should be in jail for the genocide of the Uyghurs and Tibetans. CCP Chinese gov needs to be punished also for stealing land not theirs.
Unfortunately, the robber regime of Taiwan announced recently to fine the landlord for a whopping 500,000 NT dollar, more than whopping 100 months of landlords' rent income if the landlord didn't allow the renter to apply for the government rent subsidy.
Fining for more than whopping 100 months of landlords' rent income is absolutely no more a fine but is clearly the most brazen robbing by the current robber regime of Taiwan unlike never seen in world history.
Democracy system is no more practiced in Taiwan anymore under the authoritarian and robber Tsai president who not only waste massively to the extent of depleting the tresuary of Taiwan but also brazenly robs Taiwanese by imposing outrageous fine which are much more than normally acceptable to the extent of potentially bankrupting Taiwanese now.
No wonder the population of Taiwan has shrunk terribly under the current most dishonest robber Tsai president unlike never seen before in Taiwan history.
It's time to end the gang of robbers including the authoritarian Tsai president and her accomplice Democratic party now for the sake of justice and fairness for Taiwanese.

Taiwan's economy is doing amongst the best worldwide now.
The current unrealistic separatist regime in Taiwan should stop all of its unachievable treacherous dreaming immediately and be very careful not to provoke China anymore because they might be hunt worldwide eventually even if they run away from Taiwan later for the crime of unforgivable treasons.
1. Action sounds louder than speech
2. A war that should result losing completely shouldn't be provoked, are the 2 messages for the selfish bigmouth separatist regime in Taiwan for the sake of millions of Taiwanese in Taiwan.
US weapons certainly would not prevent from China invasion eventually so shouldn't waste a lot of money on the useless US weapons anymore and instead invest only on the one almighty weapon which even US is afraid of today so doesn't dare to touch China militarily even under the previous Trump's administration.
The priority now is for peace so peaceful existence between Mainland China and Taiwan under One China policy is so important today much more than before so Taiwan must use the One China policy wisely and beneficially in order to maintain peace at all cost during this current unpredictable era.
No one in Taiwan but only the working people automatically receive the payment of coronavirus stimulus unfairly unlike other countries and this is the most unfair scam ever committed by any government in history.
This the most unfair Taiwan government is wasting Taiwanese's tax money by automatically providing payment of up to 30000 NT dollar to all of the working people or all employees in Taiwan recently in the name of coronavirus stimulus wrongfully but there is no plan to automatically support for the unemployed people or other idle people in Taiwan unfairly unlike other countries.
The recent approved Coronavirus stimulus package of over 7 billions US dollar wasn't necessary if the Taiwan government were good enough to prevent the recent outbreak of coronavirus but this good for nothing Taiwan government delayed the purchase of coronavirus vaccines deliberately in order to wait endlessly until the local-made unreliable coronavirus vaccines is available which consequently results the terrible death of hundreds of Taiwanese now unnecessarily due to the recent worst coronavirus outbreak in Taiwan , all thanks to the foolish Tsai president who is the main culprit forcefully pushing for the local made coronavirus unnecessarily so this immoral culprit should step down immediately for indirectly killing of hundreds of innocent Taiwanese as well as for causing the loss of Taiwanese's tax money of over 7 billions US dollar in the name of coronavirus stimulus package for her world-record ignorance as well as for her world-record foolishness to insist with the local-made unreliable coronavirus vaccine which most Taiwanese have no trust upon, maybe the recent terrible death of hundreds of innocent Taiwan due to the outbreak might not be enough for her world-record foolishness.
Consequently everyone here are suffering now so everyone should be entitled to be supported financially if the Taiwan government decided to indemnify for its mishandling of the pandemic.
However, only specific group or individual such as the rip-off taxi drivers, etc are being indemnified unfairly out of the over 7 billions US dollar which the current government decided to spend to indemnify for its mistake so everyone suffering here is not indemnified and it's extremely unfair for everyone currently suffering in Taiwan.
Everyone is entitled to be indemnified out of the government's 7 billions US dollar support fund.
So for the sake of fairness, the fund should be used to alleviate the expense such as food (so the food price should be much more cheaper now, etc), health insurance (the cost of health insurance should be reduced by half, etc), transportation (city bus fare should cost no more than 15 NT dollar, etc), etc of everyone equally instead of wasting to indemnify the rip-off taxi driver and so on. Anyway, the government's fund should not benefit only specific group or individual unfairly because this is not fair for everyone currently suffering in Taiwan.
Taiwan government shouldn't allow culprit companies such as 雃博 (4106), 優盛(4121) to take advantage of the suffering of Taiwanese in order to profiteer in the stock market unreasonably during the tragic period like now, the criminal behavior of these companies must be investigated immediately for justice.
The rice price has been skyrocketed over 150% since 2016 from about 20 Taiwan dollar per kilogram to over 50 Taiwan dollar per kilogram now while India is selling rice for merely 10 Taiwan dollar per kilogram to Asia countries recently.
So the rice price in Taiwan is 400% more expensive than the current export price of India.
A chicken rice set meal at 7 Eleven convenient store in Thailand is just about 30 baht or 26.77 Taiwan dollar but the similar chicken rice set meat at 7 Eleven convenient store in Taiwan cost a whopping above 70 Taiwan dollar.
7 Eleven convenient store in Taiwan used to be cheaper where a chicken rice set could be purchase at 50 Taiwan dollar until 2016 but this offer is no longer available under the current sick government.
The city bus fare has been doubled under the current sick government as well and it's worst for location between Xindian, New Taipei City and Taipei where even if taken just for 3 bus stops, one shall be ripped off for 30 Taiwan dollar for bus fare under the current sick government unlike never seen before.
Throwing rubbish is the greatest pressure all Taiwanese have been suffering until now unlike Singapore , etc where Singaporean have no pressure throwing the rubbish as rubbish bin is available at every building in Singapore unlike in Taiwan where Taiwanese have to chase the rubbish car twice daily shamefully in order to eliminate rubbish.
The current sick government has done nothing to eliminate this pressure for Taiwanese until so far.
Restaurant food price has been skyrocketing rapidly under the current sick government for at least 30%.
Going to the supermarket to purchase meat and vegetable is no longer convenient for all nondrivers as plastic bag is banned from using in the supermarket under the direction of the current sick government unlike in Japan where plastic bag is offered for free at every supermarket.
So the current sick government is the root cause and the culprit of causing birth rate falling rapidly unlike never seen before because this sick government contributes more inflation and inconvenience to all Taiwanese comparing to all of the previous government before.
Unfortunately, I am also aware of the current situation.
In all honesty my plans should be reconsidered after reading the comment section.
We lost our two sons one daughter and 5 close friends to covid19 so far.
There isn't any forgetting or forgiveness.
What the Chinese government and citizens of China did was just cold blooded heartless murders on a global scale as the comments on Jan.5 2021 stated.
Then the witch Tsai might understand the hardship of Taiwanese who are suffering due to the very inhumane policies imposed by her that resulting not being provided of the essential plastic bag for food purchase in the super market as well as being unreasonably and outrageously charged of additional consumer tax for each individual bamboo chopstick, paper box, plastic spoon of takeaway food.
Tsai and her blood line shall not rest in peace forever as long as Taiwanese are suffering due to the aforementioned inhumane policies imposed by her so before it's too late Tsai must abolish the aforementioned inhumane policies imposed by her immediately so as not to harm Taiwanese anymore.
Traitor Tsai is the main reason why Taiwan might be attacked very soon by China or else no war is expected for Taiwan for the next 100 years.
Trump is out at the end of this year and China is coming for revenge only upon the most hateful traitor Tsai and roast the traitor Tsai alive until her death to appease its anger.
Butchering of the Traitor Tsai by China is not important for all Taiwanese but people in Taiwan should not suffer for the sake of the wicked, moron traitor Tsai which is nothing more than a dog in Taiwanese's eye as the traitor Tsai is making the people's life harder by forcing to pay inhumane tax for each and individual chopstick, spoon, box of takeaway food unlike never seen in human history and the fare of city bus was also raised double under her administration, etc.
The traitor Tsai shall surely go to hell for causing suffering and unnecessary pressure and burden to all Taiwanese unlike never seen before during her administration after China roasts her alive to death.
