Four major products that have not increased in price in ten years:

First, Coke and Sprite. The two major cola giants on the market - Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, as well as Sprite owned by Coca-Cola, do not seem to have raised their prices in my memory. Nowadays, there are a wide variety of drinks on the market, but the prices vary. However, Coke and Sprite, as time-honored brands in the beverage industry, are deeply loved by everyone. In addition to its stimulating and refreshing taste, its low price is also the secret to its longevity. With a price of 3 yuan all year round and excellent brands, it will always be your first choice when buying drinks.

Second, Green Arrow chewing gum. As a leader in the field of chewing gum, Green Arrow has also maintained its good ethics of not raising prices. The price is 2.5 yuan and the taste is refreshing. Everyone likes to chew it when there is nothing wrong. Later, various packagings were refurbished, including round boxes, iron boxes, and Green Arrow lozenges, but I still love this five-piece bulk package, which is an absolutely conscientious product. However, it is a bit regretful that the price seems to have increased to 3 yuan recently, but the chewing gum itself is not expensive, so everyone still happily accepts it.

Third, lighter. I didn’t smoke when I was a child, but based on my vague memory of buying a lighter for my father when I was a child, it seems that it has always cost 1 yuan for more than ten years. Although various high-end lighters often cost hundreds or even thousands, there is still a market for cheap lighters priced at 1 yuan each. Because they are cheap and easy to buy, they can still be seen everywhere. Some careless smokers have a lot of these lighters in their homes.

Fourth, steamed buns. Everyone likes to eat steamed buns for breakfast. Not only are they cheap, but they are also very filling. Haha, it’s such a conscience breakfast. I usually like to eat sweet steamed buns with a cup of soy milk. Although it is simple, it is very satisfying. Nowadays, the steamed buns made by various shops vary in size and shape, but the prices are almost the same. We used to buy a steamed bun for only 2 or 3 cents. More than ten years later, we can buy one for 5 cents. In some canteens like schools, we can buy two for 5 cents. There is no filling in the steamed buns, so compared to the price of steamed buns, the long-term stability has not changed much.

1. Park tickets

Many friends from other places said: “It’s so happy to live in Hangzhou. There are so many beautiful parks to visit. The key is that most of them are free. Such as Huagang Fish Viewing, Hangzhou Flower Garden, Quyuan Fenghe..."

In April 2000, some parks in Hangzhou conducted a round of price adjustments. Tickets for Huagang Fish Viewing, Botanical Garden, Prince Edward Bay and other parks have been adjusted from the original 5 yuan to 10 yuan, Quyuan Fenghe has been adjusted from 4 yuan to 10 yuan, Gushan Park has been adjusted from 3 yuan to 5 yuan, and Liulang Singying has been adjusted from 2 yuan. It’s 5 yuan...

Ten years have passed, the entrance fee to the Botanical Garden is still 10 yuan, while the entrance fee to Huagang Fish Watching, Quyuan Fenghe, Hangzhou Flower Garden, Prince’s Bay, Gushan Park, and Singing Orioles in the Willows are all It's free.

In October 2003, Hangzhou began to implement "returning lakes to the people and returning scenery to the people", and many parks began to be open to the public free of charge. And this free West Lake does attract more tourists.

No. 2. Bus fare

Hangzhou’s bus fare has not increased in the past 10 years. It has remained at 2 yuan for air-conditioned buses and 1 yuan or more for non-air-conditioned buses. The price is 1.5 yuan. Starting from the past two years, seasonal price reduction measures have been implemented. In March, April, October and November of each year, air-conditioned vehicles are charged at the same rate as non-air-conditioned vehicles.

According to relevant sources, the reason why buses are able to avoid price increases is related to government subsidies. Without government subsidies, it would be impossible to maintain prices at 1 to 2 yuan based on the increase in prices of oil, materials, etc.

No. 3. Charges for public toilets

In 2000, many public toilets in Hangzhou were free, and a few of them were charged, and the price was 1 jiao. 1 time. Now, 10 years later, all public toilets in Hangzhou are free, and even high-end five-star toilets are free.

It is understood that the reason why public toilets do not charge money is also closely related to government subsidies.

No. 4. Electronic products

In the past 10 years, the prices of electronic products such as computers and cameras have not increased, and have even dropped significantly. For example, a digital camera (point-and-shoot) bought in 2005, with 5 million pixels and 128M of memory, cost 2,600 yuan. Nowadays, a 12-megapixel camera with anti-shock function only costs 1,300 yuan with a 2G card.

The price reduction of these products is due to the increasing number of similar products on the market and the rapid replacement of products. Basically, as soon as a new model is released, the price of the old model is reduced.

No.5, mobile phones

The price of mobile phones has also dropped sharply. In 2000, a flip-top Ericsson mobile phone cost 1,400 yuan. The phone had only two functions: making calls and sending text messages. Nowadays, the most common mobile phone with camera function only costs 700 to 800 yuan. If you participate in the operator's activity of giving away a mobile phone by recharging your phone bill, the mobile phone will basically be given away for free.

In 2000, mobile phone calls were also very expensive, ranging from 0.6 yuan to 0.8 yuan/minute, and they were charged in both directions. Each text message within the network cost 0.1 to 0.15 yuan.

Now, the basic local call rate is 0.4-0.6 yuan/minute, and there are many packages to choose from, including free answering, virtual network, monthly SMS, long-distance discounts...

1. Electricity bill

The price of electricity has never been increased. It is about 5 cents per unit, and commercial electricity is between 0.86 and 1.8 yuan. After all, it is a people's livelihood project. Although some farmers complain that electricity bills are getting higher and higher after changing meters because there are more and more high-power appliances, the unit price of electricity has indeed not increased in 10 years.

2. Lottery

From the beginning to now, the price of lottery tickets has always been 2 yuan. Ten years have passed and the price of lottery tickets has not increased, but you who have bought lottery tickets for ten years have , have you already won the five million grand prize? Looking at it this way, lottery tickets are indeed very profitable. After all, there are so many people buying them, but only a few people win.

3. Newspapers

Ten years ago, newspapers cost a few cents. Today, newspapers cost about one yuan, and the price has not changed much. And it feels better in the hand than before. There are more and more editions, the user experience is getting better and better, and it has more weight.

4. Marriage certificate

A marriage certificate used to cost 9 yuan, and the price has never increased. Now it is free. But it is a pity that it is becoming easier and easier to obtain a marriage certificate, but people do not attach as much importance to marriage as before. The divorce rate in rural areas is increasing year by year, which is also a very sad thing.
