$7.40 for kaya toast set deemed “ridiculous” by Singaporeans online

It is comprehensible that a biz entity would face overhead costs, such as like you mentioned, rental, energy, labour, etc, not to mention a competitive Free Market to survive.
Thus a biz entity would have to be VERY careful on pricing & amenities it offers - to go for quantity or quality, or else the entrepreneurship will fold quickly, even if they have deep pockets. Such is only economics & none needs a PhD to realize such.
The issue is that the biz entity is not some fancy restaurant whereby one would enjoy a quiet breakfast like at Raffles Hotel, or serving Michelin star food, but is just a mere shop space whereby patrons are seated not even half an arms length away, worse than HDB hawker stalls, & yet it dares to charge such high prices for a mere breakfast meal that would had only cost $0.50cts at home to prepare or at most $1.50 with economy of scale in place for a biz concern with overheads to bear.
Singaporeans are not fools, so only those whom have deep pockets would spend there. It is THEIR money & none can criticize. Only thing is that the rich DO NOT get rich by spending, but by SAVINGS & being thrifty with only much carefully considered wise investments.
Fortunately for that biz entity, Singapore is a tourism spot with millions of tourist arrivals each year, & thus their market are the frivolous spendthrift citizens and Tourists. However, tourists too are not fools.
In time they will realize such high costs for a mere hole in the wall establishments & WILL thru social media spread the word of being SHORTCHANGED, & thus sadly, the belief that Singapore is an expensive place to go even for a vacation, harming our economy.....

That is the reality that businesses will only survive if they cater to customers who understand the country they are living in. People whether rich or poor, who cannot fork out a few dollars are simply not cooperating with modern society's rising inflation requirements and are true social outcasts already obsolete.
The rich do not get rich by savings alone but by earning enough money to rise above necessary rising costs of living.
The mind of malnourished skinny poor-looking rich people are probably mentally unstable, suffering from eating disorders, with phobias of losing their money. They should be admitted to IMH asap. Their malnourished skinny penises most likely cannot get hard due to phobia thrifting -- malnourished pussies most likely dry, cracked, wrinkled, no elasticity and very loose.

It's your hard earn money, to spend & none should criticize you for it.
Just to share a personal experience on exercise, & none needs to follow:-
No matter how hard the insignificant nobody me had to work to earn a living, I realized that health matters, more so one's body immune system - rest, proper diet & exercise, or else no matter how much wealth I had gained, would only feed medical costs when old age catches up, to keep me alive, to see another beautiful Earthly sunrise & loved ones....
Thus, I would rise each morning at 7am, have a glass of milk, then jog to the nearest estate playground in my estate, whereby thru thankfully to taxpayers funding, such were created not only for kids, but for all with gym workout equipment regardless if in private or public housing estates, with my ear-piece attached to my phone, to exercise the arms, the chest, the abdomen, legs, etc, & then jog back home, changed up & refreshed to face the challenges of work, of a new day....
It costs me nothing. Not even much of my time, as I live a busy lifestyle & have no time to book an appointment, drive, park & mingle with others at private gyms. Such equipment at tax payer funded open housing estate gyms may not be as sophisticated as private gyms, but it does serve its critical purpose - health.
The point is - Many had complained about cost of living & rising costs of living. In the end, each must consider EXACTLY WHAT is cost of living, or was it mere ASPIRASTIONS, to KEEP UP with the Joneses living next door?
You spent hundreds of dollars per month for exercise & health. It is pocket change for you. Good for you. It is your choice.
However my choice, I would rather donate the $2712/yr savings I had gained & much more, to needy charity orgs or contribute to our Nation's progress & evolution.. There is more to life than wealth accumulation...
Sinkies get the govt we voted for. They are milking their citizens dry.

This accounts for the lack of fluency in spoken English among the majority of adults in S'pore, in spite of 10 years or more of instruction in an English-medium school environment. Generations of S'poreans enter the working world hampered by their inability to be understood globally.

As concerns grow over housing affordability in Singapore, the government’s latest cooling measures reflect an urgent need to stabilise the market ahead of a high-stakes election, with experts warning that dissatisfaction over rising costs could become a pivotal issue.
“The angst, anxiety and anger that we are witnessing will be further stoked when the general election comes around,” said Eugene Tan, a law professor from the Singapore Management University.
“It will be part of the narrative that Singapore has become less egalitarian, more expensive, increasingly elitist.”
Last week, the Singapore government unveiled yet another round of measures aimed at cooling the housing market – the fourth such intervention since December 2021 – as part of efforts to ensure that public housing flats, home to around 80 per cent of the population, remain affordable and equitably distributed.

There are some who spent $1 at the tote board but won back $1 million. Don't be jealous just because you didn't win.
