For someone from India is this expensive for a samosa?

It depends on from where you purchased, the average price of samosa is 10 to 15 rupees per plat.

India is a very backwards country. only 25% of them have a inside toilet. They dont wash their hands with soap and water and their men are scrawny and weak because they dont eat beef, The only good thing bout India is their rural women. Their rural females seem to have quite hugh tators (probably due to the unlimited supply of cow juice), thick black hair that grows below their curvy butts, nice naturally straight teeth and fertile wombs that

 pump out 10 kids in 5 years alone!

Firstly I can't stop my laugh samosas. samosas prices in India per piece in 12 to 20 rs and depend on samosas type and depend on the place...

This is cheap cos foreign food sold in hawaii tend to cost more as ingredients may need to be imported and it is harder to find Indians to make samosas in Hawaii.

You can't take $1.50 and translate into rupees to get a clean comparison.  Remember, wages in India are no where near what they are in the US.  Their average annual salary is around USD$20,000.  It's an entirely different scale for income and expense.

Welcome to the world of Food Pricing.

What a restaurant or some other food place sells an item for has many things built into the price. Cost of the food ingredients is industry standard about 30-35%

Add to that things like insurance, utilities, rent, wages, taxes  to get the final sale price of an item.

The cost to produce this item in other places is just different. If you want the price in India and as you have already noted a very large place the price is not the same in every village and the price is also not identical at every seller in the big city.

FOOD in most large land areas is much cheaper than food imported to isolated islands.

Just the way it is.

Samosas are not very hard to make yourself.and can be done at home for a lower cost than you purchase ready made items.

Thousands of recipes to pick from.

Sellers also try to maximize their profit and sell for the highest price customers are willing to pay.

In your situation you are willing to pay $1.50 or few minutes worth of labor at the local wage rate.

much lower input costs in India, lower wage rates and a lower selling price when compared to some other place on the planet like an isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

If you want the India price just go to India and purchase as many as you want.

The price per piece is under 10 rupees for ready made.

$1.50 is not expensive. Many food items have to be brought into Hawaii on a boat, which raises the costs. 

What it might cost in India has no bearing on what it might cost in Hawaii.

There are many cost factors in anything, both direct (cost of materials), indirect (how much rent the proprietor pays in rent for the shop) and economic (how much must the vendor must make to live) and finally market (how much a purchaser is willing to pay).

So if you think that $1.50 is a fair price, go ahead and pay it. If you think it is too much, then don't.

yes i think so s
