Hello my friends, do you have the serious inflation in your city this year? Just now when I went to the supermarket, I notice lots of food have gone up 0.10 percent of the original prices. Does this worry or upset you? How will you deal with? Please feel free to share your view on this year’s inflation. Thanks!

I went grocery shopping this morning too and noticed the rising prices. It also took $50 to fill up my gas tank right before. It's going to be hard because we already don't spend a lot of extra money on things we don't need. So, there's not much to cut out. I just keep doing coupons and looking for sales. I've also been attempting to clear the clutter and sell unwanted stuff in garage sales and ebay. We'll just work through it.

True, we only can find alternative ways to put up with the rising prices. Life is not easy. Thanks for sharing your view.

Hello Madonal. I have to say "Yes" to this question. Everything here is on the rise. Take cooking oil and rice for example. They used to be much cheaper, but now the prices of cooking oil and rice are increasing and I do not see any sign of it going down. I hope that this inflation will come back to its previous normal status some day soon.

Yes, I really believe that the US is in a recession. Food prices continue to rise and the prices have risen drastically on some items over the last few weeks, fuel prices have been rising for some time and show no signs of slowing and the national debt is out of control. How to deal with it? Living within my means, using coupons everytime I shop and stocking up, so I make less trips to the store.

Does this worry me yes. We don't do alot in the way of entertainment. Netflix is about our scope. We use coupons and rebates when possible. Mostly just take it a day at a time.

Hello there, thanks for sharing your view. Unfortunately, we don’t have any coupons and rebates here as the local supermarket hardly use this way to promote their products. So we will try to pay for the sale products to save money and maintain our life.

I have noticed the price of food going up! Bananas are .75 cents a pound and a gallon of milk was over $4.00. I think alot of people will be applying for food stamps or losing alot of weight as they won't be able to afford to buy this high priced food.

Hello there, if some people might lose lots of weight because they won't be able to afford to buy the high priced food, they would thank the inflation. – Just kidding. I know what you actually mean. Life is getting harder...consumers will have less quality life than what they used to have. Thanks for sharing your view.
