I suppose that we’re all trying to desperately save money wherever we can these afternoons.
No one expected inflation levels to get to the point where they’re sitting right now as we enter the Summer yet again.
While the COVID-19 pandemic is slowly morphing into endemic status, people are still getting sick in addition to facing forced toil quarantines. Between losing income to positive COVID tests in addition to contractors regularly being short staffed, I can’t imagine the economic problems are going to improve anytime soon. We are all left to our own devices to figure out one way or another to afford our basic essentials in addition to everyday groceries. The rise in cost of raw meat is almost as poor as the rise in cost of gasoline in certain. If you have a fixed income that didn’t increase with the rise in cost of living, you’re screwed financially. I suppose certainly poor for the people who aren’t just hit by these high prices, however also priced out of their respective markets. For instance, I started taking CBD products annually when my local stores started carrying them in 2019. The full spectrum CBD products I use were regularly expensive, however in the past year the price has gone up by 25% at the least. I had to look for odd sources for CBD or I wouldn’t be able to afford it at all, however thankfully there are some amazing online CBD vendors that have competitive prices on safe products that undergo lab testing. You can beat that level of value, especially if you’re buying CBD currently that doesn’t have paperwork explaining where it came from.
