My market Friday today is much different from the previous one. I'm going to share how the prices of the commodities getting higher.
This supermarket is noted for a very cheap and giving promotional price weekly before but now no more.
In the first week of August, we bought these stuff worth 100 USD more or less. Prices were too high since the government was imposing a 15% value-added tax plus another sin taxes. It really hurt the people most especially like us who work here.
Aside from the increase, the value of my currency versus USD is declining. Generally, the economy is really affected.
Yesterday, we bought another need for the house and the total amount was so high.
I'm so worried about their capacity if the prices are changing day by day. This is so alarming and so worry if we will be affected. They have a habit of spending extravagantly. Unlike other people, they have a well-calculated budget for a month.
My boss is not greedy and open arms giving what their children wanted. Before, it was not an issue, but now, not only the climate of the world had changed. The economy has a tragic change.
What should we do?
The economic crisis is not only happening in this rich country. The more it affected the poor country like my homeland. How about the others? My friend, would you tell me about what's going on in your market?
Anyway, this country is one of the richest countries in the world. The people here are so lucky if they know how to use their wealth and they could sustain their living. What I observed here is that some people are lazy and so dependent.
Whereas my country is poor but we have all the natural resources that could support our daily needs if we work it out. What we need is a good system on how to fight poverty.
Suggestions
My dear hiver friends, I would like to take my chance and a great opportunity to share some suggestions on how we could survive the pandemic that affected our market and lifestyle.
If you have a place in a province, please go home and cultivate your land. Gardening today is the most effective way of how to fight the crisis and the pandemic.
If you have no land, use to have an improvised garden by taking clay or soil and make a potted garden in your backyard. Try to plant the most basic necessary plant we need every day. And don't forget to plant some herbs that we could use when we will be sick. Al least if we are sick, we could have the first aid to use, using out the organic plant.
If we have it in our land or small garden, there's no need to go out. I'm pretty sure, if we plant it now, we could have a harvest in a month.
We could reap and have a good harvest if we sow and plant. Let's do it and in this way, we are also making the mother earth back to normality. We are helping the world produce a quality environment as well.
Let us make good marketing of our life. Invest it with a good investment.
Thank you for your initiative and I hope you still accept this kind of #marketfriday post and find it interesting too.
That's all for today and more updates next time.
The pandemic is still continuing to its force. Let us fight it and don't get lost. Be healthy and we could survive.
