The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: Have you had to change your shopping habits due to inflation?
Talk about it.
Not much, don’t need much since I shop for myself.
No……..I got a speeding ticket the other day, so I gotta drive slow now, which will save gas.
I do not like shopping, never have, never will. But my shopping habits have not changed. I shop for groceries once a month and buy enough to last a bit longer. With the prices going up, I just spend more and am reminded how much I detest Joe Biden. Not only because his policies are the reason for the increase in prices, but for his contempt towards the American people in his attempt to blame everything on Putin, Russia, and the war in Ukraine.
You mean how Trump made 99% of this stuff happen? Biden didn’t blame all on Russia lol. He clearly said. Things will go up more because of the war which happens with any war that had ever happens…. Things were already going up before the war happened and they even stated. When Trump ruined this country. Prices will soar for awhile until things can get back to normal.
@Me… Lol. Hilarious!!! I can’t believe you are that delusional.
@Me—What are you babbling about? Who is talking about Trump? Nowhere in my comment did I mention Trump, nor did I defend him in any way.
Of course, my income never rises as fast as prices.
What inflation?
Just a bit of a change…but mostly for my health. Then of course growing some veggies like every spring/summer/fall here. Have cut back on outing/shopping from 3x to 2x a week to spend less at the pump. Otherwise, not much else.
… not yet …. maybe soon
Don’t want to buy bigger pants, so don’t mind buying less food.
Win, win.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that it has changed my shopping habits but it has sure changed how much I have to spend to complete my shopping. Prices are outrageous and if it doesn’t get any better than there may well come a time when it does change my shopping habits.
I know who is to blame for all of this and I don’t need any “news” source to try and tell me otherwise.
It’s a world-wide problem.
More to come! Thank you California Voters!
California to raise its gas tax, already the highest in the nation
California’s gas tax to rise to 53.6-cents per gallon on July 1.
Well…
The tea I buy went up 20%… So there is that….
yes, not purchasing things unless absolute necessity, either due to the inflated price, or inability for it to be supplied.
I’m spending less money on masks these days
I’m shocked no one is blaming the DA Becton. Amazing… 🤣
Yes. Rarely eat out anymore. Have drastically reduced snack food and generally have cut portions by about 25-30%. Combine errands to limit driving.
Have to save money to be able to pay for wine. 😁
Pretty soon you will have to stop eating in order to pay your bills and rent or mortgage.
The inflation hasn’t changed my food shopping very much, as I buy for myself and shop at two stores exclusively.
Gas has been a concern, so I have done almost all of my other shopping online.
The only thing I’ve been increasing is my emergency food supply. Mostly Rice and Beans. I am concerned about possible food shortages. That and a fair amount of bottled water.
Yes. . now that it cost so much to fill our gas tank we’ve cut out lunches and dinners at restaurants. And with the rise in supermarket prices we are watching it very closely and not buying some things. The rising gas prices is costing us about an extra $150 a month. And now the prices in the supermarket it’s costing us about the same even though we’re cutting back.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re in a recession in a few more months.
And the government’s plan to solve this issue is…. *Drumroll*
Socialism.
