Food prices are rocketing, and contributing significantly to inflation, which this week hit double digits for the first time in five years.
I know how to bring the prices down buy 14% in one shot.
Most South Africans are their own worst enemy on this subject. Always have extra time when shopping. Always reward the business with the lowest prices buy buying there. Do not worry about holding up the Q people will start understanding, remember the price you see is the price you pay, point it out to the cashier at the time of purchace and you will get your money back. Watch the prices and know them. Know the price you are willing to pay (the price you paid at the same store last time do not pay more just to get out of there. Try to shop in bulk. Always budget before shopping. The retailers/wholesalers WILL start to get the picture and trim their profit margins,they can explain to shareholders at a later stage why the % profit forever increasing is not sustainable.It is like voting one buy can make a difference,if you say I just cannot be bothered then I say you deserve the prices you get.
