Topic: How to save as food inflation jumps more than 11% in a year - page 2. (Read 928 times)

How to beat food inflation:
1.Eat less. Fasting is good for our health(even though I hear that some experts say that fasting is bad for our health). I don't know anything about nutrition and endocrinology.
2.Raise your own fruits and vegetables in your own garden or piece of land. The costs of doing agriculture are raising as well. The fall/winter are coming and you can't raise vegetables right now.
3.Increase your income. Get a promotion and a higher salary. Grow your small business. I can't give any particular advise about how to do that.

Great tips. And I am actually doing them all. Another thing we did at home is we plant some manageable kinds of stuff like vegetables and fruits in front and at the back of our house. And I live in a small lot only with like 15 to 20 square meters of space. It first started when I stopped my plan to make a terrace in front of our house due to these hard times. One time while eating a sweet watermelon, I threw its seeds in front of our house. I didn't expect for it to grow up so we take care of it. To make it short, we harvested 9 big sweet watermelons before the plant died. Because of that incident, we already planted pumpkins, bitter gourds, chili plants, and many more that are not demanding of space.

The inflation that is difficult for us to avoid is from the food sector, and the fact that it happens that food inflation always occurs every year. There is no special trick that I run in life, when inflation occurs, the first thing I do is be selective and reduce unnecessary needs, such as vacations, eating at restaurants and so on.

~ In this hard time, it is very important to avoid waste. Hence every family must ensure they only prepare food that would be consumed without much waste. Like in my house, in order to avoid waste I have domestic animals like poultry birds that feed from food remnants and we also use their droppings as manure for our small garden. When they are matured we use them as our source of eggs and meat.    

That's right. We have little experience in storing food and we don't have an appropriate equipment, so it is very likely that a big part of the food we want to preserve will go bad. The best strategy, in my opinion, is trying to find the places where we can buy cheaper food, and, of course, where we can earn some additional money.

I don't think buying food and stocking is a good idea if that's what you mean, the best way around this is to live below your means and add some other cash flows.

There are bad investments too of course, it's not impossible to lose money, in fact it's good as to lose money which is why you should invest carefully, but it is not about "how" you invest, it's about what you invest into. Like if you are buying an estate, you could buy a rundown horrible one for overpriced value, or you could buy a great one undervalued.

That is the more stressful thing - inflation is killing everyone
Apart from this I have noticed one more thing - families and couples are fighting like crazy. I think this is post Covid depression which is affecting every household.

Most inflation will start from the price of food ingredients, this is because everyone needs food, when an increase in the electronics or fashion is that most people can hold it by not buying, but if inflation occurs in the food sector, this will have a broad impact.

In a condition of worsening economic crisis. and when inflation is rising. I think for some people it must be difficult to save their finances. even the allotment of saving is reduced or even unable to save at all.

but I think an alternative way is always there.
if you are more observant in paying attention to market prices, especially in food prices. then you will find a price gap that is in the market and the price sold from farmers directly. then there is also the gap between instant food and raw food that needs to be processed.

This is where we need to make changes in our habits of life. especially in terms of shopping for our daily food needs.

if you usually buy instant food which is relatively more expensive. can be 2x-3x the original price of the food before processing. then reduce or stop buying instant or ready-to-eat foods. and make it a habit to buy raw materials that need to be processed yourself. in the markets actually a lot of raw food sold. which is relatively cheaper. and if you have an acquaintance of a farmer. then buying from farmers directly for stock will be much better. because you will save more money. although indeed in its processing you need a little hard work. but that way you can still save and save money when inflation is rising today.

I found the fact that even though the price of fertilizer was getting higher, the selling price of food from farmers did not experience a higher increase.

and if you know the fact that the price of food in the market is 3x the price of the direct farmer.

there are still many ways to save money in this time of inflation if we want to find an alternative way. Moving to the countryside is also a very good thing. because the price there is much cheaper in terms of food because it is directly from farmers. we can also grow crops there. and we are also easy to find firewood. when gas reserves run out. so we can also save energy.
