Inflation now at 4%

[Pineapple Smurf]

i know fokkoli on this subject but 4% sounds little.
I got a 4.5% increase a year ago.
But it feels like i am alot poorer as lots of things went up in price in the last 12 months.
Who came up with this 4% kak? prolly some cANCer twat just before elections, viva comrades

What household groceries you buy have recently increased in price?

 

[backstreetboy]

Where DO you buy your groceries? Do you grow a lot yourself?

Mostly the local market (R7 for a sachet 1l milk etc.) or Checkers.

I'll just leave the here. If you think it hasn't gone up drastically you're living in the clouds.

Then there's the increased medical costs / electricity / water and patrol.

This isn't sustainable.

That's pretty cheap for milk.

Checkers is as expensive as most other big retailers, though. In my experience.

Meh, go into my Checkers after 5pm and its like half the shop has 50% off stickers - sometimes it looks like the dude just trying to get rid of excess stickers.

They get sneaky at times. They slap "sale" stickers on items without reducing prices. Woolies does this as well.
