The soaring gas / fuel prices are getting out of hand. Some of us can’t simply afford going out on the daily, simply by going to work, picking up groceries, nor doing the things we love to do. This is leading up to the day of shutdowns in the beginning of 2020! You just can’t do anything without it costing you a whole limb!

Not only that; Have you seen the cost of groceries now? We don't get paid fairly anymore due to 4 billion dollar companies that states “It’s not in our budget to hand you a raise, but for your efforts here’s 0.25 for your yearly wage.” How does this justify the outrages economy we are living in?

Groceries

Since 2019, Prices were fair. You able to get $200.00 worth of food ( full cart); But now, we are dealing with supply shortages, fluctuated prices, and at its ongoing peak of price hikes.

What places can help you break down your cost?

HelloFresh , Blueapron and other fresh deliverable foods helps you save up to 30% of cost. 115.00 can literally buy you a full weeks worth of food, this covers main course, vegetables and condiments; no hassle of driving to the stores. Shop at Sam’s Club or Costco or any other bulk shopping stores, buy the essentials in bulks, this can last you 3 months (if use sparingly) and if you find coupons, this is your friend use it! Being a member at Costco and Sam’s Club, you can save the extra money for gas.
