Food prices

[iaaems]

I seem to recall the phrase "Live now - Pay later" as it appears to be how "we" live just now.
Perhaps it should be re-phrased as "Save now - Live later". I appreciate that may be regarded as "Boring" - but it does work - for me at least.
Saving has been part of my life for a very long time - I am not wealthy but I am not broke or under any sort of financial strain at the moment. To a certain extent this is a part of "prepping" that cannot be ignored.
Increases in food and basic essentials have been noted - but if you have 'planned ahead' these increases are just part of what it is all about.
To see folks cramming their shopping trolleys full of 'luxury items' fills me with a certain amount of 'disturbance' as I really hope these people will be able to pay their way next year. If they cannot then that is very definitely 'their problem'.
