Current inflation and higher expenses for me and my family.

Hello everyone.

✍️ Inflation in Thailand is now much higher. Prices of various consumer products domestically, the price is much more expensive than last year. Especially the price of gas that I have to use the car regularly, almost every day. My car is a big 7 seater SUV, 2500 CC diesel engine. Earlier this year I filled a full tank of gas for 1600-1700 baht (Thai currency). But now I fill up a full tank of gas for about 2300 baht (Thai currency).

My car.

✍️ In addition, the prices of other consumer products many things are more expensive after today I went to buy consumer products at Lotus. The supermarket in the area where I live that normally sells consumer products cheaper than other places. But today, the prices of many products have increased somewhat. For example, pork, chicken and eggs are much more expensive than last year and at the beginning of the year. Especially pork that I don't want to buy it, haha, but I need to buy it.

✍️ when I go to pay at the counter, I pay for consumer goods at a higher price than last year and at the beginning of the year. Even though I bought fewer consumer products. Now I have to make a plan. Buy consumer goods wisely to save on higher expenses. Because current inflation has clearly affected me and my family. If I do not plan various expenses My family and I may suffer in the future.

✍️ The plan I had in mind was Try to buy essential groceries online at prices that are as low or equal to supermarkets, markets, etc. Advantages of online shopping in today's digital era. There are many stores, each shop is highly competitive. The price of some products is cheaper and I don't have to drive to buy consumer products by myself. Waste of gas and waste of time in the purchase of consumer goods. But if some consumer goods are cheaper to buy online. I'm going to calculate the cost of all the groceries and think it's worth it for me to drive. (Car fuel) to buy those consumer products or not.

Expense control plan in my grocery shopping It might seem cumbersome and stingy. But it's the only way I can think of and can save me and my family money in the future. This is the story in today's post. Have a good day. See you again. Thank you for your support and visiting my post. Bye 🤗
