I think I focus more on my needs or goods/services I need everyday, as far as I tell there is much increase in price except in the price of water which I immediately stopped using after inquiring whether the increase is justified. Fortunately, there is steady supply of natural water at home which will could be boiled before drinking, even though it's clean physically.

I think if price of something increase so much, better to look for good alternatives of same/similar size rather than adding to the demand. If lots of people do this, that could force the price to come down.
