CONCLUSION
During inflation,
👉👉always purchase all you need on time without delay to avoid rapid increase of such commodity.
👉👉Unnecessary saving should be avoided. Savings should only be made from excess income which one doesn't need at that moment.
I disagree with your placement. It makes sense, but if you can organize yourself before the inflation cycle, which in this case was predictable, you could do well.
Diversifying your investments into various assets could already help in gains and mitigate losses. Again, your placement makes sense, but it would be possible to avoid it.
