I wonder, especially in other countries, how drastic is the change in your daily life that's brought about by this economic downturn?
Life changed a lot for me and my family over the last year. The rising inflation is noticeable the most in the food prices, it feels like I am spending 50% more on food now than I did 1 year ago. My grocery bills started to skyrocket last summer, and even though we switched to cheaper brands prices are still rising. Just one examples are fresh products like salad, tomatoes and cucumbers, the price for them increased 35% in less than a year. The second big problem is heating, with the new high energy prices we lowered the temperature 2 degrees at home. Really sad times we live in now, usually we went skiing for a week during the winter, but this year we will save the money instead.
