Do you think Government policies are helping or hurting the situation? Why?
The government may seem not to be doing their best because their policies are not working in the way we had hoped to see them affect the economy positively. However, the average citizens and by this I mean the small scale and medium scale business men/women are also faction of the problems altogether. People have now turned so greedy that they want profit nearly equivalent to the capital used in purchasing goods, and this has made the prices of commodities skyrocket making good living standard much competitive than ever to keep up with.
What strategies have you used to cope with rising price??
I do try as much as possible to buy everything groceries, provisions and other foodstuffs in bulk rather than buying them in very small quantities. This has helped me save more money than when I used to buying bit by bit because over here in my country it's as though the prices keep adding everyday.
