It's no longer news or new thing how inflation has ravaged the globe, especially that of Africans and things are getting more expensive every day by day. Usually, when things are getting tougher there should be ways of preventing, reducing or economizing things to suit the current economical situation. Most times things gets unusual high in the market, and what you would buy today in the market or at the supermarket will doubled and like, I will be how? Just what I got last few days has doubled? Again, money doesn't have any value what you think could sustain you for a week is no longer taking you to 4 days. So, I want to ask over here to know the ways or technique you uses at home to reduce and save cost.

There are several ways to reduce cost, take for instance you create a very large area of land in your village where you will be planting different kind of foods and you maintain the steady planting of this crops did know that this would help in reducing cost? as you will be getting most of this foods from your farm, and then go to the market to get the remaining ones instead of depending solely on the ones you're getting from the market. This way the cost won't have much effect on you, because sometimes you can decide not to buy from the market and just manage the ones you have at home. of course this is how I do sometimes when things is getting on my neck or maybe when I see that the price of goods is not going as expected i will have no other option than to reach my love ones who are in the village to arrange some food stuffs for me this way it will also reduce cost for me.

This is correct and I did took advantage of this presently now that I based in my home town and it was much encouraging to me knowing that we have a larger family land to cultivate, it saves me money to have used to purchase a for this purpose, i did lots of planting including vegetables, plantain plantation, tomatoes and whole lots of them, the feeling is always different harvesting from your farm and buying and most times you get them very fresh from the farm compared to buying, of course doing some subsistence farming can reduce costs.
