This period isn't an easy one lately for everyone and like you said, the price of things kept changing per day and makes it unbearable for even the least man to provide for himself.But come to think of it personally growing some farm produce would help out in this situations and there would be availability of what to eat or sell out to make money.
Having a small garden could help. You could grow some vegetables and some fruits that are regularly eaten in your household and the society. That way, you could have a good quantity of fruits and vegetables and some to sell if you'd be willing to make some little money on the side.
Or one could simply get another job. The hours can be exhausting working two jobs but perhaps it may be necessary to incur a second job to withstand the brute force of inflation.
There are some poor sections of the society who do not have any land to cultivate, they live below the poverty line which the middle class or the rich cannot even imagine. What arrangements will they make for their livelihood? They depend on some government allocations or earn their living by selling their labour every day. Except for some areas of the city, there is no provision for getting work in the rural areas. The wheel of inflation has crushed them in such a way that they cannot eat every day. They are not educated enough to get any work.
