Inflation is process in which prices of

Learning to deal with inflation is very important
This is how I as a person deals with inflation
For example there was a period when prices of products like soaps, cream medications toiletries and foodstuffs ( rice and garri )were expensive and these things are needed .
These things are life’s necessities
They are pretty much needed
For instance In the case of garri
There are different types of garri the common ones are the ijebu and Igbo garri , I do not like eating ijebu garri but there was a point where igbo became very expensive and hard to afford that I had to learn to start eating ijebu garri
There are other instances
As at 2022, 2023 Rice became very expensive especially the foreign ones making it difficult to buy and the Nigerian rices that were available and affordable was filled with sand
I had to go for the Nigerian rice because of inflation
Another way I deal with inflation is to prioritize my needs using the scale of preference
I had to take care of my needs first before my wants .
I stopped buying products or were selling at a higher price because of there brand and starting going for the cheaper ones (buying Sonia instead of Gino tomatoes)
Then for transportation
I started trekking short distances instead of boarding a vehicle then in long distance place I board a cab instead of a tricycle or motorcycle because tricycle and motorcycle charges more
I started cultivating my own crops (vegetables okra pepper and tomatoes) at the back of my house , doing these things saved me or rather helped me during inflation
I stopped accepting invitations that’s my presences is not necessarily required,going to places that really require my presence
I stopped buying some much foodstuffs and started getting what Is needed at the moment because too much foodstuffs may lead to wastage of foodstuffs
Cooking food for only the number of people available.

Proper cooking of foods to prevent food spoilage
I stopped putting on my generator on a daily basis, I started rotating it inorder to save fuel and reduce the money spent on fuel consumption
I started eating only what was required , eating only when I feel hungry and not anytime I feel the urge to eat I stopped giving in to my craving.

Thank you for stopping and reading my blog today i really appreciate it.
