I went grocery shopping early today at a supermarket in our town. All I could manage were two heavy bags of groceries and they’re not complete. I’ll just buy the rest at the grocery store just outside the gate of our village.
The prices of basic commodities have definitely gone up and we could not do anything except close our eyes and buy them. Price of eggs goes up every week. I wonder why. Inflation rate has gone up again last month. It seems the present government is not doing anything, more than a month in office and we don’t see future plans for the economy. Where are we going Philippines?
It is raining again, that kind that takes so long to stop. My rain lilies are blooming. I am including a photo here.
Everything is going up here too, Arlene. They say egg prices are increasing because of the price rise in Chicken food. Our shopping bill is now around £100 a week, every week, 6,701.11 Philippine peso
And that is only for two of us, plus Ollie.
Best wishes, Pete.

For us who don’t earn much just relying on small monthly pension, that’s a big amount Pete. Keep safe and regards to Julie.

Yes, everything is so expensive. What fits a grocery cart 1 year ago can barely fit a 3rd of it. Gas, before the Ukraine and Russia war was 2 dollars less. Everything up except basic pay. It’s crazy.

The prices of basic commodities are more shocking now, even the lowly sardines.
