Hello everyone, today was one of those days I did market runs and the current high price of things is so draining that I almost cried. I can’t help but feel the exhaustion creeping in.
The rising price of things are weighing heavily on my mind and it is so heartbreaking because it is affecting daily lives. The struggle to afford basic necessities can be very stressful. It is heartbreaking when the cost of living keeps rising, making it harder for people to make ends meet. I’m very sure this situation is causing a financial strain for many individuals.
Despite feeling tired, I can’t help but think about the people who can’t even afford to do 3 square meals daily, people who are not even on the average side. I wonder how they manage to eat and cope with their daily struggles. It is really sad for me to think about their situation.
Generally, it is becoming difficult to stick to a stick to a budget and make ends meet, when you go to the market, yesterday’s price won’t be today’s price anymore. Managing finances in this situation requires careful planning and resourcefulness. Something happened in the market again today, I don’t know if anyone here has been facing the same thing. Like did you not notice the market people are becoming so harsh? The market vendors react harshly during bargaining due to the economic conditions.
I understand their frustration though, their frustration reflects the impact of rising prices on both party which is the buyers and sellers. I know things are hard, so when anyone faces this in the market, just try to show empathy and understanding while negotiating it can help to dissolve the tense situation. Another thing that happened today was the traffic I faced when I was heading back home from the market. When I was heading home from the market, I encountered traffic which made my journey longer and very stressful. As we all know waiting in the traffic can be very frustrating and all this is happening when I wasn’t even feeling that good earlier because of the hike in price of things. I just decided to listen to musics with my EarPods on to relieve myself mentally and feel relaxed.
When I finally arrived home I was so happy to see food waiting for me, it really helped calm my nerves from the market and traffic stress. You all can tell enjoying a delicious meal after a challenging day can be very comforting, it made me feel recharged.
Just remember to eat no matter what Lol…
Let’s stay strong, kind and hopeful. Let’s keep supporting each other in this difficult time. May God bless us all.
Thank for your time.

Totally relatable. I went to the market few days ago with my mom and we had to walk and bargain so much just to buy something that used to be cheap. May God help us
I swear, it is frustrating.
The economy is rough. Things have never been the same after the lockdowns and I think it will take some time before things improve. The governments haven't been doing great on the inflation end.
These days market conditions outside arent going well that supports all people to have a satisfied mood. Commodities are higher, expecting a price hike conditions that can cost the common people much.
Anyway all of these are due to the economy conditions heading to potential deterioration.
Marketing your products nowadays needs endurance. God bless you .
The food that was waiting for you after market run, who later cook am?
Na my friend.

Their frustration is indeed understandable, some of them have very thin to no profit margins from what they're selling. Sometimes, I just buy what they say the price of the item is without trying to bargain with them, especially from the elderly sellers :)
