Yesterday I watched BBC news that reported the economical crisis is getting deeper than people thought before. In the UK unemployed people number has reached the high point in history. It made me worrying about future and the inflation. I decide more careful when I’m shopping. If it’s not very necessary I will postpone buying or just not buying. How about you? Compared to one month ago, how price-conscious are you when you are shopping?

Actually, I am about the same as one month ago, as nothing has changed. I am pretty tight right now, but am looking at an opportunity. Hopefully things will turn around in the near future.
I am afraid that a big part of are economic crisis is the fact that even the people who have money, aren't spending. This in turn has slowed the economy more than it should be slowed down. Warren Buffet has stated that he thinks it will take 5 years to get it back to the way it was. I hope it doesn't take that long.

ya with such increasing prices out there we need to be careful out in spending money in the current hiking price world
firstly the main hike is in the daily commodities that is breaking the back of poor and middle people
so it has become important to save money and
do our purchasing consiously

I have always been careful with my shopping so its not really having much of an eefect on me really. I always set a budget for the month of how much i have to spend on this and that.
Has anyone else noticed that the prices for food and stuff are slowly starting to creep up by a few pence here and there?





it's not totally bad, at least this crisis made you being a resonalbe shoper.
