Barang2 makin mahal tak at your location? Your shopping habits have been affected tak? Or still the same?
Jom citer2 sikit.

Moms' new battle: The food price bulge
Beyond clipping coupons, families are embracing generic grocery brands, and making their own baby food and detergent

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As American families face the double whammy of higher gas and food prices, moms nationwide are resorting to considerable ingenuity to stretch their monthly grocery budget.

For instance, Christina Pond of Arlington, Texas, makes her own detergent.

Pond, 26, a stay-at-home mom with an almost 8-month old daughter, does four loads of laundry every other day.

My mom cakap memang banyak barang sudah increase the price.
Dulu my mom bayar 35pound per week but now hampir 50pound even hanya shopping di Tesco or Saintbury;s.

aku tak worried sgt kat sini sebab yg nampak ketara naik petrol, itupun sebab ikut world market.
yg aku risau nak balik malaysia ni, brg semua naik, gaji bukan naik pun. benda tu jadi tak selaras.
mcm sini, ko ada choice nak beli brg first, second atau third grade. mcm aku, aku amik third grade oklah, cuma kena buat kerja lebih sikit la. nak lagi murah, aku pi beli kat farm terus.

aku tak mkn kat luar, pizza pun aku bikin sendiri. makanan kat kedai memang semua dah naik harga. banyak benda aku boelh buat sendiri, aku buat la. mcm diapers anak, aku maintain pakai huggies, aku beli masa sale + coupon, so aku save banyak. aku punya style, every week aku survey flyer, kalau ada brg yg murah, aku beli abnyak dan simpan stok mcm minyak, beras semua tuh. sabun basuh baju pun cmm tu gak, time sale aku beli simpan.

aku jenis tak berkira nak spend utk makan, tapi aku cut belanja lain la mcm baju tu, kalau nak bergaya sgt, aku cari la kat thrift store ker.

so far aku tak worried la kalau duk sini tapi yg menjadi masalah, hujung tahun ni dah nak balik. last year aku balik pun aku dah terasa brg mahal, apatah lagi sekarang kan? aku tak nak la sampai makan pun kena catu, tak suka la. dah la cukai pintu kat JB naik lagi.. cessss

hang igt senang ker nak tanam? lepas tanam nak kena tuai, nak kena jemur, nak hantar pi kilang lagi. penat weh  --> balik ari tu tgk MIL duk sibuk menuai padi. aku surrender la nak buat

kalau duk kampung, ok la kan sumer blh tanam, cuba duk bandar yg tadak tanah? tanam dlm pasu? setakat tanam daun kari, daun kunyit, cili api boleh la kot.

aku pun tgh berangan nak menanam dlm pasu bila balik nanti. rumah kami tadak tanah,semua dah simen konkrit. back yard langsung tadak.

buat aku rasa nak balik duk kampung jer.

Kat sini masa I memula sampai 2005, $50 boleh jugaklah penuh trolley supermarket tu. Sekarang ni, $50 dlm bakul je.

Semalam baru ada new budget keluar. Banyak benefits kena potong. Nampaknye kalau I terberanak lagi, tak dpt lah baby bonus.

Selling family treasures to pay bills
NEW YORK (AP) -- The for-sale listings on the online hub Craigslist come with plaintive notices, like the one from the teenager in Georgia who said her mother lost her job and pleaded, "Please buy anything you can to help out."

Masa pindah sini dulu2 I mmg boleh katakan shopping tiap2 hari. Sbb kena beli everything from scratch, dari baju hingga lah ke barang2 dapur n furniture.

Skrg ni tak giller shopping lagi walaupun still suka keluar shopping. Shopping sekarang dah lain category. No more frivolous thingies. Walaupun gaji husband lebih banyak dari dulu, I skrg ni lebih kedekut. I tak lagi beli barang just for the sake of buying atau sbb I want it or saja gatal nak beli sbb duit tu panas je dlm purse. Pernah husband tanya kat I samada I ni sakit, stress or homesick ke? Sbbnye I jarang perabiskan duit dia, tak mcm dulu2 lagi.

Tapi satu je, bila pasal barang2 makanan/groceries, I tak berkira. Time boleh makan baik kita makan. Nanti bila dah tak boleh makan, teringin nak makan pun tak boleh masuk lagi. Tapi of course lah, makan tu kena berpada2. Kalau tak jadi mak buntal lak.

cth groceries shopping la. ni utk kat ontario la ( kang aku cakap kanada, ada org  lain terloncat lak )

first grade- sobeys
second- zehrs
third- food basic

bezanya, kalau buah/sayur/roti kat sobeys tu yg terpilih, gred A, takder cacat langsung, nice packaging. tempat shopping tersusun dan provide plastik bag,

kat zehrs kira moderate.

food basic ni kira kalau beli sayur /buah tu, tahan paling lama 2 weeks la sebab namapun murah kan. kalau beli sayur, kena rajin cuci dan pilih-pilih la. pastu tak provide plastik, kena bawak sendiri atau pakai kotak atau beli dgn dia plastik tu

flyers- kadang-kadang kat sobeys pun ada harga brg murah, so kita beli brg tu kat situ. tapi ingat, beli yg sale jer, kalau kita angkut benda lain, jadi mahal jugak.

satu lagi, jgn beli well known/establish brand. beli la store brand atau no name brand utk lagi murah.lain la kalau sale.

daging tadak choice la  , pesal kena  beli kat halal store. kalau a big family, beli kat farm terus, satu kotak ker tapi kena ada freezer besar la

My mom selalu beli groceries from in house brand.
Di UK mcm Tesco ada produce their own brand contoh susu,tissue paper,milk,peas etc....

so beli in house brand ni lebih murah banyak compare extablished brand seperti premier for tissue toilet.

masa election Krude ckp nak cut tax benefits from 250k income threshold, la ni 150k pulak..as for baby bonus tu starting from Jan 09 memang tak merasa lah jawabnya kalau beranak tahun tu dan seterusnya..anyway tu baby bonus tu patut derang hapuskan je..just tambah kat family tax benefit/payment..sbb ramai yg salahguna itu bonus..
