Bundles of vegetables in the city doubled in price, it’s not cheap to ship food from the countryside
After the shock of gas prices, people continue to face a new psychological trauma, more insidious but more intense: rising prices. At this level, if you wonder if a bunch of vegetables or a bowl of vermicelli increases by a few thousand, 100% of the reason you get it is because gasoline increase.
Actually hearing a few thousand dong is not a big deal, the problem is that everyone has 7,749 things to spend every day. And so just by doing mental calculations, the numbers for living expenses such as food, gas, electricity and water,… change rapidly. Life is not easy, now it’s even harder to breathe…
Goodbye coffee, milk tea, clothes,… let’s temporarily not look at each other!
There are 2 people in the house and their parents still “support” food every month from the countryside, so every day, food is paid for the house Huyen Anh (30 years old, Hanoi) falls around 160k. But that was before gasoline increased and now the number has increased to about 180 – 190k / day because from A – Z, everything increases by a few thousand.
“For a specific example, today I bought a tiny cauliflower for 15k, normally only about 10-12k. Fruits also increased in price, about a few thousand dong for per kilogram. Or at my office canteen, the price of beef noodles remains the same, but the feeling is much less meat. As for gas, I poured it from 400k / bottle, now it must be 500k. It’s cool to think!” – Huyen Anh made a quick review of his family’s eating and drinking situation after the price of gasoline increased.
Faced with this situation, she said that she is saving expenses, cutting back items like coffee, milk tea, clothes,… roughly “take away the poster”. “At the same time, I have been learning more ways to increase income such as financial investment, hoping to get through this difficult time.” – Huyen Anh shared more.
Gasoline price fluctuates, I’m… motionless
For Nam An (29 years old, Hanoi), the most obvious changes are shipping and gas costs: “In the past, I bought clothes, fruits, … the shipping fee to the inner city is 20-25k and now it’s 30-35k. It is said that gas prices also increased rapidly. I cook an electric stove, but my neighbor told me last time I changed gas for 320k, now it’s about 500k, the worst is 450k, the peak is 520k. WOMENMany shops have also started to increase their prices, yesterday the fish noodle shop near my company increased from 30k to 35k/bowl..
Like Huyen Anh, Nam An was also supported by her mother sending food and drinks from her hometown. She said that her mother sent her before I’m in a mood, I like it, I don’t like it, but now I send it regularly because I see an increase in everything. “But the fee for sending food has also increased from 50k to 100k” Nam An added.
Regarding how to deal with escalating prices, Nam An chose… to stand still and wait for price stabilization: “Gasoline prices fluctuate, so I’m still. Both the epidemic and the increase in gas prices, I will ‘hold my breath’ waiting for gasoline to decrease and stabilize the price.”.
Want to explode because of tight spending in the house
“Normally buying a few raw vegetables for the family to eat is about 15k, gas increases to 34k, stunned. Food increases due to increased shipping costs, I have to grit my teeth and endure”Hoa (HCMC) lamented.
Hoa has 2 small children, a family of 4, and a total of 600k for food a day. With the salary of a state worker, her husband has just returned to work after a period of unemployment plus the expensive living standard in the city, cutting back on family expenses at this time makes Hoa as happy as she wants. exploding” head.
Regarding the increase in gas, Hoa said that she has switched to using a stove for a long time, so the increase in gas prices has almost no effect on spending.
“This month is hot and hot, water and electricity are used a lot, spending will increase again. The whole family is trying to save, but especially with the current job, it is difficult to think of expanding income, sometimes there is only more online business. “Hoa confided.
A few thousand trifles each, but counting is exhausting!
Not going to the market or supermarket but Minh Thang (33 years old, Hanoi) also had to cry out for the price.
“MotherWhen my mother came back from the market, she started calling. She said that the daily food and vegetables at the market have increased in price. A few thousand trifles each, but the total cost of food for the whole family including grandparents, parents and 2 small children is also very tiring!” – Win face distortion.
Don’t look carefully at the price so that “the eyes don’t see the heart doesn’t hurt”
Meanwhile, Duy and Tho – 2 young people also living in Ho Chi Minh City said they did not pay much attention to the increase in food prices. Because they go to the supermarket once a week, each time they issue an invoice of 1-2 million, so they only pay for the total amount, not paying close attention to the price of a bunch of vegetables or a bag of onions that has increased thousands of dollars compared to the previous week. . According to both, the positive side of this habit is probably that “the eyes don’t see the heart without pain” and think about it lightly.
“I think this is just the beginning of the difficulty, only later will I feel the price increase more clearly”Duy added.
