The price of food and other basic commodities will soon rise in many places around the world. What are some commodities that are produced domestically or will remain inexpensive where you live? What do you expect will become more expensive? Please include your country of origin or region of the world in your reply.
I live in the US and honestly, I don’t think anything will remain inexpensive. Even stuff that is produced domestically will go up in price because a) the value of the dollar will contine to decrease and b) if companies can get away with increasing prices while pointing to some external excuse, they will.
Gas? It’s so much cheaper than the EU, even when it’s at its more expensive in the US
Mhm, even when prices are at outrage levels in the US it’s probably half the price of what it typically sells for in Europe.
The quality is a little better, though (e.g. less sulfur, typically of a higher octane rating).
I have no clue here, so can you clarify your last sentence?
Where is the quality better? Europe or USA?
The US overproduces some crops that USAID used to buy and send overseas. The local supply will increase, some reckon by a lot, and prices may crash as local demand is just not there.
There is only relatively expensive.
Literally everything has gone up with every excuse possible.
Covid, some ship that blocked the Suez canal?!, war in ukraine, not enough rain, too much rain.
Prices never go down after.
Clay, I can walk 100 meters and dig it out of the ground for free.
Water, it rains about 200 days a year.
Dollar tree sells staples at a dollar 25
Wouldn’t you get a better deal if you bought a bigger box of staples at a different retailer?
Lotta cranberry bogs here, and tomatoes.
We have garbage plates here, so maybe not. I mean. I know what cheese curds are, but getting them is annoying! (NJ)
