yesterday morning, the Tianqiao District border district of elder sister Chen brought vegetable basket to the nearby Yang Zhuang farmers market to buy vegetables. After two rounds in the vegetable market, there are several things in her basket: pork, eggs, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach and grapes. "These meat, vegetables and fruits cost a total of 48 yuan. Compared with last year, the price of eggs, vegetables and fruits has risen a lot, except that the price of pork has changed little. Indeed, the cost of living is increasing.
on the way home, Mrs. Chen bought breakfast for the whole family: two Chinese hamburgers and a pancake. As the price of raw materials rose, the price of breakfast also increased, Hamburg from the original 2.5 yuan / 3 yuan / A, and the pancake from the past 0.5 yuan / 0.6 yuan /. "A breakfast, 1.1 yuan more."
the National Statistics Bureau recently announced the October national economy major indicators, consumer prices rose 4.4% year on year, a rise of 25 months to a new high, food prices rose by 10.1%. Under high prices, many consumers involuntarily tighten up the "pocketbook" life, making the "vegetable basket" change accordingly.
elder sister Chen is working in a private enterprise with a monthly income of about 1500 yuan; her husband works in a business unit, and the monthly income is about 3000 yuan; the child is reading high school and the mortgage loan is 1800 yuan a month. As a housewife, she is responsible for daily expenses and is particularly sensitive to price changes.
elder sister Chen worked out a "family expense account": a family of 3 people, about 5 kilograms of pork per month, about 100 yuan, 200 yuan for vegetables, 40 yuan for eggs, 150 yuan for seafood, 50 yuan for fruit, and 50 yuan in half a barrel of peanut oil. "Only in this way, it takes nearly 600 yuan a month." She said that, for a period of time, she has really felt the pressure of rising prices. In the past, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, garlic sprouts, and other high prices in winter wanted to eat, and now they were "worried". "Tomatoes 5 yuan / kg, eggplant 4 yuan / kg, garlic seedlings 10 yuan / kg, really expensive." Nowadays, most of the dishes in Chen's elder basket are Chinese cabbage, radish, spinach, wax gourd and other common winter dishes. When she meets supermarket eggs and vegetables for promotion, she will queue up with many people. "Tomato scrambled eggs and stewed cabbage are all dishes, but the price is 3 times worse." "She said in the newspaper yesterday that the price of cabbage and rapeseed declined, and bought some. The price of small yellow and scallop and other seafood rose, and decided to not eat for the time being." She also told reporters that after the winter, the price of fruit rose, and the prices of apples, citrus and grapes were all rising, which made it difficult for a family who liked to eat fruit. "No fruit at all. I can only control it from quantity. Before buying apples, they often buy about 10 kilos at a time, and now buy up to 5 kilos. The change of
Chen's family basket is a microcosm. Nowadays, the consumption habits of many residents are changing quietly. We all want to minimize expenditure if we do not lower the quality of life. To the delight of consumers, they have finally been relieved by the fact that many measures have been taken to curb the rapid rise in prices.
