Here the sales tax is about 17%, on food too, even the most basic like bread and milk.
There is one good thing about this crisis, a lot of people are trying to quit smoking, because they can't afford the cigarrettes.
Yes Mariana, get a piece of land if you can. Although my garden is small, I have been eating from it since the summer began. My husband and me just harvested one medium size bowl of berries just before supper. Food grown near where ones live bring Earth vibration into the body. You feel a lot healthier. Here the unemployment rate is rising in the south. Jobs are opening in the North, but the hour of work are inhumane.
Price of gas here is about $1.25 per litre. So that is about $4.70 per US gal. The price varies according to the value of the Canadian dollar. For now the price of chicken and ground beef as been the same for quite a few months. Dairy product prices are control by the Dairy Board, so unless there is something special, we pay the same price for milk and cheese. Speciality cheese prices varies. I am expecting that meat prices will first fall due to the culling of meat animals and then rise sharply because less animal will be raised as grain price will have increase. Couponing is not popular here. I only saw it being done once.
Right... using coupons I save about $30 or more each shopping trip.. my store still gives double coupons, also.
In Virginia, food at the grocery store isn't taxed, but there is a stiff tax on prepared food, something like 10%, food you buy at restaurants.
Here in Mississippi gas is about 3.75/gallon and we 7% on all purchases including food. The NWO order was to eliminate the middle class and I think it is going full steam ahead!! I stockpile and use coupons to make purchases (save about 30-50% on average) to make it.
The crisis is being felt here too.
The prices of food have gone up a lot lately, even the basics, like bred. They blame it on the shortage of wheat because of the drowt in USA, even though last winter was a very rainy season and we had the record haighest produse of wheat ever, but for some obscure reason, that wheat is bought by the government to keep as reserves(?!!).
The prise of fuel is the highest ever, over 8 shekels (2 dollars) per liter. On my way to work on the bus I see a lot of cars parked on the streets covered with months of dust, unused, because people can't afford to pay for fuel and/or insurance. The prices of public transportation have gone up too.
And if that is not enough, our "beloved" prime minister Netaniahu, is going to rise the income taxes for everyone and the taxes we pay when we buy something, products and services, including food, fuel, electricity, etc. a 2%. That means everything will cost more while our salaries will be smaller.
For Netaniahu and his gang of tykoon friends the higher prices are a small inconvinience, for the lower class it means hunger. The middle class is getting poorer. No matter how much we work, and how much we "tight our belt" and buy only the most basic needs, we are allways short at the end of the month.
Because of the higher taxes and the economic crises in Europe and USA, a lot of firms are fiering employees. So, unemployment is going up too.
Saddly, until now, I couldn't convince my husband to move to a farm and grow our own food. I belive that being self suficient is the best solution for this crisis.
Whether it is 'spin' or not, MSM sets up the scenario to where food prices can be increased... low yield, bad weather, drought, etc.. Then, you have Monsanto, which is really smacking us around... and they use the corn now for gasoline. There is our food supply.
Canada has a surplus??? Oh that makes me mad anytime U.S. does not have a surplus, but others do, food still rises. Oh yeah, they blame that also on the gas prices rising too!
There are not too many places that actually sell freeze dried meats. Most just deal with artafical meat like tofu. So this is something to look into a little better.
Canada received a report from the grain producing provinces just this week. It appear that the main crops harvested, ie wheat, corn, canola and soya show a yield way above average. Now I am pretty sure that those grain are already bought and regardless of the bumper harvest, the price of food will increase any way.
