Hasn't the Price of everything been going up?

Hi everyone!

Times are getting tough; petrol is high shopping is through the roof, so the topic I'll be writing about is how I support small businesses and save bucks here and there just a couple of little tips I can share.

Well, on my way to work, when I don’t catch public transport, I catch a Didi or Uber and find that if I leave around a certain time, I save a couple of dollars, and if I use Didi for a while, I find Uber gives me promotions to entice me to switch back to them, and it can be up to a ten percent discount, capped at seven dollars; every cent counts, I say.

Now, how I support small businesses is by shopping at local fruit and veggie stores; it's much cheaper, and I feel good about helping local businesses. I got a bag of bananas the other day for a dollar; I still can't believe it's so cheap, and they were very ripe, but I use them for smoothies anyway. If I didn’t buy them, they might have been thrown out; that's another thing that makes me feel I'm helping less food go to waste in the bin if I can use them- why not.

I also go to my local pharmacy for medication and beauty products. They have great sales sometimes, and the staff there are so pleasant, and if I forget to pick up my medication, they have a delivery service for free, or if I'm really sick with the flu or something and it is not recommended to go outside, they deliver it for me.

Thanks for reading my blog; catch you next time.
