Life hacks in the time of inflation

If you are faithful to your shopping list and still bought all the items you used to shop for, you'll be blown away because it'll look like you just assaulted your own bank account.

Welcome to Inflation 2022.

While we can rant on social media about it, the problem is here and it's something that we can't ignore because it affects our basic needs. So here are a couple of quick remedies to help us get through the tough times.

• For grocery shopping, try to make the most out of membership special offers. Relish the cardio exercise that comes on the side because this is the time to thoroughly explore and hunt for discounts by putting a strategic trip to massive grocery stores. Check expiration dates. If you will consume something immediately anyway, then got for these items because they will most likely come at a discount.

• If you are looking to travel, the internet is still overflowing with discounted airfares and hotel accommodations. Look for the latest travel blogs for more practical travel hacks. Check out airline sales before booking anything. If traveling with a group, be on the lookout for group discounts.

• Furniture purchases. Instead of going to the malls for what you need at home, try the neighborhood ratan store or those furniture shops that really don't have beautiful displays but offer quality pieces when you go inside these establishments.

• Internet and data needs. Like food, having data allows us to do more. In fact, to research on the hacks mentioned above, we need a reliable connection on the go. That and the fact that we need internet so we can go to quick escapes when it comes to music and streaming. We are also dependent on data allocation for school needs, work from home, or work from anywhere requirements. For the power to choose and enjoy unlimited entertainment, a local mobile network has Power All 99 with 8 GB for all sites and apps, Unli TikTok, and Unli Texts to All Networks valid for seven days for only P99. This can be used for a wide range of productivity apps at work or school, or for their choice of entertainment on-the-go - whether through streaming videos, listening to music and podcasts, or playing mobile games. They can also use their huge open access data to browse their favorite websites, share content on social media, make video calls using their favorite apps, and access essential digital services such as e-banking, food delivery, and online shopping.
