oh hell yeah. I've read about the situ in the US (assuming that's where you're at) and I know from my fam in CA that it's pretty much the same. in Canada the only thing that doesn't cost more are those eggs the Americans can't stop talking about
here, it's the exact opposite. food inflation is nil with the CPI up just slightly, while in Canada and the US both have sky rocketed
think that's cuz for imports the Caribbean in general has always been more closely aligned with South America and China. my cigs are from Colombia, the cars here 'speak' in Mandarin
so yeah, for people on a tighter budget discretionary spending is the first thing to get cut, doubly so if they feel their econ future is under threat. that can't not impact even B2B clients who sell whatever they do as B2C
hang in there, this too shall pass
