Grocery prices are going through the roof and most of us feel the pinch. Well, to be honest, a pinch is an understatement, recent inflation rates feel like a punch instead! If you\u2019re anything like us, check out 6 things you should start doing to cope with rising inflation in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n

Re-evaluate your expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"5-1\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s time to revise your expense tracker! We\u2019re not suggesting you do a major expense cut like move to a cheaper apartment or sell off your car, but simply reassess the RM10 coffee you have to get every morning, the snacks you always buy during lunch break and all the unwatch streaming services you\u2019ve been subscribing to.<\/span><\/p>\n

These small expenses normally add up and cause a significant impact on your overall budget. So take a step back and evaluate your daily expenses. Consider cutting these items<\/strong><\/a> from your monthly budget to save more!<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintain your monthly savings<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

While we do recommend that you reevaluate your expenses and budget, that doesn\u2019t mean that you should reduce your monthly savings. Maintain your monthly savings especially in times like these because you never know when you might be in need of emergency funds. If you can\u2019t add to your monthly savings during this period, at least try to maintain it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diversify your income<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"4-1\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next thing you should start doing to cope with the rising inflation is to find a side hustle to help supplement your income. Do you have hobbies or skills that can generate income? Time to make full use of it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Although your initial intention to take up a part-time job is to make more money, remember to look for opportunities that interest you and can help improve your skills as well. This way you\u2019ll always learn something new, and improve yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan your weekends<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"6-1\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us tend to spend extra money during the weekend to unwind from work and studies. For example, cafe hopping, watching movies at the cinema and unplan spa sessions – can add up to your monthly expenses in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving forward, you can try to fill your weekends with affordable or better yet, free activities! Create fun challenges that you can enjoy with your loved ones such as the famous TikTok\u2019s Egg Peel Challenge and blindfold drawing challenge. Click here<\/strong><\/a> for more ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Practise comparing prices<\/strong> to cope with inflation<\/p>\n

\"3-1\"<\/p>\n

Some grocers really take advantage of the inflation rate and use that as a reason to mark up the prices of goods. If you have a favourite place to shop for groceries, try to compare prices with nearby grocery stores. You might also want to consider buying your groceries online as they normally offer discounts and deals for online purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

This practise doesn\u2019t only apply to your groceries, try to make it a habit to do so whenever you want to purchase anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make full use of your credit card<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2-3\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most credit cards come with perks and benefits. For example, the<\/span> Standard Chartered<\/strong><\/a> JustOne Platinum Mastercard offers up to 15% Cashback on Petrol, groceries, e-Market Place, and e-Wallet. Be sure to utilise all the perks during this period to get the most value out of each cent you spend.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s important to stay vigilant during times like these. While we can\u2019t really do much to solve the inflation issue, we can try to implement all the suggestions above to cope with rising inflation! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
