The price of food and other basic commodities will soon rise in many places around the world. What are some commodities that are produced domestically or will remain inexpensive where you live? What do you expect will become more expensive? Please include your country of origin or region of the world in your reply.
As an American, it used to be fossil fuels. I’d go elsewhere and it’d be 3x the price. But lately we seem to be catching up. One thing where we’re still likely cheaper are high-end electronics. At least, it looks like the iPhone is still cheaper in the US than almost anywhere else. I remember living abroad a few years ago, colleagues would ask if I could buy an iPhone or Mac on Christmas break and bring it back to them lol
Milk. almost all the milk where I live is sourced locally. (ireland)
Sprouted yellow peas. Available on most street corners of Myanmar cities in the morning, steaming hot. Cheap source of protein and nutrition when added to plain white rice, nutritious and delicious.
UK: I don’t know if it’s produced domestically, but pasta is dirt cheap. Own brand spaghetti can be under 60p a kilo. Tinned tomatoes are also cheap, so there you go - dinner.
Potatoes and brown onions are fairly cheap, ditto carrots.
Eggs, of course. £2.70 ($3.50) a dozen, medium free range.
Dollar tree sells staples at a dollar 25
Lotta cranberry bogs here, and tomatoes.
US, specifically southeast Michigan: Ramen, bread, and spaghetti, though as other commenters have said everything has gone up, so even these.
There is only relatively expensive.
Literally everything has gone up with every excuse possible.
Covid, some ship that blocked the Suez canal?!, war in ukraine, not enough rain, too much rain.
Prices never go down after.Clay, I can walk 100 meters and dig it out of the ground for free.
Water, it rains about 200 days a year.
