Food
Being home more often means cooking a lot. As a result, your grocery list as a retired person might have much more ingredients than before retirement. In fact, the pandemic contributed to the rising inflation rates, therefore food prices were 7.4% higher in January than a year earlier.
In a recent study made by Clever, 33% of retirees admitted they were struggling with the cost of food. Luckily, there are many supermarkets that run sales on a weekly basis so, as a retired person, you just have to do some research. You don’t even have to visit every store you know as many stores make their promotional announcements available online.
