Leave the stuff on the shelf.
Best way for consumers to battle high prices is to not buy. Simple econ. Supply/Demand. Price of Supply rises too far/Demand will fall.
As consumers, we can work to impact the rising prices.......just use less, buy less, do without, substitute.
Currently, my family is monitoring costs of everything. Need to be especially mindful on package quantity vs price. I recently purchased a fruit mix. The frozen 3 lb bag was $11.99. I kept looking. I was able to purchase the same ingredients as single 1 lb bags. In the end, I had 4 lbs for $11.99, so effectively a 33% cost reduction. Not a lot, but over a year.........
Example. I have a dog that was eating a medium grade kibble at $5.70/lb.
I shifted the dog's food over to a raw diet. This raw diet is costing around $3.00/lb. Not a huge savings, but $2+/lb becomes noticeable in a month, saving roughly $30+/month. Plus, we have noticed several side benefits. Dog is less lethargic, hair is thicker and more glossy, less scratching.....poops are much smaller with less aroma. The down side is I spend about 30 minutes each week to mix up the dog chow for the week.
We are shifting to store brands on foods or making our own, like noodles, bread, biscuits, rolls. Breakfast cereal is OUT, no more frosted flakes.

I bake all my brownies, cookies, cobblers, and pies from scratch. I'm not saving any money when all said and done, but i ended up with my a1c going up a .1 from 5.7 to 5.8, not good. My doctor called the other day, i'm eating to many processed foods. I told her i hardly eat any....just too much of the above.Leave the stuff on the shelf.

Sooooo. We are selling stuff from my mother-in-law's house since she moved in with us in October. I got a message from someone wanting to buy her German-made king size bed. The guy pulls up in a Toyota Helux. I had so many questions for the guy. He got out and I walked up and said, "Dude, I love your truck. Where did you get it?" He shook my hand and said, "No English." I was crushed.
I was at home cheapo the other day waiting my turn to pickup some asphalt shingles they had waiting for me. These 2 guys in front of me were loading this old chevy truck with all sorts of size lumber taking their sweet time. After sitting in my truck 20 minutes of this i got out, and asked them if they could pulled ahead a feet feet so i could have them bring out my order. Neither spoke, or understood a lick of english, i think they were probably illegal immigrants working for the trucks owner somewhere inside. At any rate the owner finally came out, and they all left.
