The May Day holiday is coming, some people want to take advantage of the small holiday to go home and accompany their parents more, and some people want to take the opportunity to travel and relax.
However, for many people, it is just a matter of thinking, after all, traveling is also a big expense. Especially after experiencing the epidemic, many people have no money in their hands.
And now prices have been rising, but wages have not risen at all. Monthly expenses are rising, and people increasingly feel that life is too difficult.
After May Day, some commodities will continue to increase in price, let's see together which goods will increase in price!
1. Epidemic prevention supplies
Although the epidemic has been going on for three years and our country is doing well, we cannot take it lightly. After all, the virus is still mutating, and there are still many epidemics abroad.
Professor Zhang Wenhong said some time ago that there may be a new outbreak of the epidemic from May to June. And May Day is a time of intensive personnel flow, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no surprises.
Therefore, we must do a good job in epidemic prevention measures and replenish some epidemic prevention supplies in a timely manner, such as masks, disinfectants, thermometers, etc.
Now everyone's awareness of prevention is also getting higher and higher, and if there is a little rumor, everyone will rush to buy a large number of drugs, which has also led to the situation of increasing the price of drugs and doubling the sale.
For example, last year, a thermometer sold for 50 yuan. In order to avoid this, we still have to prepare in advance and don't wait until the price increases to buy.
2. Gasoline
Almost every family now has a car, and some families have more than one car. Therefore, the demand for gasoline in every family is indispensable.
In the past two years, the price of gasoline has been fluctuating, rising and falling, and at the end of the month there will be a ninth round of gasoline price adjustment, do you think it will rise or fall after May Day?
In fact, the possibility of rising is relatively large. The price of gasoline has a great relationship with international oil prices; in recent years, Russia-Ukraine have clashed continuously, and the demand for gasoline in the entire market is very large.
And every time there is a holiday, the price of gasoline will rise a little, this is the market law.
So take advantage of the fact that the price of gasoline has not risen too much, and quickly fill up the car. Wait until the price rises and then refuel and lose a lot. After all, there are still many places to use cars on May Day.
3. Food
Food is what we eat every day, and it is also the thing that is most related to our quality of life. For farmers, of course, they want the price of grain to rise so they can sell it at a good price. But for us consumers, of course, we want food to come down in price so we can save some money.
And now the global food supply chain is constantly changing, affecting the price of food. For example, Russia and Ukraine are two major exporters of wheat, known as the "granary of Europe".
But now that the two countries are at loggerheads, the supply and price of wheat will be affected. And part of our country's food is imported, so it will also be implicated.
In the long run, the supply and price of food will definitely be affected, and the price increase is inevitable!
Now is the time for farmers to plant crops, and they must also make relevant preparations, and do not feel that the price of grain will rise and they must be planted in large quantities, after all, market demand is unstable and may change at any time.
As a consumer, you should also be prepared and plan your expenses.
4. Meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs
These are things that we eat every day and are indispensable in our lives.
But you know what? The price of these things may also go up. Why? There are many reasons for this.
May is coming, the market is more and more abundant, normally, the price should be cheap, but this year the price is much more expensive than in previous years.
In fact, this is related to weather, labor costs, transportation costs, take transportation costs, the cost has been rising, and consequently, the price of fruits and vegetables has risen.
For meat and eggs, the price increase is even more expected. As the weather warms up, people's appetites also improve, especially during the May Day holiday, many people want to go out to eat and drink and stimulate the economy.
As a result, the demand for meat, vegetables, fruits and other foods will increase, and the price will also rise.
Secondly, the weather has warmer, which also has an impact on agricultural production. For eggs, for example, production will drop when it is hot, and insufficient supply will lead to higher prices. And now the price of feed is also rising, farmers in order to ensure profits, can only pass on the cost to consumers.
Again, the weather has warmed up, which also has an impact on food preservation. Fruits, for example, are prone to spoilage at high temperatures, and the cost of transportation and storage will also increase. These costs will eventually be reflected in the price as well.
So when we buy these things after May Day, we may find that they are much more expensive than before. Of course, within a reasonable range, we still have to ensure balanced nutrition and eat healthy. But don't waste food either, arrange your diet plan wisely.
5. Home appliances
Home appliances are an important part of our lives and can bring us a lot of convenience and comfort. But you know what? The price of home appliances may also rise, mainly for two reasons.
One is the rise in raw material prices. The manufacture of home appliances requires a lot of metal, plastic, glass and other materials, and the price of these materials is constantly rising.
For example, copper, aluminum, nickel, and other metal materials have risen a lot in the international market. And these materials are essential for home appliances.
The other is the chip shortage. Chips are one of the core components of home appliances, which can make them smarter and more efficient. But now the global chip production capacity is seriously insufficient, resulting in tight supply and soaring prices.
Moreover, the production cycle of the chip is very long, and it is difficult to solve the problem in a short time. Therefore, in order to ensure profits and quality, home appliance manufacturers can only increase the price of home appliances.
Although they also want to attract consumers through discount promotions, the actual price is still much higher than before. If you want to buy appliances at that time, you may have to spend a little more.
Write at the end
In short, after May Day, the price of these commodities may rise, and the price increase of each commodity is closely related to our lives, and we must prepare in advance according to our actual situation.
Only reasonable consumption can save the cost of living, and we must respond flexibly in the face of rising prices.
