What is the first thing we think of when you hear the word ‘RECESSION’ ? Answer is : Job losses. I feel very sorry for all the people who lost their jobs even after working hard like hell. In addition, one other term we know and sometimes we overlook to mention is ‘PRICE CUTS’. Every industry is offering price cuts in their products for consumers.
For example ; Check this polo Ralph Lauren shorts in one store which was priced at $85 but now it is offered at approximately 80% off the original price.
Similarly restaurants are offering food for a cheap price these days. Not to forget, cars, houses etc .. everything is offered at lower prices. Some of them offer less than <10% off and some of them more. Just google for discounts on whatever you want, there is a fair chance that you will find one these days.
The questions we need to ask ourselves is, should we be happy for the low prices or were we being ripped off with the prices before recession ? Or is the quality in stores and restaurants going down after recession? If by any chance, quality is reduced in the restaurants and grocery stores or anywhere in the food we buy, that means we are buying health problems for a cheaper price now.
How are restaurants and grocery stores able to offer food for lower prices compare to earlier? I couldn't find any correct answer so far, if any of you know please let us know.
Are we learning anything from recession?
Is government setting up proper rules and guidelines so that we don’t suffer from some company’s CEOs selfish decision?
We are learning but I don’t think we are still not learning enough because we still see people spending a lot than saving. And government is encouraging us to spend money rather than thinking of other ways to control or end recession
Friends, lets enjoy the reduced prices but at the same lets be careful on the quality of food that we are eating and feeding our children and friends. As always, i am waiting for your comments and Thank you for reading.!!!!
