Let's not all cheer to loudly, the tax reform is going to effect all of us ( non-wage earners ). In the local market this week meat has gone up by 10%, some vegetables up to 16% higher and petrol up by nearly 12% as has the LPG. The good news, beer has stayed the same.

I fear that any improvement in the exchange rate will be absorbed by increased prices.

Stokkevn, Just imagine how much more expensive those items would be if the exchange rate had not improved or worse gone down again!!

I just checked, your glass is still half full)

How about exchange rate of 80 by year end, will that help

Local market prices have increased during the last few days, in part, due to the wet weather which has had a detrimental effect the availability of produce and the ability to transport the same from the farms. A typical supply and demand situation. As for fuel and gas, crude oil prices have increased since early December As for the tax reform, long overdue. But as a guest here, not or me to comment further.

How would you have felt 12 months ago?
I echo mikemike my glass is still half full. Cheers !

will we hit 75 before stumps!!

The only thing that has really hit us at all is the increase price in Diesel. Our home power costs have seen no increase in price, actually a fall due to us upgrading to inverter air cons through out. We also looked at our weekly groceries and experiments on what we could do with and do without. The Asawa had totally bought in to this and told me she will shop Filippino style....hell I thought we were anyway!! NOt a bit of it, our weekly shop is down from 7.5 thou to 4thou and it looks like there is still plenty to go around.

Now she wants to know what she can spend the savings on!!

our power bill just came in at 4600. we are not running the air cons ach day, we have three but I suspect that we are using 1 on average for 15 hours most of which is night time rates. lots of ceilings fans a couple of stand fans . The ref is inverter as well.

Usual gadgets such as tvs x 3 and intents ready gadgets no less than 3

our supplier is Meralco the most expensive in the country

I suspect our power bill will climb to 6000pm now that summer is here.
