It’s Becoming More Difficult to Afford Groceries These Days
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people in many ways. 77% of people we surveyed said it’s been more difficult to feed their family. Here’s what some of our members have had to say about what it’s like to go grocery shopping and budget during the ongoing pandemic:
“In the beginning of the pandemic, I was buying brands I wouldn’t normally buy because that’s what was available. Now I’m pinching pennies, and I’ve downloaded all those apps where you can earn rewards and save money.” – Danielle, SaverLife member
“Even though we’re in a pandemic, the bills didn’t stop—nothing stopped. I wanted to make sure we had everything we needed: a roof over our heads, diapers, clothes, and food. As bad as it is, money rules the world.” – Kimberly, SaverLife member
