Cheap market

Cheap market

From Jayakarta

As a housewife, it is difficult for me to manage my household
budget. My husband has just got a 10 percent pay rise, but almost
instantly the prices of commodities also went up.

This price hike was partly influenced by the activities of
society during the Ramadhan month and prior to the Idul Fitri
celebration.

Although the government has tried hard to curb the trend of
price increases by conducting market operation, the result was
not tangible. The prices, slowly but surely, keep crawling
upwards.

Therefore, I appreciate any effort to establish cheap markets,
usually done by the Jakarta Military Command, where housewives
can buy things at bargain prices.
