Higher food prices are affecting people across the country and Pennsylvania, and it's forcing some shoppers to change their habits. Whether it's making a list and not deviating, or buying generic products instead of name-brand, some consumers report taking steps to save money at the grocery store.
Itâs usually quiet when I walk into the office, though that of course depends on the time of day I arrive â the later it is, the rowdier things usually are.
The afternoons are less populated, and when I arrive in the middle of the day Iâm greeted by one or two âhelloâs. Afternoon inhabitants often sit in class, interviews or edits.
As the day continues, more people trickle into the office, signing in at the door (a product of the pandemic) and grabbing a disposable mask if theyâve misplaced theirs (another product of the pandemic).
