Where money goes? About 70 per cent of the average households spending goes for 11 such as housing, food, clothes and health care.

This is why, for example, the prices of fresh fruits and vegetables 17 drop during the summer months when such produce is in 18
However, a low price especially if it falls below what it costs a seller to make the goods will discourage production, perhaps 19 the high-cost producers out of business or force them to make something else.
Again using an example from agriculture, farmers periodically plant less wheat or raise fewer cattle if the prices for those goods give too 20 return for the costs involved.
