With inflation, bartering became a success. Social networks and applications facilitate these exchanges.
Objects for food: on social networks, ads are multiplying. For example, you can find an ad offering to exchange tiles for milk cartons. For two years, with inflation, food has been omnipresent in trade. Olivia just got started. She already makes two transactions per day. For example, she sold kitchen molds. “I had a brioche, two packets of Savane and a kilo of sugar“, she says, showing the products. Unemployed, this mother of two daughters takes full-time care of one of them with a disability. With almost 800 euros per month, it’s difficult to make ends meet.
Bartering for food or clothing
Separating yourself from objects in order to feed yourself is also Élodie’s approach. She created a barter group in Mayenne on social networks. Feed yourself, but also dress yourself. In a shop near Angers (Maine-et-Loire), there is nothing to sell, everything is exchanged.
