The aggregate demand curve tends to shift to the left when total consumer spending declines. Consumers might spend less because the cost of living is rising or because government taxes have increased. Consumers may decide to spend less and save more if they expect prices to rise in the future.
We did some thorough research recently on birth-control pills in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut). Price differences were shocking! For example: â¢ One popular birth control pill, Tri-Sprintec 28, ranged from $9 to $63, depending on where you shop.
A month of birth control pills can be $10 to $40, depending on where you get them and what type you buy.An IUD plus insertion can be up to $1,000 out of pocket, although it's a cost that won't need to be replicated since, depending on the type, it can last up to a decade.
