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.
When figuring out birth control costs, the first thing to research is the cost of the actual birth control method and how often you will have to be paying that price. Birth control pills may cost between $15 to $40 each month whereas a diaphragm may require a one-time cost ranging between $15 to $75.
