How to stretch your dollar as inflation hits 31-year high — and the magic phrase for negotiating lower prices
The cost of living in the U.S. continued to soar in October as Americans paid more for essentials — including rent, gas, groceries and cars — and inflation hit a near-31-year high.
“Inflation hurts Americans’ pocketbooks, and reversing this trend is a top priority for me,” President Joe Biden said in a statement Wednesday. “Even if inflation were to moderate next year, we’ve still seen about three years worth of price increases in the last 12 months,” Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com, said. So even if inflation falls to around 2% next year, he continued, “consumers are still going to be paying prices they otherwise might not have seen till 2025.”
“As higher costs come along throughout the year, you’re constantly having to shift money from one spending category to another, and having gift cards or cash-back rewards and loyalty points that you can use to defray out of pocket expenses might give you the cushion you need in a given month,” McBride said.
