So, you’ve had your retirement party, hung up your work boots, turned in your office keys, and are now living the good life of a retiree. But wait! Along comes a sneaky villain called inflation, trying to snatch away your hard-earned savings. Not to worry. With a bit of humor and a few clever tricks, you can outsmart inflation and keep enjoying your golden years.

The Pricey Grocery Aisle

You walk into the grocery store, whistling a happy tune, and then — WHAM! The price of your favorite cereal has doubled! Inflation strikes again. But don’t let those high prices get you down.

Strategy: Become a Coupon Wizard

— Buy a name brand cereal that’s currently on sale, or a store brand.

Food stores always rotate their sale items. The next time you stop by, your favorite will be on sale. Immediate gratification is for kids, not seniors.

- Clip Coupons: Dust off those scissors and start clipping. Many stores still accept paper coupons.

- Go Digital: Download apps like Rakuten for digital coupons and cashback offers.
