Inflation and You're Making Do
While gas prices may be coming down, recent data shows that inflation in many other categories is still very high. Listeners call in to share where they are feeling the squeeze the most and how they are coping.
@BrianLehrer Sunday morning takeout (Queens): Sesame bagel w veggie cream cheese and smoked salmon and sliced red onion: $12 + Medium Iced Coffee $3.75 + sales tax: I handed the cashier a $20 bill and told her to put the change in the tip cup. Yikes!

@BrianLehrer I am paying the higher price for eggs and compensating by buying cheaper gin (it all tastes the same to me)!
