How to survive inflation

The cost of living is higher than it’s been in 40 years. We spend the most of our money on food, gas and housing these days, and they’ve all gone way up. We’re all feeling the sting. But there are less obvious ways we're paying more and getting less. We follow reporter Travis Dhanraj’s journey as he experiences some of the sneakier ways the 'flations' could be affecting you - from shrinkflation, to aquaflation, tipflation and more. This is a survival guide you can't afford to miss.
