EDITORIAL/Cost Of Inflation: How have you had to cut back on spending?

Inflation brings rising prices to most consumer goods and services, including both things we need and those we can do without.

And when wages don't keep up with prices, every family must adjust their budget to accommodate the needs such as food and fuel. That means fewer wants.

That may mean less money spent on dining out, entertainment, travel, new clothing, home decor or any number of things that can be put off until the money is found.

How about you? What has your family had to cut back on to afford the essentials. What have you had to give up because of rising prices?
