Two years of high inflation has many Americans shopping in places they wouldn’t normally, scouring for coupons and discounts and learning to do without.

People, especially those with annual earnings less than $100,000, are trying multiple strategies to stretch their dollars, according to the Dallas Fed - from delaying major purchases and medical treatment to decreasing the use of utilities and tapping charities.

Savvy shoppers we talked to offered some of their best strategies to help cope with the ever-increasing costs of everyday life:
