Feeling a little poorer these days? Your salary (if you're lucky enough to still have one) probably hasn't changed much lately, but the amount of goods and services it can cover has surely shrunk. Just check your grocery and gas bills. And wait until the hangover from Ben Bernanke's Treasury-bond-buying binge kicks in.
What better time, then, to shine a light on all the overpriced stuff — rip-offs, you might call them — draining your already depleted coffers?
We're not talking about fraud here, though there's certainly a bit of that going around too. We're talking about all the ways, within the law, that we allow ourselves to get taken for a ride.
