On easing inflation pains, the world's richest 40 people and how to cut $1,800 from your annual grocery bill.
•Canadian inflation dipped to its lowest level in a 1.5 years in March as price increases for food and gas slowed down. Inflation eased to 1.9% in the month over the same time last year, down from February’s particularly brutal 4.1% hike.
•Inflation is probably not a concern for the world’s 40 richest people. Together this group is worth $1 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The group did see their fortunes drop slightly Thursday however (by a combined $6.2 billion) as stocks fell amid disappointing U.S. earnings.
•Why not join the Tasty Trash challenge? The average Canadian household can save roughly $1,800 a year by wasting less food, according to estiamtes and the folks at Squawkfox are putting that theory to the test.
