On the personal level its better to invest your money, so it wouldn't lose it's value. One of my favorites is investing in forex, though there are other ways to do that.

Well, there are many ways to deal with inflation but unfortunately most of them have little to do with the citizens of the country. Most of the actions are governmental decisions regarding monetary policy such as changing interest rates (raising them to block inflation) and other methods.

Here is an article that can teach you a tremendous amount about inflation. It's a bit long but has lots of information.

Good luck.

They that would give up a little liberty for temporary safety will be left with neither. Benjamin Franklin

Buy gold, platinum, silver and maybe palladium. They have inherent value and keep up with the rate of inflation rather than paper money which loses value since it's value is based on nothing tangible. Encourage people to start trading in metals for goods and services rather than worthless currency based on debt, visit: www.opencurrency.com and www.endthefed.us.
