I'm migrating a chunk of my emergency fund into iBonds. Already have really low expenses, so just doing activities that don't cost much money.

Aren't I Bonds capped at a certain yearly amount which, IIRC, is pretty low?
I just sold a property and have to figure out what to do with that tranche of money……sitting in cash most certainly isn't the answer.
As to the OP's question in tangible terms I suppose the only action I took was to buy a property at a 2.3% interest rate, financing it 100% with no money down using my VA benefit. So currently there's not only very substantial equity growth due to the current real estate market but also because of inflationary pressures.
Other than that not much. Fuel is certainly up, by perhaps 40%, from last year and food is as well but I haven't really changed my life-style. I'm lucky enough to have a neighbor that's a butcher and has his own shop so I have good access to cheap meat.
I had hoped that ammo prices would come down and it looks like they are a bit so we'll see where that goes. I certainly have enough to shoot pretty hard for a few years but would like to rebuild the stash, when and if that opportunity arrises.
Also was looking at getting a new smaller camper, selling the old one and 1 ton truck and getting a Tundra. That might be on hold depending on what the dealer says.
Candidly, inflation is my biggest concern.
What concerns me is what's being illustrated quite clearly up with the Canadians. Clearly the citizens of developed nations have been conditioned for 2 years to accept the actions of tyrants and many are doing just that.
I feel lucky to live in TN.
