Please help with a headline for today's news article about consumption tax


This morning (at least where I live) the top headline when I got up to look at
the TBS news was as follows
([source](https://news.tbs.co.jp/newseye/tbs_newseye3785510.html)). Please
correct my attempt if there is an error.

> 【現場から、】１０％の暮らし、駄菓子の“おまけ”で苦肉の策
>
> [Live on location...] The 10% consumption tax hike on the cost of living,
> cheap candy with "something extra" included as a last resort




10%の暮らし is "life/living (in the world) with the 10% (sales tax rate)". 暮らし is
just "life", not "cost of living".

駄菓子のおまけで苦肉の策 is not "an おまけ is included as a last resort" but "someone had to
take a last-resort measure regarding their おまけ". You have to read the main
article to get this meaning. You can see how the maker had to conceal the
whistle part of their product to keep the tax rate low.
