You have to put your money somewhere.
If you are willing to take on much more risk, you could put it in the stock market and hope for the best. But if you are looking for a safe investment, to protect against unexpected high inflation, TIPS are still probably better than the alternatives (even if they are not accomplishing that goal for you).
