Shrink.....flation

I saw that on the creamsicle, too. And check out the bomb pops (the red/white/blue popsicle), or don't check them out...because they aren't very big anymore.

I bought a sealed bag of air and found a potato chip inside!

This is not my pic, so I can't confirm, but it seems about right.

Those bottles are Canadian. They have a DIN number on the right hand side. I looked at that because the styling of the label appeared to be different from each other. Thought they might be from different markets. So Canada gets to participate in the great product reduction too.

DW got a big jug of All Free & Clear laundry detergent.
You know how expensive that is.
I noticed that they had redesigned the jug to be more streamlined, and the measuring cup got bigger.
Well, that wasn't All they did (pun).
See if you can see the change in fluid ounces, and number of loads:

I don't usually buy chips, but during the summer we keep some in the camper. I got some Lays chips on a BOGO sale and I couldn't believe how small the bags were. I don't know what the weight was in a regular bag the last time I bought some, but it's clearly way less than it was before (at least a year ago). It looks the like 'family' size bags are now more like what the regular bags were.

Recently I went for chips, and picked up a regular sized bag of Doritos. $6.99, chain grocery store. I don’t shop much anymore, and that was serious sticker shock.
In a way, stupid prices like these have a benefit. I find myself getting much less stuff, think twice about what I buy, and try to utilize the basics. Those who don’t change their ways and habits must have some debt!

maybe, maybe not shrinkflation. My first thought was more water, less good stuff, but who knows? Anyway, if you’re canning, think twice.
posted over in canning, too, to spread the word.

Good to know. I wouldn't have looked. They really do seem to be making a concerted effort to destroy private food production.

It looks like an old-time gas jug.

Hubby just realized how few pistachios are in a $10 bag of pistachios. He might have said some choice words.
