Yup my large doritos bag size has gone down a few ounces. I noticed it in the last 4 months or so.

We noticed that were not getting a full pound anymore of ground turkey and ground meat. It says a pound on the package but it's been 3/4 pound. Were getting less and less with everything. Were getting screwed people

I knew I’ve been getting gipped at Canes. Those tenders are 25% smaller than they’ve used to be.

I noticed a few months ago that my new toilet tissue rolls were 3/4 inch shorter (height wise) than the ones being replaced.

I bought a can of Gatorade powder only to find three plastic scoops inside taking up space...

well, you see small size coke bottles and they pump more air in your bag of chips! you pay more and eat less junk food... not a bad idea for shrinkflation!

I guess time to go on diet. Eat and drink less. 😎

They have been this for years. Look at candy bars they are over a dollar and are tiny as they can be. That plus inflation, which is rising, is not going to be good. They are doing this on everything. Not good. Albertsons brand is great. You just have to watch expiration dates with Albertsons, I have been stung many of times from then.
