Shrinkflation: The Sneaky Way You're Getting Cheated Out of Money

You are being scammed by shrinkflation. Every day items are getting smaller and smaller, so that manufacturers can raise prices without you noticing.

Thanks for watching? Have you noticed anything you buy has started to shrink?

Worst offender I’ve noticed are Häagen-Dazs dropping from one pint (16 oz) to 14 oz while the price is frequently higher than the 16 oz, when it was available. Also, as you observed, TP changed from plastic wrapping around 12 or 18 rolls to now using paper wrap. One thing that changed is the advert on the packaging that “the roll will fit on your TP holder or your money back” has been removed. Today’s rolls of TP more easily fit but that’s because each sheet of Quilted Northern is thinner and the roll doesn’t include as many sheets. I’ve never given so much consideration to adding a bidet toilet seat as I have over the past 12-18 months. It’s all a big pain in the @$$.😅

I noticed that my favourite chocolate, Black and Green, was a victim of shrinkage!!!! (and not the type that George went through on Seinfeld) 😆
