It's called sizeflation!
|
I thought I went thru that first roll awfully fast!
|
I knew products were downsizing, but it really hit home for me a couple years ago. I was walking down the baking aisle in Walmart and swore to goodness they were selling box mixes for Easy Bake Ovens. Nope. Downsized!
It's gotten bad across the board and a previous poster was right. They've cut sizes about all they can; the next step will be price increases. |
Is it me or does it appear like the bottom of Wendy's Frosty cups keep creeping up higher and higher toward the top rim giving you less and less Frosty?
|
I bought the same box of aluminium foil I always buy. Noticed later that it proclaimed in big, bright letters, "New Size." Before, it was 200 ft. long--now, 180 ft.-same price, of course. The box should have proclaimed, "Got you, sucker!"
...rant finished.... :) |
Oh, yeah I have noticed! They must think we're blind.

I have noticed this in Chairman, bounty and Puffs. And all the other things you have all talked about. a lot of fabric isn't as wide. Face creams and other makeup has thicker jars and less products. Here in Texas we have a wonderful ice cream called Blue Bell. They still sell by the gallon and pints. They keep their prices good and it is the best tasting ice cream ever so I buy nothing else.
