Do you like the fabric pricing trend?

I noticed this a while back on an online site. I was looking for fabric that has been out for a couple of yrs so my 1st reaction was that it was marked down on clearance. Then just as I was going to buy it, I noticed it had not been marked down at all. While it is technically not false advertising, it sure is awfully close to crossing a line.

I noticed that the cereal boxes were a little slimmer lately. Do they think we're idiots? I guess $4.85 sounds a little easier to swollow than $9.70 but at the end of the day, we still need the yardage that we need. You have to keep a calculator with you at all times to know what it will really cost... I hate it.

Don't like it one bit. They change the name of the quantity and then charge more because they're giving you more of the new name which is actually smaller than the original item. Hope that made sense, it did when I started to write it.

Thank you. I hadn't noticed this pricing trend yet in fabric. I sure have noticed it in groceries! Smaller packages, lower weight and higher price. My household has gotten smaller, but the grocery bill has gotten higher. And I haven't had a pay raise in 3 years.
