I bought some Triscuits because I had a decent coupon and they had a new flavor that interested me. The size of the box is dramatically reduced from what it used to be, and then you open it up and half of the plastic bag inside is empty. Regular price is just under $4. I paid half that and was still ripped off. The escalations in price and reductions in quantity will lead to brand extinctions someday. Someday being when the EBT crowd can’t buy them with our money anymore.

My favorite is the Chips Ahoy cookies. They are virtually the size of jacket buttons now.

I went to the store the other day to purchase the stuff to make my dog’s food (yes, she is spoiled). I commented to another lady who was also buying zucchini......these used to be 2 for a dollar, now they are 99c each. They have doubled in price.
