I know the prices have doubled in the last 6 years, and the box sizes (or at least the contents) have shrunk TOO.
You pay more than double and get less.
That's not right.

yes I have seen it in most areas of food items.
And yet commodity grain prices are at or near five-year lows.

and the box sizes (or at least the contents) have shrunk TOO.”
Box and can sizes have both shrunk. I have an “older” box of Raisin Bran in my stash cupboard. New box is considerably smaller, both in length and width. Years ago we used to be able to get eight bowls of cereal out of one of the boxes, now we can only get four or five. Can contents are also decreasing - .1 at a time until it’s now considerably less and the can isn’t even full.
Cake mix boxes also contain less. Plays havoc with recipes and have had to adjust some of my old ones. Wish they would have just left things like they were and increased their price. I find myself often having to buy two of something and then taking some from the second package/can. Ends up costing a whole lot more money in the long run.
