Hubby went grocery shopping (he can stretch a dollar farther than I can) and he said my coffee grounds he bought last week cost $6.18 pound. Today it cost him $8.18 for the same bag. That is a huge increase.<<<

Did you see post 1105 above, LOL, she talks of shrinking packages.

I checked my coffee can, the large one, has shrunk from 3 pounds to 2 pounds 2 ounces and costs more than I paid for 3 pounds, not that many years ago.

I know that I have had to alter the shopping list and it is a hardship, for Scott, as he is a ‘name brand ‘ buyer, by habit and
I am not.

I did. We consumers are supposed to be idiots and not notice that a pound weight doesn't actually weigh a pound anymore.

I'm a brand named buyer myself, hubby is a price comparison shopper.
