"They dont give you 2 scoops?" Yes, they do, but they are now using the sleek new downsized European scoops.

I don’t see what’s wrong with taking scoops of grapes and drying them in an environmentally friendly fashion.

Noticed my 5 pound bag of sugar seemed a little smaller. Not my imagination, its only 4 pounds.
To: Heart-Rest
Not sure where you can get these (if you still can) but Dole raisins are by far superior to the dried out Sun Maid raisins.

The raisins don’t stay fresh for long either.

"I dont see whats wrong with taking scoops of grapes and drying them in an environmentally friendly fashion. " Well, they are also using less cardboard and ink and other packaging materials, in an enhanced environmentally friendly fashion I guess.

I buy Kroger raisins in the 12 oz or 24 oz vacuum pouch. Weight is weight unless they simply lie to me.....think I’ll take a pouch over to the produce scales and check it.

" Noticed my 5 pound bag of sugar seemed a little smaller. Not my imagination, its only 4 pounds." Well, if you or someone in your family ever makes oatmeal cookies with sugar and raisins, you'll have to start making little tiny ones the size of nickels.
I don't think they will let us pay for these things with those little miniature "Monopoly" game dollars, do you?

I’ll have to run out and get 5 pounds of flour to make those cookies, or maybe 4 pounds.

"Not sure where you can get these (if you still can) but Dole raisins are by far superior to the dried out Sun Maid raisins." Thanks. (I don't remember seeing that brand lately, but I'll keep an eye out for them in the future.)

Most 5 lb bags of sugar are now 4 lbs too.

I've seen this happen with mixed nuts: 36 oz to 26 oz, no change in price
Beef Stew: 26 oz to 20oz, no change in price
And several others.
I've started putting on my grocery list the size I bought last time and the price. A real pain, but it beats getting screwed.
The mixed nuts price increase was 38%. That's hefty. But I found Planter's Mixed Nuts on Amazon for much less and free shipping.

"Ill have to run out and get 5 pounds of flour to make those cookies, or maybe 4 pounds." And just remember to give smaller bags of them if you pack them in anyone's lunch, or smaller boxes of them if you give them to anybody as a gift, or if you donate them for a church function or something.

Many product packages have experienced product shrinkage, without a corresponding price shrinkage.
Probably due to global warming. That seems to cause most other world problems.

You give us some great ideas. It sounds like it is worth the extra effort to do those things (tracking the store prices, and checking Amazon).

Some stuff is getting so small, I just skip it. I wonder if they know their product shrinking is having that effect with some? (I can’t be the only one)

Yes, they say the icebergs are shrinking too due to global warming.
Maybe someone should notify Algore, so he can check out the connection...
