Shrinkflation hits the nation AGAIN: Honey Bunches of Oats slashes amount of cereal in boxes by 17%, Haribo Gummy Bear packs are down to just 4 ounces and Angel Soft toilet paper cuts sheets from 425 in a roll to 320
As prices surge in US amid inflation levels not seen in 50 years, companies have engaged in practice called product downsizing, or ‘shrinkflation,’ to cut costs
Notable brands to ‘shrinkflate’ their products in recent months as the American dollar continues to lessen in value include Charmin, Bounty, and Gatorade
Joining the parade of downsized products is Honey Bunches of Oats, which has seen the weight of its standard box, previously 14.5 ounces, lessen to 12 ounces
Speaking of “shrinkflation” my allergy pills used to come in a 30 pack which has now become 20 pills for the same price.
*whew*
I think I rested more at work than I do here!
I paused in my kitchen to decide on which cookbooks
I can do without.
I hate to part with them, but the ones I don’t use much
may be a treasure for someone else!
I rediscovered my 117 year old cookbook titled :
“The Twentieth Century Cookbook and Practical Housekeeping.”
NOBODY is getting That one!
It was fun to get lost in it for awhile this afternoon!
Hope you guys are having/ had a good day.
Mine was okay until I vacuumed the living room, and my back
freaked out!
Rest and medicine helped quite a lot.
