The plastic bags at the checkout are also smaller so you think you're getting the same amount in a bag.

The shopping carts shrunk too - at least in some chains - they used to be Huge and now they are smaller than decades ago - little 'eye-mind' tricks...

True. I used to be able to fit three gallon jugs of milk in the shelf in the front. Now, I can only fit two. They also have those little things that are about half the size of a cart. Sorry, but I can't afford the trip into town every other day so try to stretch it to once every two weeks. These down-sized carts just aren't big enough so I really have to par down my list and over stuff the cart. It's a real balancing act.
