This shady Sun-Maid substitution shuffle can also be seen as another sorry reflection on B.O.'s stinky economy, and might further be related in some way to today's workers in the California grape vineyards.
Be sure to make full use of your consumer discretion...
Just like everything else that we’re getting short changed with.
Need to readjust the storage preps.
Everybody is doing it; selling you less product for the same price.
Actually, shrinking the package while keeping the price the same is not a new concept. Been going on for years, long before Obama came along. Consumer Reports often has articles about this.
One example: Cat litter. Used to buy the 16 pound size of scoopable litter. Then it shrank to 14 pounds. Now, it’s 13.5 pounds.
Of course, there are some companies which shrink the contents AND raise the price.
Everybody has been doing it for a couple of years, and it is going to get worse.
They have to do it this way - if they just raised the price, it would show the true cost of inflation. Check how little is in a can of tuna, now (recently 5.5 ounces, now a flat 5 ounces. And I’m old enough to remember 6.5 ounce cans.) And surely you’ve noticed what happened to your roll of toilet paper.
My 64 ounce carton of orange juice is now in a 59 ounce jug.
The were Obamasized
They don’t give you 2 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
lol
This decreasing size has been going on for years—can’t blame Obama for this.
I noticed this too but the competitor was similarly re-sized as well. I bought the competitor anyway.
Just figure out unit prices (per ounce) and go from there.
...of course if you ‘learned’ math using calculators, it’s probably not worth the time.
This has been going on for at least two years. A lot of bacon brands are now 12-14 ounces, not a full pound. A half gallon of ice cream is now 1.75 quarts. Everything is shrinking, and shrinking how far our paycheck will go today. The only thing expanding is the price.
