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.

I can see that I have to start paying a little closer attention to the things I’m buying.

Tuna used to be 7.5 oz. I did a thread here a few months ago after checking some 1970 - 90s cookbooks just to make sure I was remembering correctly.

Tuna used to come in 7-ounce cans, maybe even 7.5-ounce cans. When I was in grade school and junior high, my mom would stretch one of those cans to make 3 lunch sandwiches, one sandwich for each of us sisters.

Costco, so far, still sells 7-ounce cans of tuna (its own brand), or at least they recently did.

Same thing for cat food...
