Lots of stuff is coming in slightly smaller packages lately. The cereal box just shrank about 5 oz. It is still the same lengh and width, but thinner. Lots of 1 lb cans of veggies are now 14 or 15 oz. instead.

You know it’s bad when they shrink the veggie cans! Even during the Nixon/Carter misery-index years, we still had a real 1 pound can of veggies!LOL.

I just finished re-organizing the pantry this morning and noticed I have a wee bit more room... again. When we remodelled many years ago, I made sure cabinets and shelves fit what they needed to fit. Either my storage space is growing or packaged goods are shrinking. We all know it’s the packaged goods that continue to shrink but cost more.
