Costco paper towels. Same price as the previous several times buying them. Now with 20 fewer sheets. 140/160= .875 Inflation rate: 8.75%
Find the old rolls in store with 160 sheets and it’s effectively like buying the new sheets at 8.75% off!
“Citizens, Big Brother has increased the chocolate ration from 30 grams to 25 grams!”
We LOVE Duke’s!!
They will increase the size of the cardboard tube next...
I get ‘em free from Staples for recycling ink cartridges. I get $2 per cartridge that I pay $.10 for on Ebay and recycle 20 per month ($40 per month), then buy a case of TP or Paper towels every few months.
Costco supports liberals. You shouldn’t shop there.
How about those weird super blowers they have in the restrooms...talk about the ultimate means of spreading germs through a (male) population.
They don’t have those damn things in the girls’ can, correct?
Well, I haven’t looked in the girls’ restroom lately. I’ll put a dress on and see.
;)
You even have to put on a dress anymore. Just close your eyes and wish real hard. Poof...you are a woman now. Until you don’t want to be.
I’m old school like Curly in the 3 stooges. Civil War spies. Funny stuff and a bit racist.
Lever soap is about half the size that it was.
The bags i get are 11-12 ounces. If i liked just regular coffee flavors, i would buy the bigger bags.
I only get them on sale prices anyway and it takes me aout a month to get through a bag.
Always get coffee. If you dont drink it its a great trade/barter item.
Yep, a lot of that going on, on all kinds of products, and for years.
They think we don’t notice. And most of us don’t.
Sometimes I think it is a conspiracy: They reduce the amount of product in the package, keep it the same price, so the government can pretend there is no inflation, because see, the price per package is the same!!!
And the quality on a lot of stuff is falling as well.
Anyone eaten a frozen pizza lately? Used to be four brands that I though were pretty decent for frozen pizza. The last four I tried, all different brands, and among the ones I used to like, were barely edible. Skimpy toppings and all of them had crusts that I swear the major component must have been finely powdered drywall... It wasn’t even sawdust... that would have given a better flavor and texture than what was there.
I now make my own easy ‘pseudo pizzas’ that I vastly prefer to the store bought ones, and they only cost about 30 cents each to make (although it takes two of them to make a full meal for me). I’ll post the recipe if anyone is interested.
Bustelos is good stuff. 24 pack on amazon:
I’m interested in your recipe! Thanks.
Not a bad deal at all for 24 10 oz bags. Probably a little too high octane for me tho...
Toilet paper roll size .
Now that’s the swindle of the century.
It’s all mega roll this. Double the sheets that.... Such a massive smoke and mirrors package labeling.
Overall though, a buck a roll is still a lot better than other countries.
And I thought it was just my diminishing fine motor skills. Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel better now.
What is in the circle?
I’m a Best Foods/Helmanns mayo person from a long time ago....but in a pinch Fred Meyer brand works well....
Sorry, it didn’t post well. Left shows 160 sheets, right 120 sheets.
