good find
Dukes Mayonnaise still comes in a 32oz Jar.
My lifelong Brand Best Foods / Hellmans pissed me off when they downsized to a 30oz Jar so I tried Dukes and it’s a winner.
Same with Dial soap. The bar is now made with air whipped into it and it is shaped to use the same sized box, but with substantially less soap “so you can grasp the bar more securely”. Really? I’ll take my chances...put it back the way it was 20 years ago.
Pound of coffee now 12 oz
Their TP is the same. It went from 36 rolls to 30 rolls a few years ago.
My favorites are the companies trying to convince you that less is good for you.
Robert Reich & Mrs. Jeb Bush both are smaller too.
Sugar and n the Raw at Costco was 7 lb pkg now 6 lb slightly higher price. At least 16% cost increase.
Less is more
If global warming nitwits wanted to make a real impact to save the environment, they’d stop with the Chicken Little crap and start complaining about the real environment evil — shrinking package sizes.
Instead of raising prices a few cents, companies create megatons of trash from people who need to buy multiple boxes of something just to make up the volume of what a single box before would provide.
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?
Lever soap is about half the size that it was.
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.
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.
It’s actually (1-0.875) = 12.5%. So it’s even worse.
Red Oak 1x12 at Home Depot went from $9.87 to $15.68 in 4 months(!).
Biden Carter.
I remember when kemp’s was making their ice cream buckets smaller. I complained to them and they told me everyone was doing it. That was all. I still have the different sizes I store things in.
