Save this food list and “re-buy” it a month from now. Also, make sure you watch the weight/count statistics. Food companies know you want prices, but not necessarily ounces or counts.

Exactly. What was a pound is now 12 and in some cases 10 ounces. That has been happening since the mid 2000’s.

“weight/count statistics”

Xcellnt point as quantities/weight on many of my items have decreased price remains the same.

Kinda like a slight of hand trick

Good point, but Bert minimized that problem in his choice of foods. A dozen eggs, two pound loaf of bread, pound if ground round, etc. He even specifies the weight of the packages bacon. Yes, the breakfast cereal boxes change size constantly, but not as bad as ice cream which has steadily dropped from 64 ounces to 56 to 50 and is now at 48 for many brands.

I re buy the food list every month.

The current list is the fifth iteration
