But have you noticed? Everything’s getting smaller, too.

Yes. And it's been going on for many years. A pre-packaged pack of hot dogs is not 16 oz. It's 14 oz. Look at the size or net weight of many items and they are now smaller but the prices are the same...except lately.

...and larger ridges in applesauce and pasta sauce jars hiding under the labels.

I notice that nuts that used to be sold in 16 oz bags are now in 12 oz bags.

Duh. Our favorite restaurant serves the best fried oysters. Last year it was 10-12 for $10. Recently $12 for 4.

SHRINKFLATION: Soaring Prices Lead To Smaller Burgers, Pizzas At Restaurants

I've got news for them. Shrinkflation has been going on for years now.

This has been going on for a while. I used to be a TV news reporter, and I did stories on this ten years ago, showing items like soup, candy bars, Doritos, and a “half-gallon” of ice cream. I think people are noticing it more even more now because it’s coupled with rampant inflation.

Going out to eat is something that we have also shrunk. Lousy service, smaller portions of subpar fare at elevated prices has made our home cooking far more desirable.

I used to have a problem storing paper towels on top
of one of our cabinets—twelve rolls would fit but an
extra six roll pack would hang halfway off the top of
the cabinet.

Not any more—eighteen rolls fit perfectly.

My cabinet does not lie!

(This post was shrunk in size in honor of shrink-flation.)

Yeah, the reality is it’s leading to layoffs.

Oh yes. I have noticed the Incredible Shrinking Products for sale. It was already going on before COVID shut downs. When Transportation Sec. Pete Butt began his mismanagement of commercial shipping and trucking concerns, the chaos quickly began to spread. All the meats are far more expensive now vs just a few months ago.

Restaurants are, of course directly effected. They pass the costs onto the customer, or reduce the quantity they sell.
For example; I bought Mongolian Beef at a local Chinese Food restaurant the other day. I noticed two things; the container is smaller now vs a few months ago and even this new, ‘improved’ smaller container is only 3/4 full of product. I would prefer paying a little bit more for a full container, but they are not asking me about it. They are probably hoping I didn’t notice any difference.

This is fantastic. The state has decided our waistlines need to get smaller and they have instituted measures to help us be healthier. All hail the state. (/s)
