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 the amount of water in ham and even fish is way up...and the ice coating frozen chicken is much thicker, to add weight.

Yes. And it's been reported for years. Just google the topic.

Here's a story from 2011: Downsized Packages: Same Price Buys Less.

A pound of bacon is no longer 16oz, it's 12oz, and costs MORE too.

The shrinkflation is insane. Spend a ton more, get a lot less.
