Oh, boy. Another “crackdown!”
More Stalin. Blame the managers of companies, then shoot them or send them off on an arctic vacay.
“Shrinkflation?”
That’s how Dr. Jill Biden described it....
Leftists always attack. Keeps everyone off guard and helps them always win.
Yes! And the media’s incessant reminders of what the thing was formerly called are a contradiction. If it was formerly called that, yet they are required to call it that in every reference....well, they’re idiots.
What do you suggest the government do about it?
Biden doesn’t even know what he’s reading. This issue was brought up by his 24 year old equal opportunity affirmative action, zero life experience staff. This is the third grade thinking coming out of our government. It would be pathetic if it wasn’t so serious.
It doesn’t really help if they have to buy the items more frequently.
Companies should just be honest and raise the danged prices. A price hike is honest; shrinkflation is deception.
If you get shrinkflation, you get more of straight up inflation. Personal sized fruit pies at the Walmart went from 50 cents to 74 cents. Candy bars that cost a nickel when Biden was a kid are now hovering around the $2 mark, up from $1.39. A quarter pound burger, regular fries and a drink was $7 not long ago at most fast food chains. Now they are $11 and up. (Wendy’s Biggie Bag features a tiny burger). EVERYTHING at Dollar Tree went from $1 to $1.25 and Up. The Greeting Cards went from 50 cents to $1. USA grown Apple Juice (Treetop) went from $2.49 to $3.79 (Walmart/Kroger).
Simple basic math is just too complicated for dems.
Price per ounce….. waaaaaahhhhh.
Price per ounce or pound or unit is on about every price label in grocery stores.
When stores list price per steak because people are just to lazy.
Even with every cell phone having a Caculator. Some shoppers still don’t get it.
I quietly snicker in side when my wife asks how much is the sale price when something is 25% off.
Have you ever owned a business?
They’re just BBB Joe! That’s Bidenomics!
That being said, it is flipping insane how much a bag of chips costs these days. It’s becoming a special treat to get some chips these days.
A well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory and diminished faculties who has never worked in business in his entire life is now telling businesses how to do packaging and pricing.
Businesses need to tell the well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory and diminished faculties where to go.
“Shrinkflation” is nothing more than a reflection of inflation.
It appears that people who do not actually do their own shopping have just discovered this. The rest of us have known it for years.
Shrinkflation happened while Carter, CLinton, Obama and Biden’s handlers were in the white house. There is a pattern there.
No kidding. The 1980s called the WH and want their pet gripe back.
