Do what? Have you bought any toilet paper... Charmin, Northern... major brands? They are all 1.25 inches narrower.

What’s your point? Mine is that shrinking package sizes are reflected in the inflation figures. If you thought you were responding to someone who doesn’t recognize that packages are shrinking, then you directed your comment to the wrong person.

Not only are the toilet paper rolls less wide, the are also shorter, or not as long as they have been before.

I had stocked up on both Charmin and Northern last summer, and I have bought some recently. Both brands were shorter, and the Charmin was less wide. I noticed that the whole package was at least 3 inches shorter than the older packages. I tend to buy the 30 normal rolls per package.

And I haven’t seen any brands on sale for 50 cents a roll for awhile now.
