The other thing they are doing is shrinking what is in the packages without telling you. That is going on to the max at Costco. Same packaging but substantially less in the package.

Shrinking packages.

I used to read that back section of Consumer Report when they said “the 18 ounce potato chip bag is now 16 3/4” and so on.
Or one less slice of cheese in a package.

Long ago the standard toilet paper roller width in the bathroom wall has had lots of room to spare on both ends.

True, but Costco won’t be Costco anymore without its 4 gallon bottles of mustard that take up your entire refrigerator

My hubby loves hermit cookies. A bottle of molasses lasts about 2 months. I looked at the new bottle of blackstrap and it was 12 ounces instead of 16. I thought I had grabbed the wrong size but when I compared the bottles they’re the same height but thinner. Imagine how surprised I was.
