i believe that they claim they are tracking it, not disputing that at all.

My biggest shrinkflation complaint is that products that used to work might not anymore.

Aluminum foil is so thin you have to use heavy duty or it tears like tissue. And heavy duty of course got thinner. And they both cost more.

Even smaller things. I noticed a 'standard 16oz can' of HEB diced tomatoes is 15.5oz. Same goes for Folgers coffee.

I can't remember the last time I saw a 16 oz can of anything. The standard has been 14.5-15.5 oz for years, depending on the product.

Have you bought cough medicine recently?

Bottle size has shrunk significantly. Prices remain the same or higher.

The bottle soap I usually use for baby stuff seems to be less-concentrated. It's thinner and not as foamy when I went from one (1-2 years older bottle from last kid) to another bottle.

It's possible there was some evaporation or something, but I always remember the Dapple being an amazing soap and washed so much with tiny amounts. Now it doesn't seem to make as much suds.

I haven't compared price but I'd expect that it got more expensive as well.

Ground coffee now in 10oz cans and 10oz bricks?

Has that been a traditional size for coffee in the US?

Still mad that a standard size coffee can reduced to 10oz.

Bacon being sold in 12 oz packs.

Flash frozen farmed shrimp from India ain't too bad though at around $5-6 a lb.

At the end of the day we now seeing Europe prices and European sizes in the US.
