No, you’re not imagining it — package sizes are shrinking

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there were a family clan of time traveling/shape shifting Ferengi running all corporations
this has nothing to do with serving sizes.....smh
but how much your dollar will stretch
I've always shopped watching ounces and comparing B4 and after.
You'll notice some cereals, box looked exactly the same size from the front. One labeled Family Size the other something else. Both the same price. If you read the ounces they are different and one box had more depth. But the box size length and height the same. They were exact same brand and flavor of Cheerios. That's one example.
Another thing you look at as a gimmick for example. They have Oreos and then Oreo Thins. They are giving you less onces, less cookies with Thins, but cost more. That's crazy. But people love them.
This millennium, like my daughter will buy let's say Taki's in a ten pack, overall, less ounces than buying a big bag and bagging them out yourself in ziplocks.
These companies have been making shit smaller and smaller.
I even noticed Heineken used to be in larger bottles. They now make 11 oz bottled. They used to be 16oz then went down to 12oz. Now at 11oz.
They keep prices moderately the same then over time reduced the product. But with these new gas prices, chit may get more crazy.

Scott Hollifield: Shrinkflation and the gaslighting of consumers
‘Gaslighting,” defined as “the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one’s own advantage,” is Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2022.
Meet the Man on a Mission to Expose Sneaky Price Increases (Published 2022)
Edgar Dworsky has become the go-to expert on “shrinkflation,” when products or packaging are manipulated so people get less for their money.
I picked up what I thought was a half-gallon of Turkey Hill Butter Pecan..... right away I noticed that it looked smaller, but the price was the same.... what used to be 64oz is now 48oz.... they done trimmed a full pint off a half gallon... not a couple of ounces or eight ounces.... a full pint...

Exactly.
One just has to laugh at how blatant it all is sometimes.
Like when they advertise a colorful new design / package ... and the first thing you notice is the bottle has shrunk, and the price has increased.
Or the store flyers advertising their "great deals" wherein you have to buy 3 - 4 of an item ... for minimal savings. Or pay the regular price for less than that number which is several dollars more already.
There's a local store which would be great to shop at. Really well-designed / nice layout. Only everything is overpriced. And when they have a "Buy One, Get One" deal they jack the price of the original item's suggested retail price. You end up saving $0.20 with the deal. And if you're shopping for anything else ... you'd have to bring other stores' flyers to get them to PRICE / AD MATCH what they have. It's just a hassle, and in turn you just shop elsewhere. I was given a giftcard to their store earlier this year and walked around in there with an empty cart for quite awhile before I found something OK priced.
