This is happening all over. With taxes, fees, and over regulations the consumer is paying the price. People need to understand the meaning of 'hidden taxes'.
Anyone's paycheck going up? Doubt it.
Yes, this is happening with alot of things-the quanity gets less and the price stays the same.
For instance check bacon-it's never a pound anymore unless it's Kirby and Holloway's then you get a pound and a half for around $5.00 at Save A Lot stores. It's the only place I've seen it sold.
Mfg' ers think we're stupid & don't notice. I shop for the real thing and botcott the most obvious. Tuna fish, on sale for a bock a can will net you about 3 ounces of meat once you drain it...so I do without.
You noticed that with cans of tuna also 8:08? Yeah after you drain it there's nothing left!
I first noticed this practice with alcoholic products.Pints were no longer pints & almost every measurement had been reduced.
