  Shrinkflation also has an element of being sneaky with it. Making the product cheaper or smaller without changing the price or packaging so that they can sneak the relative price increase past the customer.

  This is them plainly telling the consumer that shit will be 5% more expensive now. That’s just regular old inflation.

    Shrinkflation tend to be shrinking in quantity, but yes whilr ikea can’t shrink their furniture, they can shrink their quality. Whether they indeed shrink the quality it’s up to debate tho.
