Comment on Another example of shrink flation... oh, my beer...

  The whole idea by shrinkflation is to hide it from the consumer. By having compareable size standard, you see them doing this. So, yes, you see the two prices go up, but at least you have the ability to see it.

    This is true but do you remember the liter price you paid for laundry detergent or do you remember that you bought it for $14?

    I’d wager that most people are in the latter, even if they are completely informed of shrinkflation.

    For me the liter price I use when trying to figure out if a sale of the 1 gallon is actually cheaper than the 2 gallon normal price (or whichever units of measure for an item).
