  When I buy based on Price-per-oz:

    Joke’s on me, I don’t remember the old price-per-oz, either.

      The trick is to realize what a good price per oz is for food or drink as a baseline for all products.

      14.2 for frozen dinners or soup cans? Budget. 72 for olive oil? Pricey but a little goes a long way. 3.2 for cans of carbonated drink? Nice buy.

  Shrinkflation has been common for a while already, so it’s probably safe to assume the product is smaller. For food products, I try to shop at places that sell by weight instead of by package. It’s often cheaper that way too.

  That’s why I use a grocery list app that lets me keep track of prices and package sizes. So I can be furious for a few minutes while contemplating whether I really need this thing and then resign myself to my fate of getting 27 g less for the same money.

  Not just sizes, but ingredients too. I used to drink those Naked Juice smoothies, which were originally just blended fruit with a little bit of apple juice added for liquid. They would write something on the back that said something like “this bottle contains 13 strawberries and 2 bananas”.

  Then one day I noticed the drinks were much more runny that usual. I had to search for older pictures people had taken of their bottles, but sure enough all the numbers had changed - and apple juice was no longer a minor ingredient, it was the main one.

  It’s an awesome series. Bought netflix because of this.

  People have this dumb idea that if you can’t prove a criminal is doing something criminal, you have to go along with what they say and pretend everything is on the up and up.

  It’s so fucking dumb. We have brains, we know scams, we know scammers, like, I don’t need physical proof to know when someone is trying to fuck me over. I just know they are, and I break off all engagement. “Skeptics of Reddit” be like, “nu uh, that’s illogical, you can only act on anything where there is absolute irrefutable proof, otherwise you are so dumb!”, shiiiiet, I lived on the streets, people could smell being ripped off, and bullets would fucking fly, and they were rarely wrong either.

  I usually just search “product shrinkflation reddit” on Google and 9/10 times will find the thread that says exactly what it is/ used to be. Unfortunately that site’s the place to find the answer to this question.

  This was me yesterday standing in the cracker aisle. Price goes up size goes down.

  Tostinos pizzas used to be the perfect size and tasted good.

  They shrank them. Then made them square. Then shrank them again.
