That's what happens when the government uses the monetary printing press as means to fund their promises and programs. The dollar died in 1971 when Nixon finally severed its tie to gold. At that moment on, government could tax citizens indirectly by debasing the currency through inflation. This rolls down the hill, finally resting on the backs of the common (no-asset holding) person. We blame companies for being greedy; however, they are responding naturally to maintain shareholder value. The government is getting off scot-free and continuing to wreck the economy and people's lives through this hidden tax--all to fund nonsense programs and export funding to warlords, wars, and other governments.
I just hate it when they downsize but still have the audacity to raise the price. It comes off as shady. Now with the internet - when one person notices, everyone notices. It's one thing to gossip about shrinkflation in a closed group like your neighborhood but now on the internet - its global.
Let's call this out for exactly what it is. It's DISHONEST. There's no difference between doing this and putting the price up except that it's a deliberate attempt to mislead customers. When the contents is reduced, or ingredients changed, companies should be obliged by law to display the fact very prominently on the packaging.
I experienced shrinkflation in my maggi packet :')....one cake of noodles used to cost Rs12...it somehow has gotten smaller and now costs Rs14 in India !
I find it cute that this gets reported like something that has just come up in recent years. The difference is that by now its way too obvious to ignore and no one can do anything legally, hence this little cute video from the WSJ.
Shrinkflation has been going on for years. My liquid detergent used to be 5 litres, then 5 kg. It got progressively smaller through the years until 3.5kg now with pack price also having increased. Actual unit price far exceeds compounded official government inflation rates. As a result, I changed to a different brand that is better but cheaper. I wonder how much wsj got paid by those shrinkflatiors to potray them as innocently reacting to costs pressures. Those shrinkflating companies should look into how much they waste on advertising & marketing (bullshitting activities that do not give consumers value). I also wonder how much wsj was paid to not mention consumers turning to lower price alternative brands.
noticed it on Big Macs when i was around 8 by the time i was 18 the gen after me was used to that big mac that's esentially a medium mac. they even cut on the sauce .

I would rather have companies increase prices so they can stop playing this silly game. I would gladly pay to have a full sized item. like a 64 OZ container of orange juice instead of a 56 ounce "half gallon"
If you stop buying all that expensive, processed junk food, you will have more money to buy better quality food such as sirloin steaks, shrimp, real butter, whole grain pasta, non-starchy vegetables and whole fruit. Compare the price per ounce of Doritos to the price per ounce of filet mignon and see for yourself. Ditch the expensive junk food and feed your body well with minimally processed whole foods. You can become leaner and healthier if you avoid consuming all those sugary, starchy, low fiber, low vitamin, junk foods.
WalMart has learned a new trick! Lately I've noticed an awful lot of very poor grade chips in my bags - lots and lots of black spotted chips. I don't dare eat them without looking at them first now. Guess we are in a new normal.

Jesus Christ. Corporations love comments like this. They love the fact that they can screw we the American people and instead of looking at them, ppl immediately blame their political opponents. Sleepy Joe or DT have little do with this. It's the ENTIRE corrupt political system built by both parties. We don't have a democracy or socialism, in America we have CORPORATISM. They get away with whatever they want: Raising prices, subscription based models. Tier based services and goods just to charge more. Shrinkflation. And from the workforce side? Mediocre salaries and wages that have become stagnant since the 80s. Outsourcing American jobs, cutting pensions and benefits from their loyal employees all to make more and more that they end up using in stock buybacks, you name it. Every greedy tactic under the sun. All because corruption is legal in the USA, where lobbyism is legal. No other 1st world country would accept such as disgusting and corrupt system. They own politicians from BOTH SIDES who have helped in the de- regulation process, and now they can literally get away with anything. To make it even better the vast majority of Americans blames the other political side, while mega corporations enrich themselves by screwing us more and more with each passing day. It's the perfect crime...
yeah, lets create more garbage by increasing the amount of packaging per volume sold... I'd rather have the family packs. But then I always shop by looking at the cost/weight or volume.
the way I see it just buy the big bag and eat a small bag every day or just buy a small bag once in a while go to the smallers store to buy snacks this is good when it comes to snacks eather go to churchs free stores get free food or wic to feed ur kids healthy fruit free but it's good to keep from eating so many junk foods or not as much good thing junk food is usely cheaper in smaller stores
All corporations are using the pandemic, war and inflation as an excuse to become more and more extreme in their cost saving greedy tactics. The worse of all? ITS WORKING BEAUTIFULLY FOR THEM. Look at all the CEOs reporting record breaking profits in their earnings calls! To top it all, the average American blames the political side they disagree with. Meanwhile corporations are laughing their way to the bank while 90% of American fight between each other and blames the blue or the reds. Perfect crime, for the perfect criminals.
There weren't many chips in the bag to begin with. They already gave us the 1 chip challenge. That was a precursor of the future of snacks right there.
They’ve been doing this for years…. Something that used to feed a family of 6 can only feed a family of 4, and so on. Instead of being transparent they trick the consumers and we just take it because what can we do?
You can do nothing, just as most consumers consume, and no consumer actually produces anything themselves, you're along for the ride because you've given up the steering wheel for a grocery cart.
Nothing new it's been happening for about 10years I have always looked at the amount in containers to me its common sense I live overseas and I buy local products more bang for the buck and in most cases healthier 😅 🙃 🙂 ☺
PPA is just another example of the nonsense used by lousy companies that sell junk with expensive advertising, marketing & promotion instead of giving consumers real tangible quality & quantity.

A few years ago our 'beloved' government, in the Netherlands, raised the taxes on common foods. Against all advices from scientists and other qualified persons. So, yes, our food is very expensive; the cattle-farmers are stopped (stikstof-crisis), so meat will have to come from?....by rail, road, air, water. Glass-house-products cost a lot of energy (water, light, heat, computers, the glasshouses themselves and their protection). So, what will we eat next year?

Wendy's beef is no longer fresh. It is dry. You can taste the difference. All the fast food chains are shrinking food sizes and increasing prices. Sometimes they do both.

Why buy chips when you can make your own? Big companies that manufacture chips using cheap, overworked Labor should be boycotted. They're driving up the prices on their own.
Forget doritos ...... At this point lays is selling packaged air!! With chips that have fallen into the packaging by mistake
Right lol
🤣
Whaaa? Why would they put chips in our bags of air
