New packaging noted for those that are keeping track

[Horse with no Name]

I have noticed that cereal boxes are smaller, bread loaves are shorter, but new observation today.

My tissue boxes are about 2 inches shorter and cost about .60 more.

1. 240ct tissue down to 200 or even 180ct

And like you said, the price keeps going up.

2. Also cookies

my wife noticed it this weekend, the price on them stayed the same but the weight went from 16oz to 13oz.

on edit: I think they were a Christie brand of some kind.

5. Oreo cookie size down 20%, packaging changed to take up more space.

Safeguard, Dial, etc, changing bar shape to take up more space, but less product.

3. Remember when a can of coffee used to be a pound?

Now we're down somewhere between 10 and 13 oz. No, I'm not drinking more, they're just putting less in the can.

9. Ah, I remember it well. I remember

getting most of my money's worth when I went to the store. My children get sick of my talking about the "good old days" when I could feed a family of 5 on $30.00 a week and we actually had meat. I must start measuring my coffee by the grain. There is only so far money can go when one is on Social Security largesse only.

4. Which brand?

I just now looked at my tissue, compared to an older box, same size.
We use Dollar General square boxes, they are made by Kleenx, actually, 1.00 per box.

6. How does Reaganomics control Inflation ....... UnEmployment !!!

we already have so much unemployment we can't afford any more

7. Gorton's frozen fish.

The box they come in is about the size of a cigar box. There were two pieces inside.
The box was big enough to easily fit six or maybe even eight pieces in the same box.

8. That's been going on for decades now -- greed, greed and more greed -- !!

And a Congress that isn't blowing the whistle on either theft by our banks,

theft by our credit card companies -- or theft by our corporations against

consumers --

and where is Elizabeth Warren?

This is consumer protection?
