Rant: reducing product sizes

[KyCardinalFan]

So I opened a new package of toilet paper over the weekend and replaced a finished roll in the bathroom. As the weekend went on, when I'd see it, I kept thinking the roll is shorter than usual. Sure enough, comparing the new roll with an old one from our upstairs bathroom, the new roll is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch shorter. Price was the same as always.

This is just another example along with ice cream going from 1/2 gallon to 3 pints and cereals shaving a few ounces from their boxes.

There's nothing to be done, but I hate the sneaky way they're raising prices.

I hate that everything in the grocery store costs $3 or more now. When I go to the store and want to estimate how much it's going to cost I just multiply the number of standard items in my cart by 3 and it's shockingly close.

Blue Rhino propane tanks now hold two pounds less.

sucks the most with ice cream, now it's 1.5 quarts versus the 2 before...
