I recently bought Scott Paper Towels and was aghast to find the rolls were now single-ply--you could use them for kleenex, they are that thin and flimsy. The boxes of kleenex, BTW, now for the same price you get 65 sheets instead of the 84 they used to hold.
This is undercover inflation, your money buys a lot less product than it did a few years ago.
