We love Voortman chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Up until 2 weeks ago the package was 12.34 ounces with 20 cookies for $3.79. Bought today, same price, same size packaging now it's 7.4 ounces with 12 cookies! I had to toss my cookies after seeing that! (pun intended). I have seen breakfast cereal "shrink" an ounce or 2 in the same size box and other similar "shrinks" but this one took the cake, er, cookie!

My favorite: a certain kind of cooking spray--can't recall the name--had

Opened up a can of Delmonte cooked Beets for a salad. Can was filled to the brim with liquid and 5 slices of beets golf ball size. Usually the can is packed with slices and small amount of liquid. Good thing I have beets growing, soon to be harvested.

On a positive side TJ’s potato chips are the same full bag, as always. So far haven’t noticed any size difference in products I buy there. New lemon scones were very good, but vanilla bean still my fav.

Potato chip bags 1/2 the size of previous bags, same price

We’ve always made our homemade oatmeal raisin/chocolate cookies. Also noticed the same with potato chips and only buy them on sale. It’s frustrating we know just say NO it’s easy.

Have you measured the width of your toilet tissue lately ? A roll "used" to just fit into any standard T.P. holder, rather wood, metal, ceramic, etc. all were a standard width to accommodate a roll. You put in a new roll, it filled the holder, side to side, sometimes even a little difficult to pull off a length from a new roll due to the tight fit. Kept shrinking over the years by just 1/4 of an inch at a time, then by a full 1/2", has gradually been reduced to about 4 inch width by some brands. Nice to be retired, we have time to notice weights, widths, and volumes. Check out a HALF GALLON of ice cream these days, and the newest one I noticed, a "half gallon" of bleach is no longer a "half gallon", the math books really need to be "updated". How many ounces in a pound can of coffee now ? 14 ounces ? 12 ? 10 ?

Costco's Kirkland branded coffee still comes in a 3 pound can, unlike most of the national brands.

Maybe it's because people's butts are getting smaller? Just kidding.

And here I thought the TP issue had been thoroughly covered.

That is funny!
Butt's are not getting smaller, but many are getting tighter.

As a positive, the egg prices seem to have come down to a much more reasonable range.

Milk has come down as well.

If you boycott these insane product increases and shrinkages, they will be forced to rethink what they are doing
