Nabisco Graham Crackers - although that happened a couple of years ago.

What really gets me is they all keep the same size box/can - just don't fill it as much as they used to. That is just a "slap in the face" to the consumer. Just being being arrogant - "see, we can do what ever we want and there is nothing you can do about it"

My wife just pointed out that Pure Leaf tea went from 64 to 59.5 ounces. Same price of course if not more.

I don’t think they really noticed.

I told them it was “the fun size”.

Too funny. We started cutting our Bulley Sticks in half too. Those things are damn expensive to begin with.

Starburst. Hardly worth opening the tiny wrapper.

On a more serious note:

Kingsford charcoal. I was at TSC yesterday and saw 16lb bags. Used to be 24. Walmart carries 18lb bags. At least Sam’s Club has 2-20lb bags although the price is up from $20 to $22.

I had not bought a breakfast burrito from Sonic in a long time. It's at least 1/3 smaller in length and a tad smaller diameter.

I'm guessing same diameter tortilla, but they're doing quite a tuck on the ends to use less filling.

This Shrinkflation is getting totally out of control. We normally buy our toilet paper from Costco but recently ran out so my wife picked up a pack from Aldi.

They’ve literally shaved off 1.5 inches OFF EACH SIDE so the rolls look bizarrely narrow and you MIGHT get through 3-4 trips to the shitter per roll now.

It’s ridiculous

Half-gallon (64 oz.) containers of orange juice have shrunk to 52 ounces and prices have gone up. One of the brands that used to be squeezed from fresh oranges from local (Florida) groves is now a mixture of "from concentrate" and imported from Venezuela.

Potato chips. ‘Regular’ bags look like what I used to get out of a vending machine. Party size bags are small.

The Wendy's "4 for $4" special. They still have it, but there used to be several choices of burgers and chicken sandwiches, now there is only one very basic burger, as well as the drink going from a medium to a small.

Height. Both the wife and I are shorter than we used to be 20 years ago.

Bird seed. I use it as scratch feed for my chickens. Over the last year or so, price has gone from $20 ($19.99) for a 50 pound bag to $30 ($29.99) for a 40 pound bag. Layer pellets are up about $5 but it's still a 50 pound bag.

I've been trying to hold the line on price on the eggs I sell, but I took all the money from egg sales since the last time I bought feed and it covered just over half the price of replacement feed. Been telling my customers this week that the price has gone up a dollar a dozen starting with their next purchase. Only one less-than-supportive reaction and that was from a notorious cheapskate. I fully expect him to be back however. If not, there are other folks.

Wife just brought home a jug of olive oil. Where it used to be a full gallon, it is now just over 3 quarts

Got a large chili and medium frosty at Wendys. Almost 8 dollars.
Not one piece of meat in the cup, nothing but beans. Never again.
That's why I eat fast food once every 3 or 4 months. At least the frosty
was good.

It’s a Texas problem. Blame them. They don’t like beans in their chili. It’s like a religion there. They want meat only.

Y’all swapped. All the beans in Texas, feeling unloved, went to Ohio. Ohio chili meat was bribed into going to Texas.
.

Ice cream sandwiches. They used to have regular size and mini. Regular is now almost the size of the mini at the original price if not a bit higher

Kleenex Tissues, or any brand for that matter.

I've had an awful episode of allergies for the last month. It's apparently Cedar Pollen, which I'm informed cedar trees give off in winter. Runny nose, going through a LOT of kleenex tissues, including any other brand I have in my stash.

I used up my old stash of Kleenex's and had to go buy some more.

Didn't realize it when I bought the new ones, but there are now far less tissues in the box as compared to the other older stuff.

I just went back to buy some more and this time I read the tissue count on the label. It's pathetic that some contain far less.

I don't mind paying more to get what I call Full Boxes, it's just very inconvenient to have the boxes with far less than what I am accustomed to.
.

Skippy Peanut butter is in the same size jar but now it has a large dome at the bottom instead of being flat. It's now 15oz instead of 16

Cattle feed used to be in 50lb bags, now I'm paying a higher price for a 40lb bag.

Fritos. A puny 9 oz “regular size” bag is over $5. 9 ounces is about 2 servings around here.

Science Diet dog food. Used to be a 40lb bag, now 35lb. Price has been steadily increasing as well. Now buying 40lb bags of Kirkland salmon and sweet potato at Costco.

LR, are you referring to Florida Natural orange juice? I just went to the fridge, and sure enough, made from concentrate with product from Mexico. I never noticed and I drink it every day. At least their grapefruit juice is not from concentrate. I mix 50% orange and 50% grapefruit juice every day.
