Shrinkflation

[dragonm8]

We've all seen things get smaller and prices rise, but where does it stop?

The conglomerates try to squeeze margins to maintain profit to keep the shareholders happy.

McDonalds burgers are smaller, Curly Wurlies non existent, Mars Bars, packet of biscuits shrinks from 300g to 275g.......the list goes on.

Seems we are happy to pay more for less.

Frijj milkshakes timeline from 2017

500ml
.
471ml
.
400ml
.
in the last 12 months they have dropped to 330ml.

Everytime they have changed that have had special offer prices to hide the drop and then the price has gone back up again.

Never mind the lack of width, feel the lack of quality.

Pah, you can talk. Ginger Baker used to do 28 minute drum solos. All we get these days is the occasional fill.

Whoever makes trousers is clearly in on this too because the waist size I always used to buy is way smaller than it used to be. Oddly they seem to have left the length alone as that's not changed much. They must have felt guilty about shrinking the waists.

They are all the same size and that is all that matters.

I also wonder about quality of certain tinned products. Our old cat eats mostly one type of food. Has for years and there is no changing him. We have noticed cost for 2.8 oz (80 gm) pack has gone up significantly, but also the consistency of the food has changed. Are they using cheaper ingredients?

I couldn't believe Large cod and chips in Poole was £13 . The world's gone mad

As Mars Bars get smaller I get bigger. Go figure.
