everything is SHRINKING

[capesams]

your right...pulled out the pkg. of wheat english muffin's and went to pop one in the toster..the bottom was good size ,,but the top was only half the size of the bottom,,after it got cooked I couldn't find the top must have fallin down in the tray with the rest of the crumb's.

Like George Costanza on Seinfeld after swimming at the beach house on Cape Cod in the cold water......major shrinkage........

Sure, it could be a price increase in disguise, but it could also be in response to critics who think we all eat waaaay too much refined sugar, enriched white flour and saturated fats. Sad to say, it could be fear of obesity lawsuits that could be contributing to your smaller foodstuffs portions.

smaller portions mean people eat more
and therefore have to buy more
capitalism at its best

but some has to do with operating costs and materials cost all of which are directly affected by rising fuel costs ...both heating \cooling and transportation. When i go into a produce section and start seeing vegetables
that i wouldn't wanna feed to hogs for escalated prices i flip out. $5.99 for a measley little 7 0unces of spinach ...pffffffffffff thats wrong...way wrong!

Open a can of tuna lately? Used to feed 3 people,now your lucky to get a sandwich and a half out of it.
I gotta say though food in this country has been the biggest bargain we ever had. The costs and hard labor that go into farming ,picking,shipping,storage and selling and the selection we have still makes it a bargain. Big combines are buying out the small farmer and so goes the competition and prices.
