Never mind the shrinking package-------
how about the shrinking $ dollar $ ???
And
We Canadians feel that shrink more than our neighbors to our south.
Next wait to buy a new car, due to Mexico/Trump your car $$'s will shrink a lot more.
I somehow think this trend is described as 'inflation' vs shrinkage, or camouflaged as such.
But notice salaries/wages don't increase as fast inflation does.

Luxury car tax has just been increased to protect a local industry that no longer exists.
Toyota was the last to go, ford went a while before.

An O/T tangent...Stated values in advertising make me laugh...are people really that gullible??
I try not to pay attention to commercials but sometimes it can be hard to escape them...One of the current ones that is ludicrous is the mail order steak company...Do people really think they are getting $250 worth of meat for $50??
Do people really think that shower head and valve for a walk in tub is worth $850??
And what is as scary as it is funny is the fact that telephone psychics make enough money to buy television advertising...

That one's annoying, but I can write it off to marketing. The one that really ticks me off is the MAP Scam; 'Add to cart to see our 'too low to show price'. Or you see an item for exactly the same price, down to the penny at every website or retailer. Manufacturers should not be able to dictate to or strongarm retailers like that.

Locally a 60 pound bag is a cheaper unit cost. Not cheaper per bag which obviously it is but cheaper per pound. We all know which is easier to handle.

One of our local enterprising doughnut stores sells doughnut holes, just a little ball of doughnut that would fit in the hole.

Every donut shop sells the holes.
