The Incredible Shrinking Package

Even bananas are getting in on the act. (They cost more too).

Apples (crab apples) and oranges (clementines) have been doing it for a while.

You need to listen to Sheryl Crow, and only use one sheet per visit. :thumbdown:

I think you're supposed to use both sides and the edges

Is that the method were you tear a small hole in the centre and use that piece to clean your fingernail?

Icecream was the first one that really annoyed me. Lately it's been a half gallon of OJ, same size container that used to be 64oz is now 59oz I think. I didn't notice it until I opened a new jug that was no where near full. Just charge more for the same size.....oy.

Not only that, but they fill it with air when they churn it, so you only get half a container by weight even if you get a full container by volume...

The ice cream I was buying was 64oz is now 48oz.
Haagen-Dazs went from 16oz to 14oz.
B&J's is still 16, as is Three Twins (Chocolate Orange Confetti is my current favorite).

Milk is still in 1/2 & 1 (real) gallon for now...

A pet peeve for me is the bubble placed in the middle of toothpaste (and similar) tubes. I invariably end up blowing away a day's supply when the bubble gets to the top.

Or caulking.

When possible I buy products from the bulk section of stores. Prices are easy to determine because everything is sold by the lb.. My favorite store for buying in bulk is WINCO.
