We need to be careful at the grocery store. I have noticed a growing trend about package sizes. Many companies are putting less product in their packages but keeping the outside packages the same size. A good example is snack size candy bars that use to come 10 to a package for a $1.00, on sale. If you look at them now, there are only 8 in a package. So be very aware when shopping.

I agree...I recently noticed, Reynolds Aluminum Foil, now has 20 square feet on the roll, previously it had 25 square feet on the roll!
I'll never forget Morningstar Farms advertising 1/3 less fat per serving in their vegetable breakfast sausages. Well the serving size went from 3 links to 2! This sort of sneaky thing goes on everywhere. Does anybody else out there remember when a bag of potato chips was a whole pound and coffee came in one pound cans?
I also noticed that some salad dressings have gone from the squirt type hole to no hole. My theory is use more = spend more.
I just noticed yesterday when I purchased a widely advertised margarine that comes in 2 8 oz. cups that the cups are now 7.5 oz. each. In fact the manufacturer used the same cardboard sleeve which had 16 oz.
