Processed/packaged food/goods has another trick where they give you less but it seems like the same amount, and charge you the same, so you don't notice it as much. I bet you a lot of those things you're buying you're actually getting less than you were 1-2 years ago. They reduce the number of toilet roll sheets by 30-40, or the ounces in the package go down 3-4 oz, or they give you 1 less hot dog.
Here's a site that tracks the downsizing (I've also seen it called 'Shrinkflation'), and there are a lot of examples on the site. I'm sure you'll find something (probably multiple somethings) you buy on there that got downsized in the last year or two.

The top one on there shows they reduced Dorito's bags from 9 3/4 oz to 9 1/4 oz....sneaky sneaky!
