- Grakel 5y agoPrices up 2.1%, I would like to see the average package size change. Shrinkflation is happening to everything on the shelves.
- gruez 5y agopackage size is factored into inflation.
- Overton-Window 5y agoPackage constituents are not.
- nate_meurer 5y agoWhat does that mean? Can you elaborate, or provide an example?
- NationalPark 5y agoMost of the food items counted are regulated or graded eg beef. So the package constituents are being considered generally.
- DudeInBasement 5y agoFood items are swapped out for lower cost 'substitutes'. I can't imagine someone cooking those numbers
