I'm starting to see shrinkflation happen with staples such as flour and sugar. Have definitely noticed it now that we're preparing for the holiday bake. The price of butter has remained remarkably stable here in the States. Spices are also getting more expensive. The name brand spices have always been expensive, but now even the store brand spices are soaring in cost.
- woodruffw 4y agoThat's interesting -- in my part of the US flour and sugar have been pretty consistent, but butter is much more expensive (like $6-7/lb) when it isn't on sale.
- bearmode 4y agoI bake a lot, haven't noticed flour or sugar getting any smaller? They're the same size bags as they always are
- taylodl 4y agoI'm starting to see 3.5 lb bags of flour showing up. By no means universal, but I'm starting to see them and I've never seen them before. I have family in all different areas of the country and we're seeing dramatic differences in food costs between regions that we've never seen before. But it's not across the board. Like you say, butter has gotten quite expensive where you are - but it hasn't here.
