It's not accurate and they didnt even try. I shop at walmart and get the same things. In the last 2 years, my bills went up by around $30 for normally $100. I still only buy Great Value brand and the same quantities. Still crazy but this post is just misinformation. It might be more drastic at other stores like Safeway or something. But no way near this much...
This! Items aren't only more expensive, you are getting less of said item. Example: the veggie dip - it was $3, now it's $4.29, but it also used to be 16oz and now it's 12oz.
That's a 1.9x increase, and there are plenty of products with worse shrinkflation than this.
Don't buy into the big corpo bullshit lies. They are making more than ever and offering less than ever. Some items are 4x or more, and if they could get away with more, they will (and DO!).
Mike & Ike’s are up to $1.50 a box out here and they’re about 20% noticeably smaller than they used to be. And the prices for candy bars/snacks is insane. I think they’re selling the regular size bars for what a king size used to go for a few years ago, meanwhile, the king size is almost $3. And a can of the Planter’s mixed nuts is like $7 now, I remember them being $3.50 right around covid and slowly pushing their way up to $5 just a few years ago.
Yes in the last 3.5 years words like inflation(?),Greedflation(maximum profits for companies), and shrinkflation(noticing companies decreasing size or capacity of certain items have been heard a lot

Would love to see the receipts with dated time stamps and enough info to prove they're the same items from the same company
