So have you noticed things are shrinking? And not necessarily the good things like our waistlines. No what I’m talking about is stuff that affect our waistline. That’s right, the food we’ve been buying for years are shrinking in size…and yet, the prices stays the same. And it’s happening everywhere.
Here’s just a few examples I found searching around the web…
And those Cadbury eggs we love? Yup. Not immune. Though they deny shrinkage.
And the latest victim…Girl Scout Cookies. Seriously. There’ll be less cookies in some of the boxes this year, but it’s the same price. But, alas, it’s a good cause. You have to weigh the positives and negatives.
So all these product makers say the changes in sizes/quantity are needed because the prices of ingredients have gone up. That’s cool.
I’m sure once the prices return to normal and the economy is steady again they’ll go back to giving us the normal size for the normal price. 
Hi Shelli, loved your Samhain Holiday Freebie story so here I am checking out more of your backlist and seeing what’s upcoming. And I totally agree with your post – I have noticed this trend in potato chips for a long time. And yes, I eat pototo chips quite often so I am quite on top of this trend in this food product! I also totally agree with your post about swimwear for young children. I have a two-year old girl and she’ll be wearing a full-body type skin-diving suit when she’s near the water!!! Hope you’re having a good week :)
Hi, Allison! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and to leave a comment on my blog. That’s so awesome!! And I’m glad you liked the freebie! (It’s the third unofficial book in the Seattle Steam series!)
Oh how cute you have a two-year-old. That’s a great age (terrible twos? Bah, I found it at the fours and fives!)
Have a great week as well!
