MY God! They cut back on how many corn dogs they put in a box!

@lookatdesktop Dog and cat food is the same way. The large bags used to always be 50 pounds. Now they are 35 to 40 for most brands and the price still went up after a couple of months anyways.

@wolfgirl569 , Yep. But I think Kroger & Walmart has some 50 pounders still.

That is the main thing. People still want half a dozen or a dozen of the other. Not 3, or 5.

I think they still put 2 scoops of raisins in a box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran. But maybe they are smaller scoops.

Sometimes it is cheaper to buy in bulk. But canned tuna, for instance in a very large institutional size can would not keep well after opening. It would be best in some cases to buy cases of regular size cans from a food club in any event.

It only works if you can afford to buy 2 of everything and end up with extras. I would pay more to keep getting 6 in a box. How you gonna divide them evenly? Not.

@lookatdesktop and the bags are more than half air..

@scarlet_woman , But of course, sold by weight not volume. And they are almost impossible to open without spilling them all or crushing them in the process.

Yea. Those candy bars, and bags of chips at the checkout stands are a joke. You really have to look for larger packages on the main candy and chips aisles.

@lookatdesktop my dad does the groceries so i only get the news from him or mom

Just look for the mark-downs. They sell mark-down meats that are perfectly fine, in early mornings. To clear space for their new inventory. Look for special mark-downs in your local grocery store.Oh yea, the Philippines are somewhat different. In any case, you can look for specials in any case.

@lady1993 , Well then, you are very lucky they get to do all the shopping and you can simply enjoy what they bring home.

@lookatdesktop That is what I do.

Awe. You could cut that 5th one in half.

@lookatdesktop yes, theaters seat are now wider. parking lots shrinking? Maybe some because some cars now are quite small but it should not be, and with other things also which we usually buy in half dozens or dozens

@rakski , The world is shrinking and most are not paying any attention. But I know you are and so am I and a handful of others. Oh well, life was never perfect anyway, so taking it all in stride is all anyone of us can do and roll with the punches, so to speak.

They are even cutting back on canned bisuits. Nobody was looking while they shrank the size of airplane seats. Even parking spaces are shrinkig in some areas. And don't get me talking about stadum seating or movie theaters. Well, actually movie theaters, if they still exist, began to actually widen their seating.

This is how our economy works, I call it downgrading.
