I am seeing a lot of change in the size, amount, etc., of items I buy. Not just the price.
The toilet paper I get has started making their rolls less width-wise. Tampax sizes have shrunk. You really have to check the weight of a package of chips is and the price you pay for it. It is no longer just the ingredients of a given product but the weight and amount you are getting for the price. The same with packaged vegetables, meat, etc. The companies try to scam you then the store tries to scam you. Just really have to watch what you are getting.
Your thoughts.

Oh yeah! And toilet paper rolls haven't been big enough for years and years to fill all those crocheted covers little old ladies* made in the '70s.
*Not all of us were old back then.

@celticeagle I tried to put up a shot of one that was a doll but for some reason it wouldn't post.

I get one that is fine and the next one is narrower. Weird. Loved the crocheted covers. I had a grey poodle some one made me for years.

The companies have been doing this for decades. Trim a little here, trim a little there and charge the same price. Have a good weekend.

Yeah, the quality is going down while the prices are going up
