The pizza pack says "Meltier cheese" Why not say meltier cheese with double the price. And the same size pizza. "New bottle" Now the bottle is thin and tall and has the same number of ounces and a higher price. Not small and wide anymore. Now a roll of toilet paper that was thin with a fat roll at double the size and double the price with the same number of sheets. Only 37% of people celebrate Valentine's day. 73% of people believe in karma.

Toilet paper prices have really gone through the roof. Cheesier usually means its more plastic and faker cheese.

With the toilet paper Americans go crazy for their toilet paper. They wanted it over food during Covid.

@sallypup We buy a cheaper brand for the initial wipe and then use a good baby wipe for the finishing cleanup. You just can't flush the baby wipes after you've used them. They have to go in the trash or older pipes will clog up.

@jstory07 I remember those days. I am finding that generic tp is thin and awful. I close my eyes and pay the four dollars extra for better product.

The changes of the sizes really bugs me. They try to make things look bigger, when usually it's just configured to look that way, and in many instances, you are getting less.

@jstory07 I have noticed the “shrinkflation” thing in many store bought items, they shrink it down but yet somehow the price keeps increasing. Extremely frustrating!

Everything is expensive these days because of global economic problem. Now I wonder who's to blame?

We know... You have to remember half of us didn't vote for him and I'm hoping he'll lose enough influence and the Republicans won't have enough people still in office after the mid-terms to let him keep doing stupid things.

The "cheese" on those pizzas isn't real cheese anymore. They've added oil based cheese to a real cheese to make it melt easier. The ketchup brands are just changing the bottles so they can charge more. That's one way to increase the price without adding any value. With toilet paper, we buy Angel Soft but they've changed the formula. It's not as soft as it used to be but it's still fairly cheap. (We just use toilet paper to wipe away anything still clinging to our butts and then use a baby wipe to finish the cleaning job.) And don't forget, you can't flush baby wipes, even if the package claims they're flushable. They'll still clog the toilet pipes. We only buy candy after Halloween and Valentine's Day so we get good brands for half price. I WISH karma were real. There are an awful lot of people who need to get real payback for the way they treat others, in my opinion, of course. Edit to add: If you want a breakdown of toilet paper, there's a good one on this site: Scroll down the page on that site and they show a chart for softness and durability.

Everything is expensive nowadays. The products are smaller than before. I find it cheating towards the people.

The prices of goods are getting crazy, everything is more expensive now. Valentine's day is not a big thing here in Europe.

Everything is going up in price whether it’s shrinking in size or not. It’s so out of hand now and we are helpless.

My wet wipes that I have in the bathroom get smaller and smaller. So many things are shrinking and costing the same or more.
