Couple days ago in this town ALL the major coffee brands (not beans, I’m talking normal coffee) shrunk their containers from around 30 ounces down to 22 or 23 ounces.

All of them. Same day. Big sale signs $8.95!!!

Prior to the 2008 crash coffee containers were nearly uniformly 32+ ounces. The first container shrinkage came them but not every brand at once.

Nine bucks for 23 ounces for Folgers. Don’t tell me there’s no f’n inflation.

I bought coffee two days ago - 30.5 oz container (I checked after reading your post!) for just under $7. I get a generic brand .... just need enough to help wake up in the a.m. so I’m no ‘gourmet’. What I usually buy was not on the shelf ... hmmmm, wonder if it’s because the next shipment will be a smaller size?

I’ve noticed this happening with a lot of food items.

It’s called SHRINK-FLATION.

It is insane, almost everything we pick off the shelf to put in a cart has been shrunk down: box of crackers, tuna fish can, soup can, coffee can, etc.

It is to the point that some of the "full size" items are getting close to those mini "travel size" items they used to sell.
