Why do they keep insisting there is no inflation?

They must not have bought groceries in a while. A 1 pound package of bacon is now 12 ounces for the same price generally. Old recipes will call for a 16 ounce can of something that now only comes in 14 or 15 ounce sizes. Seems the prices stay the same while the content shrinks.

I've been noticing the same thing. Its actually quite significant. 16oz. ring sausage is now 14oz. And it isn't beef or pork, its mechanically separated chicken. Yech.
