Biden the Grouch: Joe says he was 'stunned' to find out the Cookie Monster gets smaller cookies because of shrinkflation - and slams companies for charging the same price for a bag of chips when you get a 'helluva lot fewer'

Actually 60 cents is equivalent to 6.26 in today’s money. So you are getting a deal.

This has nothing to do with fuel prices doubling which then increases manufacturing and shipping costs!

Shrinkflation is a lie. Cookies are NOT smaller. They are more expensive. Biden lies.

And that means the 65 cents an hour I was getting weeding corn, potatoes, and onions is equal to about $7.00 per hour today.

Yeah the wife bought a few boxes of thin mints. I usually consume a stack per sitting except the boxes have shorter stacks which is better for me anyway.

Special thanks to Joe Biden for lowering my thin mint intake. Thanks Joe! :-)

She’ll game is a good phrase. Like buying a car. Higher trade in value increases the loaneate. Rebates after they raise the price. If you don’t use the rebate to lower the price you are basically borrowing it from them.

Recall that Obama used to speechify against many of the actions and regulations — of his own government.

He ran to the middle/right and governed to the extreme left, or at least his dozens of czars did for him.

Shrinkflation was common during the presidential disaster that was Carter and during the Obama inflation era. Shrinkflation has been around a long time.

[How soon before Biden, in desperation, begins signalling price controls?]

Well they can fill the bags more but then they would charge more. Shrinkflation or inflation take your pick.

Yeah, you’re right PINO Drooling Spoon. They should quit trying to hide the price increases from Bidenflation. Dumb azz.

Very true. Really no need for the 15 or 20 an hour. Unfortunately, republicans never give facts when they say no. They are horrible at messaging.
