Tunafish cans went from six ounces to five, everything is smaller and either the same price or more expensive.
No point looking for the golden calf, they ground that sucker up and are selling it by the pound.
Eggs are going for gold rush prices, and produce (always expensive at this latitude) is off the chart.
Canned veggies used to come in 16 ounce cans, now 14.5, and even the toilet paper is narrower by at least 1/4 inch. As for how much you get, they keep messing with the size of the roll, the size of the cardboard tube (if present), the number of sheets, etc, so it is hard to say, but it definitely isn't as wide.
I think the egg prices have spiked at least partly because of avian flu; but the meat and fish prices are astounding.

The only beef I can afford is Shank Steak. Chuck steak is now unaffordable.
And don’t forget cartons of orange juice. Prices have skyrocketed, but the size of the carton has dropped from 64oz to 59oz.

I’d stay away from tunafish because you don’t know what kind of meat is really in it.
It wasn’t long ago they found a dead body in one of the tuna ovens or something like that or someone fell into one of the machines at a tuna plant.
In Venezuela, toilet paper.has been reduced to 0” wide.
Shrinkage isn’t just a Seinfeld meme.
