Aint that the truth. This household no longer does "chips". Not sure if this is a regional thing, but the bags of (doritos for instance) are barely half full right now. I'm starting to see the same in other soft packaged items (french fries; chicken nuggets, etc..).

Just as well I suppose, most of it is junk food anyway and was easily scratched off our list.

I'm paying the exact same price for a can of coffee this year that I was two years ago...except two years ago it was twice as large.

The greek yogurt I eat everyday went from 8 oz to 6 a couple years ago, and just recently to 5, in the same sized package.

The cup is barely over half full now.

But not inflation, as reduction in package size counts in the calculation.

Quite so! The customary half-gallon of ice cream is now a quart and a half.
