The ever diminishing size of products and higher cost.
Paper towel example: I normally stock up. 2 months ago Target brand paper towels contained 110 paper towels. This week Target brand paper towels contain 98 paper towels. (I don't have a cost comparison).
The package sizes of crackers, cookies, pretzels, chips, etc., have all shrunk.
When you see them slap on a new label it is usually a good indicator that they've shrunk the volume of the product.
I know I'm preaching to the choir -- most of us are blatantly aware of what is going on.
I'm trying to buy as much as I can food wise and stocking up on paper goods, but being on a fixed income now along with higher prices makes it a tad difficult.
