Hefty bag quantity gets the heave ho,

Don’t you just love it when the manufacture puts out a lower quantity box when the higher quantity is STILL on the shelf! Makes for an easy photo opportunity. so yes people, yhour groceries are shrinking while the prices keep rising! The older box had 40 bags, the newer box has only 34! That’s 6 bags missing! egads!
Kleenex Tissue Downsized!
Kleenex has downsized their individual tissues sizes

It use to be 8.4 by 8.4 now it’s 8.2 by 8.4 inches
Same thing on the 184 tssues:

Of course Kleenex’ talking heads have this to say:
In recent months, we have been faced with escalating prices for pulp and rapidly changing energy costs. Similar to other manufacturers, we cannot absorb these increased costs indefinitely without making an adjustment. While one of our competitors recently increased their price by six percent, we chose to maintain our existing price but decreased the number of sheets in some cartons. This direction allows us to offer lower promotional prices.
Also, we recently adjusted the sheet to a size equal to other tissues currently on the market, standardizing the sheet size in the facial tissue category. –Kimberly-Clark Customer Service
Girl Scout Cookies Gets Shrunk
It sounds like the Girl Scout Cookies are going to be smaller boxes this year *pouty face*. The official spokesperson says that the cost of the basic ingredients went up 30% this past year. That is the reason for the smaller boxes. *even bigger pouty face*
Dawn loses an ounce!

Dawn shrinks an ounce, yet still looks the same with this new packaging. Interesting isn’t it? Grocery Shrinkage is still around.
