Makes for an easy photo opportunity. so yes people, your 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!

It appears that Gilette raised prices on these razors, then decreased the number in the box! If we do the math, the previous price per unit was $2.75. With the new price and the decreased units its $4.33! Ouch! buying disposable razors might not be worth the price

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
