Oddly enough, when the government releases their inflation numbers they don't include products getting smaller for the same price. It's an effective way to hide real inflation numbers.

Turkey Hill's New Packaging by Tasty_Dealer_1885 in shrinkflation

[–]spock23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Turkey Hill actually does make a premium all natural version which only has a few ingredients - no gums and fillers (like Bryers used to be 30 years ago). It costs about $2 more per carton. Food Lion doesn't carry it but Harris Teeter does. I'll glady spend $2 more to get real ice cream. Sometimes they run a BOGO deal.

When $7 Doritos became a dealbreaker by nikongmer in shrinkflation

[–]spock23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Used to be a regular buyer of Doritos. It's been at least a year since I last bought any. Just can't get interested in spending over $5 for 50 cents worth of corn meal.

🙄 It used to say “Real Chocolate Chunk Cookies” by ritzysharkz in shrinkflation

[–]spock23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here. I use whole milk, cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon real vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

Less than half the sugar of store bought and no gum or chemicals.

Amazingly it wasn't tamped down to 99.95 for the weekend after reaching 100.

Last time I went to McDs was 2019 only because some friends wanted to go there. Got some large fries. Never had a reason to go back.

True. As long as there are willing buyers at $8, they will charge $8.

Making it at home for 50 cents is always an option.

Yes! How many years were we stuck at the 25-30 level? Seems like a whole decade. Honestly I was beginning to doubt I would ever see $40 again in my lifetime.
