Of course I've noticed. Just about everything is coming in smaller packages! Sugar in 4 lb bags instead of 5 lb bags. Cereals are 11-12 oz boxes instead of 15-18 oz boxes. Cheese slices and lunchmeats in 12 oz packages instead of 16 oz packages.....
Tuna used to be available 3 cans for $1. Then it was 2 cans for $1. Then it was 65 cents per can. I was in Walmart last week and noticed an endcap display with canned tuna. The large sign above it said PRICE ROLLBACK. Was $1.08 NOW- 78 cents!!
Something is definitely wrong there.......
