Shrinkflation: Smaller Packs, Same Price
Shrinkflation is not a headline price increase; packs get smaller or contents change. Total price hides it, so calculate price per 100 g or compare the old pack size to see the real increase.
Read net weight, not just 'family size'.
Calculate price per 100 g/ml.
Compare old sizes/ingredient lists.
Switch brands/sizes; do not pay for packaging.
Check unit price and shelf life before stocking up.
FAQ
