    My groceries are up 10-20% too, just like everyone else’s.

    I wish! I’ve had to stop buying several staple foods because prices went up 35-70% in some cases.

    And to add insult to injury, packages got smaller, so I’d have to buy double to feed the same number of people (and pay more per package!).

    Not only do I think that grocery stores should be forced to refund “excessive profits”, but they should be heavily fined and someone up top should spend time in jail for stealing from the public.

    EDIT: spelling

      I am curious, what has halved in size that would require you to buy double?

      I have not noticed near that extent of shrinkflation.

        Half the size might be a bit of a stretch, but shrinkflation is definitely reaching bullshit territory. OP isn’t wrong on that.

        I didn’t say packages were HALVED, but for me to feed the same number of people (three adults), I can’t get away with buying a single package (i.e. pasta) without everyone eating less or without being able to make leftovers for the next day. So, I’d have to buy two packages (double the price) instead of one.
