Next time you go grocery shopping, don’t just compare prices, compare sizes. Did you know, many of the products we have been buying for years have gotten smaller? The price hasn’t changed, but you’re getting less for your money. According to Consumer Reports, manufacturers are slimming their product size. For instance, Breyer’s Ice Cream, went from a 56 ounce package to a 48 ounce package. Tropicana Orange juice was a 96 ounce container, it’s now an 89 ounce container. Kellogg’s Fruit Loops was 19.6 ounces, it’s now just 17 ounces. That’s a 14% decrease! You get less in your cans of tuna, as well. The Consumer Reports Research Center found 71 percent said the main reason for downsizing was to hide price hikes from consumers. They want to make more, you don’t want to pay more…you pay the same, they give you less.
