Shrinkflation is out of control

NarrativeBear@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 869 points –

Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these "three packs" of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.

This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

What war?

the one in Ukraine

Yeah, my grocer has been sold out of Ukrainian Salmon for months, only kind they've had in stock is Hungarian Salmon and that's got way too much paprika on it plus I'm pretty sure it's actually some random lake fish they dyed pink.
