Shrinkflation is out of control

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%?

Exactly.

A little bit of prepackaged smoked salmon is not exactly a giant splurge.

Agreed. That dudes argument gives me avocado toast vibes.

LOL! Sometimes the avocados are on sale and we get more than we need. So, I decided to try this avocado toast thing everyone was talking about.

It is good stuff!

It's just the cost of a banana!

For all we know this is their luxury buy of the month.
