This is the first time in a while I've had to buy sugar, but I was absolutely floored by a HUGE cut in size. Of course customers notice a 20% shrink! And of course the prices haven't done anything except go up. Insane!

4lbs is plenty.

Who needs that much sugar? Nobody.

People who like good food and know how to bake, cook, pickle/preserve...

This neohealth nuttery needs to stop. We get it. You have no skills. It's not a flex.

Since around 2021-2024.

Also smaller since 2021, Campbell's cream soup (10.5 ounces instead of 12 ounces), 2 cup bags of shredded cheese which are now 1.75 cups instead of 2 cups, all chips, cereal, many seasonings, many frozen food items, different pastas...

Many things got smaller over the last 4 years while the prices stayed the same or rose.

Prices of many groceries seem to be going down a tiny bit, fortunately. But I doubt they will go down anywhere near the pre 2021 levels ever again.
