No, if price goes down accordingly.
- throwup238 1mo agoHas anyone done the inflation adjusted math per gram, accounting for less cocoa or whatever? Viral stories generally don’t come with any maths at all.

- throwup238 1mo agoThat’s measuring price discrimination on an impulse buy. You have to compare wholesale prices for any kind of shrinkflation comparison across one product. $7 sounds like what I’d pay at my neighborhood liquor store, not Walmart or Costco.
- asdff 1mo agoI agree $7 sounds steep but go ahead and look at the grocery store and be as shocked as I was. They are stamped this way from the factory. I was shocked.
- throwup238 1mo agoI’m in LA in a very high CoL area and my nearest Walmart has a 13oz Lays family sized bag for $4.77. I see $5.99 at the local high-ish end grocery store. Both on Instacart. My favorite Mexican grocery store afew miles way has 8oz bags on their weekly ad right now for $2.33 a bag if you buy 3, so that’s $6.99 for 24oz instead of 13oz. I believe you, but like I said, you’re complaining about price discrimination not shrinkflation. Either due to regional cultural differences or because your grocery store has so little competition they can charge a lot more, or you’re going to an expensive store out of habit or convenience (which is why my local grocery store can charge $5.99).
