They've been shrinking the T.P. and the paper towel rolls for several years as well. I've noticed the same with O.J., laundry detergents and bleach, etc.

Nickle and diming bastards.

Dog food used to be in 20 lb bags, they are 17.5 or 15 now.

Found that out about a month ago Tony. Was walking around waiting for the daughter to finish her drivers ed class and walked into Pet Supplies to see what the prices were now. I noticed the bags had shrunk.

They've been doing it for years to all sorts of products, but I hadn't had a can of Tuna in quite a while and the difference between the newer 5 oz can and the old 6 oz was noticeable.

20lb bags of Kingsford Charcoal are 16lbs (unless you buy the tow pack at Sam's) and a lb of coffee hasn't been a lb for years.
