I just got a package of pecan pieces and when I brought it home and put it next to one I bought last fall, the new one was 6 ounces and the old one was 9 ounces!! And both the same price!! That is quite a difference.
Some coffee cans are now down to 11 ounces. You can still get 1/2 gallons of ice cream, usually the store brand. I was ticked off when I got some name brand (I thought) "ice cream" and it turned out to be "frozen dessert" or some such mess. One of the main ingredients was whey -- bleccchhh! I did get some nice coupons when I complained however.

Maybe if these companies would stop spending millions of dollars on advertising then they could bring the prices down to a reasonable cost. What idiot thinks it is a good idea to spend 10 million to advertise during the super bowl half time and then raise the prices.

and how about mayo? they cut it to 30 oz instead of the 32 oz it has always been, but still charged the same price. since then it has gone up and up. about double the price now. are those golden yolks made of real gold?

Speaking of more is less and cost more... I use to buy the "brand" name dishwashing detergent = cost $8.... well, I have started rinsing (washing all food off) and switch to store brand that cost $2.50.... I only fill ONE cup and run on NORMAL cycle...
Several advantages
1. Less cost of soap
2. Less use of energy/water
3. My dishes do not have that soap etching on them anymore because of excess soap.... I like my glasses to be clear not cloudy.

They did send me several 55 cent coupons off for my future purchases.
