Here's a couple examples making me crazy lately; Centrum vitamins recently had a commercial that said' Now smaller, and easier to swallow!' that means less vitamin, more price...
16 oz jar of Walmart salsa cost 1.86 2 months ago. Last week, I see they changed the shape of the jar.and it's 14 oz..oh yeah, the price went up to 2.54... My hair spray, Suave... 12 oz pump bottle 6 months ago,.97 ( last time I bought it) this last month , again, changed the shape of the bottle, now it's 10 oz. and price went up to 1.47. arrrgggh!
One thing I will always be grateful for is that a yard is a yard is a yard! They can't make that smaller and charge us the same. But, they still can end up charging us more for those yards. I have found though, that the price for fabric has stayed pretty stable. Is that the case everywhere?
