Although I do have and use a scale often when baking, recipes from years ago, and even some more recent, call for 500 grams of this or that….and that is the size of bag we used to be able to purchase, but now the bag size has diminished to perhaps 375 grams….. ugh! Actually those were the exact changes on our bacon packages, I used to make one package of bacon wrapped stuffing balls and it filled the plate. Ah well….keeping us seniors on our toes! My kidlet doesn’t even notice ….they buy their stuff already made up 😀
