Food manufacturers and grocery stores have found another way to keep things affordable. Keep the prices the same or only modestly and lower the size of the food. We had an old tuna can and noticed that they lowered the size from 6 to 5 ounces. I noticed that all brands have done this. By the way, the price went up a bit, and they lowered the size by 20%. Want more examples? Look around at the store. Things have gone from 12->10, 16->, and so on. Even more reason to play the coupon and deal game at the stores. We get 5 flyers every week and need to pick the 1 or 2 stores with the best deals. Thats the way it is.
