Package sizes shrinking

Food package sizes are shrinking, which means costs are rising.

A few of the recent changes we've noticed in our household are:

A 525-gram package now for Post's Shredded Wheat.

Bacon down from 500 to 350 grams.

Chocolate milk down from one litre to 750 millilitres.

I am really thankful - NOT! - that the federal government dropped its regulations governing standard package sizes for food.
