Shrinkflation is out of control
Shrinkflation is out of control
Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these "three packs" of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.
This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

Over what time period, though? We'd need to know when the 255g for $10 price was introduced. If the price and weight have been unchanged for a few years, this could even be below the rate of inflation.
Absolutely agree with you.
It's anecdotal, but I think this product was only introduced a little over a year ago in the supermarket that I shop. I don't remember seeing this $10 "value pack" prior to this, and I pick one up usually every 4-5weeks consistently.
