A 32 ounce bottle of Hellmann's Mayo has dropped down to...

30 ounces. I saw this at the grocery store today. The bottle in my refrigerator is 32 ounces.

That is stealth inflation folks.

Get less, pay more................that's the American way.

Sadly, it's not just the American way, Wasabi... happens here too!

In stealth inflation at a grocery store the price of the product stays at the same price, but you get less of a product.

Stealth inflation occurs on a phone bill when they add on an extra fee or raise a fee hoping that you do not see the increase.

kleenex, did you know there is a tax on our phones that dates back to the Spanish-American war?

Everything went up in price. Olive oil I used to buy is now 18 bucks, used to be $14, mineral water used to be 2 (6 pack) for $3.00, now it's on "Sale" for $2.09 for one pack, and list goes on. The only thing that doesn't go up is salary.

Good catch, Kleenex!

that's what I thought when I read this...
mostly it's easier to do it that way.. just change the package and hope nobody notices....

A 30-32 oz jar of mayo would last me an eternity. More importantly, why did the Hershey bar shrink and cost more!

Tex, I was so engrossed in the National Enquirer, couldn't help myself.

Really, over time, seems like those Hershey bars got smaller & smaller.

I think all the candy bars got smaller, or maybe, it's because I got bigger
