Noticing lots of changes in the way things are sold. Recently been seeing apples sold in eaches. Celery by the pound. 

Lots of buy one get one deals on meat and chicken with drastically inflated each prices instead of a per pound price. 

Obviously just a sneaky way to raise prices.

If they've moved to the eaches system, I'm out. OUT.

Eaches get sneaches.

Available on beaches?

Interestingly enough, my auto correct turns beaches into beaches.

It has been a while, but most 1/2 gallon ice creams are now only 1-1/2 quarts. Everything is just a little smaller for higher prices.

It's hit the candy market hard. Good & Plenty is now just Good. Fun size candy bars are now even less fun size.

I’m not sure how the candy industry doesn’t fall apart. Crazy high prices. Kids can’t/don’t make their own money anymore to purchase it and parents should be smart enough not to spend ~$2.50 for a snickers bar.

I noticed this a couple months ago. I made myself a bowl and there was only enough left to make a similar sized bowl. I was shuked.

Will America lose weight with these new packaging units? That could be an unintended benefit.

At least no one who reads the labels is being deceived like with 2 by 4s.

No.
