It's not inflation raising prices: it's corporate profits. But the average moron can't understand that.

yep. Shrinkflation. it is actually easier for manufactures to change the quantity than the prices "New size!" Really got a keep a close look at the weight in the box, they can vary sometimes as much as an ounce either way

@danalan @Kinnison

It would be remiss to say that inflation didn't cause any of the increases. I'd read a study, I believe a year or two ago, that showed that ~50% of the inflation was due to corporate greed, when it's usually much lower (less than 20%, iirc).

Although it was sorely needed, pumping money into the economy during the pandemic didn't help, neither did the supply chain issues. But it likely wouldn't have gotten to 9% if corporations were reined in.
