So I had to buy two of them to get as much as I used to get with one. Each one of these now cost $12. The total ounces of salmon you see here used to cost $7.

    It’s high time to quit buying any product that ends up this way.

    Also, if you can get them, hemp hearts have better levels of omega-3’s in them than fish.

      But you don’t understand, they were craving this specfic brand and food sustenance and would have literally starved to death and died had they not purchased it.

      This is an example of being poor because of avocado toast.

      If this were a sane world this would be a parody but they are clearly very serious.

      Good luck getting anything from the store then, I haven’t seen much that isn’t hit by both inflation and shrinkflation. And the shrinkflation is directly caused by the inflation as the manufacturer knows people have a spending limit on the product they are selling, so they have to cut into the product to keep below that limit.
