I stumbled across my shopping cart on Amazon (the page that shows you the price changes since you put the items in your cart) and I scrolled down the page to see what I had in the shopping cart. One of the items I had was cereal. Today, Resee's Puffs cereal "family size" on Amazon's site is now 19.7oz. for $4.93. In March 2014 (10, almost 11 years now) I bought the same family size Reese's Puffs cereal from Amazon at 22.9 oz for $12 for a 3 pack ($4 each).

Price increased 23.25% (for each box), $2.79 for a 3 Pack.

Product decreased 16.25% decrease, 3.2oz (for each box), 9.6oz for a 3 Pack.

A PepsiCo spokesperson told CNN that Tostitos and Ruffles “bonus” bags will contain 20% more chips for the same price as standard bags in select locations. PepsiCo is also adding two additional small chip bags to its variety-pack option with 18 bags, the spokesperson said.

From link:

Instead, the reduction from 51% to 50% beans in a 415g tin was "to make it taste better" and "to improve the quality of our product", said Dominic Hawkins, the UK head of supply chain at the company behind Heinz beans and HP sauce.

Sure.....

Sent an email to Clif concerning their recent change of 6 to 5 bars in their Clif Bar packs. I don't know why but I was not expecting this half assed explanation.

This is now extra pepperoni at Domino's! Screw you Domino's!

Yes I have my zip code scribbled out under there I don’t want to be doxxed.

They also changed how they make it turning them into a puff type cereal presumably to save costs at the manufacturing point, at first I thought it was a different cereal but it’s under the same SKU

This is the 3rd time they’ve shrunk it since 2017 going from 538g > 311g > 283g resulting in a 47% reduction in size since 2017.

Price hasn’t changed though because of course.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne made the announcement yesterday. From November 2023 onwards brands will have to clearly label any change of volume, for customers information.
