Sometimes companies get really creative (and greedy!) by increasing their prices AND shrinking their portions. Doing both just a little achieves the same effect as doing one more noticeably without tipping off the customer that something is amiss.
Haha i complained a few times about a food company that did that. Raised their prices 4 times in the last year alone, and shrunk their boxes down crazily. Big rip off
@@MrWaheedulHaqueits called tickling the nuts. The company is trying to shit on customers and see how much they can tolerate being ripped off and get away with it.
I learned about shrinkflation in a marketing management class. The idea is that consumers will notice a change in price faster than they knows a change in packaging size, so things got smaller.
Oh, believe me. I noticed that Kinder Bueno is getting smaller and smaller. I also noticed that Kinder Bueno white is much smaller than the brown one. 🤬😡
In the last 2 years, food , gas, labor has risen at least 25 percent across the board. Some businesses already running on thin margins. Couple that with the Fed raising rates. Things are not going well
So, companies are only now greedy? Before they were happy to leave profits on the table just to serve the community, but NOW they only care about money?
I work in construction and I’ve noticed a reduced quality in some plumbing material that we used to buy before, and never gave any problem, but now, too many pieces have broken. NOT COOL. I’d rather have paid more for pieces than have water damage headaches!
Skimp-flation happened to the cat food I buy for my cat. It used to have no by-products or other crappy ingredients, and then sometime a while ago I checked the label again and it has by-products.
I've noticed this. Started to feel awful so I had to reexamine labels again. Some foods I could eat before now have cheaper ingredients in them that I cannot tolerate. So sad.
Yes it's called planned obsolescence by most people. But it's just mainly that those things are made like crap out of cheap material, so they break easier.
@@TinaNewtonArtPlanned obsolescence is related, but it's not the same thing. Planned obsolescence is usually limited to technology; it's making something in a specific way so that it'll break after a certain age or amount of use, so that consumers are forced to buy a new product rather than making repairs on the old one. Skimpflation is much broader, as they say in the video. It can refer to any product or service, including cheaper ingredients in food or less service in a restaurant (self-serve). Those have nothing to do with a thing going "obsolete", so it's not "planned obsolescence".
The chinese restaurant by my job did both shrinkflation and inflation. I used to order the 6 piece honey chicken wing meal. One day I went in and ordered the same thing. I noticed the price went up by 1 dollar, but I wasn't surprised by that since it seems to be a yearly practice with them, but this time I received 5 pieces. I asked if this was a mistake and they said no. They updated their menu. I stopped going back. It's one thing to inflate, but to take away the amount while also inflating the price is f'd up. New customers obviously won't know the difference.
Everyone's health is a risk here, especially children, animals and the frail. I have so many food issues due to high histamine, chemical sensitivity (to smell) and allergies. I have lost many safe products these past 2 years due to changes in the recipes, suddenly I couldn't stand eating them. Same for smell in the ant spray we used to buy: old formula has no smell, the new one makes me literally choke on the fumes. Even our cat food made both our cats very sick, no mention of changed ingredients on the label but they are allergic to fish and yet they got sick for 2 weeks until we realized it was the food. Beware!
I remember my first encounter with shrinkflation awareness happening in the mid 90s. I always remember coffee coming in coffee cans by the pound growing up. Then suddenly I noticed that coffee was 12 ounces! Almost all of them too, except the generic brand, which still was selling 16 ounce containers.
Ahh yes the Federal Reserve. Neither federal nor a reserve but a private corporation that prints money out of thin air and lends to the U.S. with interest which can never be paid back - therefore inflation/shrinkflation/skimpflation.
Here in my country those food sellers ( restaurant / stall owners) are practicing shinkflation and inflation at the same time in the name of price has increased, we are also the victims.
Definitely was aware of shrinkflation. But wasn’t aware of skimpflation. I’ve been trying to lean towards less processed food. This is a pro for that case I guess lol.
The one thing i really learned in marketing classes: Never forget that at its core it is persuasive communication, pushing you to buy a product instead of another. There is no use to trusting brands in a cheap, low-involvement segment like food or hygiene. Usually shrinkflation is achieved by brands with high market penetration, where not enough people notice and stop buying, thus increased profits make up for the loss in customers.
I don’t think all companies are greedy. They have bills, mortgage, overhead, insurance, employees, workers compensation, utilities, and more. With the inflation caused by the feds. They have to find ways to tighten their belts. People get mad when they can’t have what they want for the same price. It’s no wonder they try to hide it. Inflation affects us all. Everyone has to realize we are in this together and we need to help each other not complain.
I am glad that my favourite bakery increased their prices and still kept using their recipe since I knew about them as a kid. A day old out from their ovens still tasted good, unlike others' that is hard and stale even just less than a day after baking. Edit to add: They are now considered "luxury" bakery.
The "other ingriendents" is downright terrorfying. Also other countries have banned a lot of the crap that corporations are allowed to add into the food supply.
I've worked in the Industrial Food Complex for nearly 20 years In that time I've watched a mid sized bottle of Tropicana shrink from 2L to 1.89L to 1.54L I used to joke "How much farther can it go before what used to be 2L just becomes 1L?" They keep changing the shape of the bottle too to make the changes more subtle to the consumer Shrinkflation happens to ALL the packaged products The best way to combat this is limiting our consumption of these processed goods Eating half a navel orange and drinking a glass of water is much better for you that drinking a processed, overpriced beverage
I used to always get a seven layer burrito at taco bell, each year it got smaller until they just took it off he menu. Literally got to small to be sellable 😢
In the UK Skimpflation and Shrinkflation happen too. However, with the shrinkflation some companies still increase the price whilst the customer gets less for the price increase.
We the ppl need to go back to growing our foods and limit the times we go to the groceries. (4) items in the cart cost (30/40) bucks. The struggle is real 😢
Was literally just complaining about how AngelSoft toilet paper has gotten thinner than when I last bought it 3 WEEKS AGO. And I only bought it because Great Value brand now costs more than name brand #help lol 🥴
Yep. Famous Amos cookies have less chocolate chips in them than 20 years ago. I was wondering why no one I know eats them anymore until I picked up a pack for nostalgia's sake last week
oh you got it just in between they chaging it. now i recomend you to take photos of the packages of things you normally buy, so when you think it shrink you can actually tell
Oof, generic costing more than name brand is just evil. They're counting on the assumption that generic is always cheaper, because most people won't check. Yikes.
The only problem is both of these things happened plus the price is going up. So all three of these things are happy at once we're getting less food. They're switching out the food that we are eating with cheaper stuff and they're still raising the price
But they are raising the cost and shrinking the size. Even toilet paper is a fraction of the size it was a year ago. I found an old pack and was shocked!
I rather have normal inflation than Shrinkflation anyday of the week. The problem arise when noone realize the difference then these companies start making their shrinked product the norm. Lets just say the price stabilized, well if noone notice it, why return the amount to the pre-crisis level?
These QR codes at tables started out as a good idea, but ive notice at a few places the site doesnt load, also just trusting random website with credentials isnt worth it to save you from getting up. I dont believe every restaraunt would be trying to scam their customers, but its the 3rd party company they're using which is the risk
End the federal reserve, restore sound money, and definitely resist Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). This will force fiscal responsibility and create a far more stable economy.
The reality we live in now, is getting less of something that is more expensive, that is made more cheaply, which wears out faster, that necessitates more frequent replacement.
Ok... But lets be clear here.... selling less stuff for the same price is still raising the price. It's not the same price per unit.... Price per ounce (or whatever measure) has now increased. It's just covert inflation.
As a computer network enthusiast I recently discovered a model of a soho home wifi router that got so optimized in terms of hardware that the total performance was terrible and used worst possible sold system on chip on the current market (something that was not considered performant even in mid 2000-s) and memory space of the chips were absolutely crazy (4 MB flash / 32 MB RAM if someone interested), even 10+ years old hardware has many times sometimes more than 10x times more space. They made quite an effort to optimize software to run on this garbage hardware. They even removed the link LEDs of ethernet ports (!), maaaaan, that level of greed is completely mindblowing for me. All that hardware combined must cost them probably just a couple of bucks I think. And the worst part - they sell it with the same name as one of their previous devices, with same outer appearance and case, and the previous device was like twice more performant and had 4 times more memory. If someone doesn’t know how to distinguish this one from their previous version they will pay around 20+ dollars for a garbage that doesn’t cost even a 5. Thank God that US laws make it mandatory for hardware manufacturers to apply for new FCC code every new hardware revision of the device even if a single component had been replaced on the PCB
Blame politicsns and their corporate donors. Our leadership wont do anything cause they benifit from company revenue. So naturally they would want inflation to prop numbers up and rhey would also want shrinkflation its beneficial. For rich people
Hear me out. Maybe if the government didn’t print money like there’s no tomorrow companies wouldn’t have to do this. Blaming the “greedy” companies is idiotic
This all started when the frozen pizzas came with almost half the toppings and they hid it under the box. Now it's spread to everything in the grocery store.
Everything is smaller, worse and more expensive all at the same time. Companies blame politicians, politicians blame companies. Republicans blame democrats, democrats blame republicans. I don’t know who’s at fault, I just know we are all suffering.
I just steal to offset their greed. I still live paycheque to paycheque and corporate CEO gets his new Helicopter, Island, Fleet of Classic Cars and everything else he’s been struggling to purchase.

The quality of food has definitely gone down. Fast food isn’t tasty anymore. Cheaper ingredients, higher prices. It’s not unfair to ask if food can even still be called food when it’s all chemicals and preservatives.
Yeah my lovely noname chips got changed from sunflower to palm oil when russia invaded Ukraine and they didnt even changed the big sunflower on the package they just noted it on the expiration date

@@DDD_TinkerI know what you were going to say….. I’m just going to keep moving on.
