      That's what happens when the government uses the monetary printing press as means to fund their promises and programs. The dollar died in 1971 when Nixon finally severed its tie to gold. At that moment on, government could tax citizens indirectly by debasing the currency through inflation. This rolls down the hill, finally resting on the backs of the common (no-asset holding) person. We blame companies for being greedy; however, they are responding naturally to maintain shareholder value. The government is getting off scot-free and continuing to wreck the economy and people's lives through this hidden tax--all to fund nonsense programs and export funding to warlords, wars, and other governments.

    Let's call this out for exactly what it is. It's DISHONEST. There's no difference between doing this and putting the price up except that it's a deliberate attempt to mislead customers. When the contents is reduced, or ingredients changed, companies should be obliged by law to display the fact very prominently on the packaging.

      Shrinkflation has been going on for years. My liquid detergent used to be 5 litres, then 5 kg. It got progressively smaller through the years until 3.5kg now with pack price also having increased. Actual unit price far exceeds compounded official government inflation rates. As a result, I changed to a different brand that is better but cheaper.
      I wonder how much wsj got paid by those shrinkflatiors to potray them as innocently reacting to costs pressures. Those shrinkflating companies should look into how much they waste on advertising & marketing (bullshitting activities that do not give consumers value). I also wonder how much wsj was paid to not mention consumers turning to lower price alternative brands.

      Jesus Christ. Corporations love comments like this.

It's the ENTIRE corrupt political system built by both parties. We don't have a democracy or socialism, in America we have CORPORATISM. They get away with whatever they want: Raising prices, subscription based models. Tier based services and goods just to charge more. Shrinkflation. And from the workforce side? Mediocre salaries and wages that have become stagnant since the 80s. Outsourcing American jobs, cutting pensions and benefits from their loyal employees all to make more and more that they end up using in stock buybacks, you name it. Every greedy tactic under the sun. All because corruption is legal in the USA, where lobbyism is legal. No other 1st world country would accept such as disgusting and corrupt system. They own politicians from BOTH SIDES who have helped in the de- regulation process, and now they can literally get away with anything. To make it even better the vast majority of Americans blames the other political side, while mega corporations enrich themselves by screwing us more and more with each passing day.

    If you stop buying all that expensive, processed junk food, you will have more money to buy better quality food such as sirloin steaks, shrimp, real butter, whole grain pasta, non-starchy vegetables and whole fruit. Compare the price per ounce of Doritos to the price per ounce of filet mignon and see for yourself. Ditch the expensive junk food and feed your body well with minimally processed whole foods. You can become leaner and healthier if you avoid consuming all those sugary, starchy, low fiber, low vitamin, junk foods.

    "Price Pack Architecture" sounds so sophisticated, Im sure they have some real architects working on those prices over there. High IQ Field for sure

      PPA is just another example of the nonsense used by lousy companies that sell junk with expensive advertising, marketing & promotion instead of giving consumers real tangible quality & quantity.

    Commodity prices continue to fall, so company costs are also down. Companies are just price gouging to increase profits since everyone believes there is inflation anyway, even though there isnt.

      Companies are wasting more than ever on marketing. There used to only word of mouth, then print, then radio, then tv and these days celebrity endorsements & influencers. None of these add real quality or quantity to the products nor any real value for the consumers.

    They’ve been doing this for years…. Something that used to feed a family of 6 can only feed a family of 4, and so on. Instead of being transparent they trick the consumers and we just take it because what can we do?

      You can do nothing, just as most consumers consume, and no consumer actually produces anything themselves, you're along for the ride because you've given up the steering wheel for a grocery cart.
