What’s up With Ice Cream Tub Sizes?
I know we have all noticed that grocery prices are going up… Well, have you also noticed that package sizes are getting smaller? The other day I sent my hubby to the store to pick up a few things. Breyers ice-cream was on sale (which is our preferred brand) so I asked him to pick up a couple tubs. Well, when he go home I discovered they are now 1 1/2 quarts instead of 2 quarts! (so the sale was the normal 2 quart sale price, but we got less ice-cream) That drives me crazy! Anyone else notice package sizes changing on other products?

package sizes changing- ahh, the way to not raise prices, just cut the size of the package!!
m&m’s used to be a 16 oz bag, now the “regular” bag is 14 oz.
spaghetti sauce used to be a 32 oz jar, then it went to 30, then 28, now i think it’s down to 26…..
ice cream, of course….
older recipes call for a 9 oz tub of cool whip, now they are 8 oz size.
