🚨Oh, look! The latest economic strategy: create a shortage, pretend it's a genius move, and watch everyone suffer! 😱 Who knew "greedflation" could be this exciting? 🙄 But hey, at least credit card companies are living their best lives. 💳💸

Caught some #shrinkflation in action from #BettyCrocker / #GeneralMills at #Kroger.
I bought what I thought were 2 identical boxes of brownie mix. Nominally the same product, and they're the same price, but one box (expires in 2024) contains 19.9 oz of mix, while the other (expires in 2025) only contains 16.3 oz.
That's nearly 20% less product for the same price. And the instructions call for the same amount of eggs and oil, so you end up with shittier brownies.
