Consumers always notice when the price of something rises. But what about when the price stays the same – and the portions shrink?
Up and down grocery store aisles, customers are noticing everything from smaller loaves of bread, to jars of mustard, even smaller rolls of toilet paper.
Consumer Reports says it's easier for companies to downsize their products, and less likely to aggravate the customers. Manufacturers may do this to avoid raising ticket prices, but customers are still paying more for less.
CTV Saskatoon wants to know if you have an example of products that have been downsized. Send us your shopping stories and pictures to cfqcnews@ctv.ca , and we'll air some of your examples over the next few days.
