    Ice cream: Have you noticed?

    No more half gallons. They are all 1.75 quarts! And the price STILL went up.

    I noticed that my hands were getting bigger and ice cream sandwiches were getting smaller!

    Yeah, noticed that a while ago. I don't have a big problem with companies making smaller packages rather than raising prices. And around here you can still find ice cream on sale for about $2.00 for 1.75 quarts, almost any brand you want is on sale somewhere.

    I like sherbert....The local warehouse grocery sells quarts, 2/3.00.

    Today the price was 4/5.00. It's not bad stuff and compared to the prices of the name brands, really cheap!

    And what used to be an 8-ounce cup of yogurt is now a 6-ounce cup and costs the same amount, if not more

    It ain't just ice cream doing that...

    Aunt recently went to store for a gallon of milk. She noticed her usual brands label looked a bit different and the jug was shaped a bit different too. In looking on the label they were NOT a full gallon of milk, but the price was $.50 higher! She bought a different brand for same price which was a full gallon.

    I used to buy Tide liquid in a 300oz size bottle for anywhere between $16-$20 now I have to pay between $18-$22 for a 150oz bottle!!!

    I could go on all day but it really ticks me off. Bad enough to raise prices, but to downsize the product AND raise prices makes me crazy.
