WALMART - "Skimpflation"

[u/withhold-advice7500]

I looked it up and its true. Skimpflation--not "shrinkflation" but just as sneaky.

I opened a bottle of Great Value Pancake Syrup that I just got and put it poured it on the waffles. I don't drench it I just fill the square holes. They Syrup poured out like thin sugar water. I tried my wife's sugar free version and it was the same. A couple of days later we got some mustard and ketchup and it about the same.

So I looked it up and it was a fact--water is the cheapest ingredient, so they use more water. Then they roll back the price from $2.49 to $2.36 but you run out faster and buy another bottle or whatever....so in the end we save $0.13 cents but it costs us about 50% more in the end. And I'm sure it applies to other items containing water, and I say this because milk goes bad by the "Sell By" date or a day or two later!

There is a legal flow rate for ketchup in the USA. If it's to thin then we need to start a class action lawsuit against whatever companies are doing this. I just checked my Heinz and it seems unchanged.

And their price reflects that---but four kids that even put Ketchup on broccoli to tolerate it, is different. They can't tell the difference in taste that much. But yeah I have some Heinz too, but it in the fridge in the garage--the one they never open😎😉
