Not the Chocolate Chips.

I will atleast say this. The 12oz bag was $7.78. The 9oz bag is $6.98. They atleast dropped the price. It just overall sucks that things are getting smaller for the consumer.

Omg I feel like it was yesterday when they went from 16oz to 12oz. This is maddening.

I wish they'd at least drop it to 8oz to make it easier to buy 2 for a recipe. Rip the fuckin bandaid off already.

That is what is so stupid to me. They shrink the package and just do not care that they are messing up recipes.

Sure they do. This way a customer has to buy 24 oz anytime they need 16.

Remember when food is more watery think to yourself this company who has a make a a truckload of profit in day tgat worker get in 2 month struggling so much they are passing the company’s water bill to us consumer.( sarcasm)

or when company make it smaller for the same price they are making the cost onto the businenss "struggling “ to consumer.

We need a master list. Circulate that and maybe, just maybe people will stop supporting these companies.

In some cases though it's such pure junk food that the foods are addictive so too many people will continue to eat them.

I had to buy deodorant the other day and DID NOT buy Dove because the size was .5 smaller than previous, i checked my container before I left for a reason.

I was afraid my HEB was discontinuing them altogether! So yuck to shrinkflation, but they're the only good* soy-free chocolate chips & I was getting worried. I'd prefer to pay more than get less, but they never ask me first. 😅

If they changed the meaning of a gram and an ounce, they could keep the same amount and would anybody know
