The 14 and 13 oz. bags have had the "$2 Only" on the bag. Family size used to be 28 oz. I don't know what the current size is.

Hardly worth buying anymore. The manufacturers of our groceries must think we are all blind and can't see what they are doing.

Anything from paper towers, toilet paper, to diapers (check Huggies and Pampers, they have cut the number of diapers in their packs several times the last few years. The funny and sad thing is, the price for these smaller packages I've noticed has gone UP, even though you're getting a few diapers less), lots of food stuffs - candy bars, chips, crackers.. And when some customers DO notice, they get mad at me, or ask why, and I just tell them I just work here.. I have absolutely NO control over why our products change sizes. =\ I work at a local pharmacy, which sells lots of items and I can list dozens of products that have downsized.
