There will continue to be an infinite supply of these shrinking examples. Literally every packaged item in your basket needs to be scrutinized every time you shop. The manufacturers know that's just too exhausting for the average shopper; there's no way to beat them at the game.

EXCEPT for the smartest shoppers who purchase by unit pricing. Then scan price or package size doesn't matter, and the procurement process is seamless for those who are price conscious. It really doesn't take long at all to educate yourself on your own " unit price to buy at", and then you avoid all the packaging nonsense.

Notice i said 'packaged' item in your basket, See how easy it is to buy broccoli, or beans or other produce? You got it-- they're unit priced. Like gasoline, which is unit priced, purchase decisions are easy-peasy. That same philosophy can apply to your whole shopping cart! Imagine your freedom when scan price and package size DO NOT MATTER-- save money AND time!
