I've been fighting shrink-flation for years. I make my own powdered laundry detergent. I have my own washable toilet paper for urine only. I've stopped using paper towels and instead use rags or the end rolls of newspaper originally used for packing when I moved. I haven't purchased a garbage bag in over 10 years. I recycle leaves for my compost pile and save the black leaf bags my neighbors put their leaves in. I also use dog food bags, plastic mulch bags, and other bags as garbage bags. I make certain any bag I use is completely full of garbage before I put it out in the trash. I make my own fertilizer for plants. This won't work for everyone especially busy families with kids, but it works for me. I try to completely eliminate the use of products, when I can, if they have been down-sized.
