This week we spotlight some of the various products that have been reduced in size — otherwise known as shrinkflation.
| Hershey’s Kisses |
|---|
Snack foods like candy keep getting smaller. Here, Hershey’s Kisses share size have gone from 10 ounces down to just 8.7. I guess everyone will just have to share less.

| Ziploc Freezer Bags |
|---|
Boxes of plastic bags seem to always be shrinking whether they are sandwich bags or storage bags. Here, Ziploc gallon-size freezer bags lost 16 bags in every box.

| Stop & Shop Instant Oatmeal |
|---|
Just like the name brands, store brand products eventually downsize too. Here, boxes of instant oatmeal from Stop & Shop which used to have 10 packets now only have eight.

| Laughing Cow Cheese |
|---|
This popular cheese brand lost 10-percent of its contents. This is why customers are not laughing, but the cow will soon be chuckling all the way to the bank.

| Dixie Ultra Paper Plates |
|---|
Like most paper goods, paper plate packages now have fewer plates than before. Here, Dixie cut five plates from its package of 35.

| Eight O’Clock Coffee |
|---|
Remember when cans of coffee used to be a pound? Those days are long gone. Today, with coffee prices so high, manufacturers are making their largest bags smaller. Eight O’Clock dropped two ounces from their 40-ounce bags. Thanks to Richard G. for this submission.
