okay, first: I have NO love for Kroger, but... i hate to say it, but it might be a recipe improvement. Maltodextrin is a filler starch (similar to cornstarch), so it seems like they reduced the amount of that starch and moved the spices up, which are gonna be less dense (which explains the lower weight). So you're getting more spices and salt per tsp (I'd argue a good thing).

I remember when I worked retail there were entire positions dedicated to going around daily to do shelf price changes for items. These companies would raise their prices from one day to another to ensure their profits with no warning or announcements. Yet I had to wait once a year for a $0.10 raise.

Sensadyne toothpaste is another one. Half the tube is now air. Literally half as a conservative measure.

they sell this juice at the grocery store that says "60% less sugar" and advertising it as "hydrating"... it's just mostly water now.

If they shrink the 55gallon gallon contractor bags anymore they will not fit on the 55 gallon cans. I want to file a formal complaint as a caterer struggling to put the damn bags in the cans 😭

I did pricing for like four years in a grocery store. It was happening before Covid, but after, it’s gotten exponentially worse. Before they’d just make it smaller. Now they’re making it smaller AND more expensive.

Why is my garlic salt only 3/4 full not opened!? Shrinkflation of seasonings needs to be complained about more.

Honestly. It seems like they just reduced the amount of filler starch, reducing the total weight. Which is why they decreased the serving size by a gram, since you are actually getting the same amount of spices and less filler for each serving.
