Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these "three packs" of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.
This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?
I want to say this is one of the more obtuse examples of shrinkflation. A lot of it is simply to allow a product, usually something by weight like cereal (where you're not getting x individual pieces), to completely sell out, only to be replaced with one with nominally fewer grams of product while maintaining price. Usually with a 2-3 week gap between the old product and new. Usually it will come back with a redesigned box or something or new "eco" packaging that helps to distract from the fact that they just performed a 10%+ moneygrab on your lucky charms. Most people are content to just be able to buy the product again, and since it's been completely sold out with no product to compare with, there's less of a chance anyone is going to be able to have something to directly compare to when buying the updated product.
If they had instead sold 3x fillets at 200g, I have serious doubts even you would have noticed; but since they moved to larger, but fewer fillets, it's starkly obvious that something happened.
That's why you pass laws making this shit illegal. It clearly isn't going to regulate itself as we've seen and people are already being pushed past the point of no return.
The bread rolls at the supermarket have gotten so comically small that you can't even use them to make a proper sandwich anymore.
Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?
Over what time period, though? We'd need to know when the 255g for $10 price was introduced. If the price and weight have been unchanged for a few years, this could even be below the rate of inflation.
Absolutely agree with you.
It's anecdotal, but I think this product was only introduced a little over a year ago in the supermarket that I shop. I don't remember seeing this $10 "value pack" prior to this, and I pick one up usually every 4-5weeks consistently.
I always check price/weight, and its increase has been ridiculous. For ones that don't increase price also taste different, sadly. The best way to detect real value vs. price is look into nutrition tables but I don't have the all database memorized lol so they'll get away with it. :/
There's this fast food fried chicken chain called Raising Canes, used to serve massive strips. Now the price is 50% more expensive and 50% less chicken. They're extremely tiny, never going back again... yet all the zombies who love that place are relentlessly spend their money there anyway.
Tried them once, succumbing to the hype, they didn't taste like anything at all
I’d have more sympathy if this was something like peanut butter or eggs instead of smoked wild salmon.
2 for the price of 3 is a whopping FIFTY% increase my dude, no frills feeling a lot more like Loblaws atm
I guess we're all going vegan at this point
Look closer. It went from 255g to 200g.
going vegan at this point
Eating vegan is even more expensive.
If you want to save money, go fruitarian. /s
every day I think breatharians are a little less stupid
Why would it be? I can get tofu and beans cheaper than even the subsidized rates of meat and cheese. If you buy processed vegan products, perhaps.
