Smaller and smaller packages….

Has anyone besides me noticed that product packages, for food items, are getting smaller and smaller. We are paying more for less food. My yogurt now contains 4 containers instead of 6. My pasta of choice is in the same box but the box weighs significantly less. I find this irritating!

I have been a big fan of Dreamfield’s pasta and have recommended it often, however, I am quite irritated at the manufacturer at the moment. At some point they have changed box sizes from 16 to 13.25 ounces and kept the price the same. This product is already higher priced than most other brands of pasta; I justified the price because of the reduced carbs and comparable taste to regular pasta products, but the sudden reduction from 16 to 13.25 ounces without a drop in price has got me questioning whether I still want to purchase this product.

I just went to Dreamfields’ website to see if they had an announcement on their homepage concerning the change in size and they didn’t; in my opinion a change of this magnitude deserves some mention on their homepage. The company sent no announcement of the size change via email (I am on their mailing list). I think the consumer at least deserves an explanation. Not doing so is bad customer service and there is something about it that seems sneaky to me.
