PS: You can bet your booty that they wouldn’t be saying this if Trump was still President. Of course, this wouldn’t be happening if Trump was still President.
The fact is that this is Biden’s fault. He can lie all he wants about what is happening, but even these guys know the truth. Inflation and rising gas prices existed before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
This is also bad. This is the brand I have been buying lately, and it’s not cheap.
Toilet paper rolls have fewer sheets than they had last year — but prices are not going down.
As major corporations raise their prices on everything from detergent to diapers, consumer watchdogs have spotted that the sizes of products are simultaneously shrinking.
Downsizing is especially prevalent in the paper products category, they say. Think toilet paper and paper towels.
Even Mr. Whipple might agree that there’s a lot less to squeeze these days in a package of Charmin toilet paper, ConsumerWorld.org reports.
The iconic Procter & Gamble brand recently removed scores of sheets from its “Super Mega” and “Mega” rolls, which downsized to 366 double-ply sheets from 396 and to 244 from 264 sheets, respectively, according to the advocacy group.
Over the past 60 years, a single roll of Charmin toilet paper, which started out at 650 single-ply sheets, has shrunk by 90%, the group found.

We use the Kirkland brand and it went from 425 sheets to 380 plus the price went up.
We were buying the Kirkland canned chicken for our fur kid (she likes a little something extra with her kibble) and it has increased by $6 which makes it an increase of a $1 per can. It comes as a 6 pack.
We’re concerned already and we know we haven’t hit the extremes yet. 😳
