Shrinkflation is so annoying

Shrinkflation is the practice of reducing the size or quantity of a product while the price of the product remains the same or slightly increases.

Have you noticed this with anything you buy?
Mine are:
Special K cereal - 500g down to 440g
Tiptree marmalade - 454g down to 340g

As well as seeming smaller, the 2 finger Kit Kats, (can’t see the weight, probably too minuscule) which now boast ‘recyclable’, only when you read on the back it says only at the store, not at home.

Rather misleading.
