During the recent inflation, companies took steps to reduce the cost of their products to prevent jacking up the prices even more than they did. That includes changes in packaging, package size (shrinkflation), and even changing the ingredients. And the person to blame for this is YOU... not you individually, but YOU collectively.

Companies spend a great deal of money trying to determine what drives your purchase decision and for many consumers, it is price.

I don' t experience that as much as most people, because I am less price sensitive. Instead, I tend to buy premium products (like organic vegetables) where instead of tweaks to the product, inflation translates directly into the price.

Personally, I wish consumers would begin to value service more. Good service costs money, but most companies have abandoned service because consumers don't want to pay for it.

Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Now if you want to get pissed about something, it should be the fact, that inflation tends to create the result that you are complaining about... but once the inflation subsides, companies often fail to restore their product's past packaging, size, quality, etc. and instead harvest the incremental profit on the premise that people have gotten used to the "cheaper product".

Secondarily, get angry at your politicians for creating the backdrop that creates inflation. Policies matter... and at the end of the day, consumers pay for policies... not corporations.
