Pet Peeves Part 3: Let's Talk Shrinkflation!
Send a text
Join Jennifer and Cam for the third installment of the Pet Peeves series as they tackle the frustrating reality of Shrinkflation. It is the trend nobody asked for: prices continue to climb while portions get smaller by the day. They discuss the items that used to offer value deals but now break the budget, from eight-dollar chocolate chips that barely fill a cup and a half to six-dollar bags of Cheese Pleasers.
The conversation dives into the new warning labels on food and the confusing world of portion sizes. Jennifer and Cam examine why eating healthy has become significantly more expensive than buying junk food, even though both categories feel overpriced lately. They weigh the pros and cons of gardening versus grocery shopping to save money and compare the rising costs of fresh versus frozen fruit.
From holiday candies like Mini Eggs—now priced at two dollars and fifty cents for a tiny pack—to the hidden gems found at the dollar store for food and household essentials, the duo looks for ways to fight back against rising costs. Plus, Cam shares his secret recipe for making the ultimate bowl of Kraft Dinner.
Tune in to join the rant, pick up some savvy shopping tips, and try out Cam’s KD hack. Let us know if his recipe lives up to the hype!
