No, not me, although I'm about 15 pounds above my ideal weight. I'm talking about our food. Our particular brand of saltines have lost about 5 crackers per sleeve. Now, the box is the same size, but there's a big gap in the top of the sleeve of crackers. Our graham crackers have slimmed down about a half an inch. There are less cookies in the packages of Girl Scout cookies. I don't mind paying a few cents more for the same amount so I wish they'd raise their prices instead. I feel deceived by these manufacturers. That's a worse feeling to me. I'm one of those customers with quite a bit of brand loyalty but I'm feeling quite deceived so I may switch.

Yep – I’ve noticed the same in some of my favorite brands of ice cream, orange juice… and definitely noticed that the thin mints were way smaller! 😉

I’ve been noticing this too.
I will, however, challenge you on your claim to be 15lbs overweight. There is no. way. If you think this is overweight, your former ideal weight MUST have actually been underweight. I see you at least once a week. I’m not making this up.LikeLike

I’m with you, KC….My latest gripe is the size of the “family size” Frito Lay products…the bags are a lot smaller than they used to be…:(

You know I was just talking about this with my extended family at a family birthday party this weekend. The little cakes my SIL bought for my nephews had no icing between the layers. We all joked that it was that bakery’s way of cutting back costs (though it make cutting the cakes very hard because they just fell apart.) But we all agreed that lost of things are coming with less in the same packaging.
You look great by the way!LikeLike

I noticed this in our ice cream. A half gallon is now reduced by 25% in the popular brands. I started making my own in protest. I too am trying to lose a few pounds even though I’m in normal range. Diabetes runs in my family so I’m trying to get rid of the fat around my middle, mostly. I hope you reach your goal.
