Safeway is helping me with my portion control

[cyrano]

I've been buying the little eight ounce individual yogurt containers for breakfast, and probably will continue to do so. Apparently, instead of raising the price of each one 25%, they're moving to reduce the size of each one 25%. For all I know, it's still a bargain, but I'm feeling pretty ripped off.

In other news, last night I made Churry. There's beans and diced tomatoes and meat, and curry paste and coconut milk. So chili-curry.

All the major brands went to 6 oz several years ago. I was pretty irritated then, too, as I was eating Dannon every day for breakfast at the time.

Also see my rant on ice cream downsizing a month or two back.

I want to come to your house for dinner. Churry sounds nummy.

I am still nursing a grudge from when they transitioned to foil lids, instead of plastic ones that enable you to re-use the containers as tupperware.

I saw some 4 oz. yogurts at Grocery Outlet the other day. WTF.

Post Cereal did this a while back, too. They reduced the box sizes by more than their price cuts, so you're paying more for less.

Ultimately this is a Good Thing ... but it's still a bit sneaky.
