Store brand potato chips have shrunk to 8.5 ounces and are considered the big bags now. Price was $2.50 per bag when three weeks ago they were 10 ounces for $1.89. At this rate, grocery shopping will only take me ten minutes a week.

Deosn't really bother me as they clearly are not hidig the fact that the package is smaller.Kind of like only a fool would be fooled. I think people have a chocie to not buy if they really want to send a message on the marketing of the product.
