"soft landing"

After three years of constant inflation and shrinkflation on the majority of products you buy?

- a family size of cookies used to be 17.2oz, its now 14.6oz for the same price

- laundry detergent scent enhancer - 13oz to 10oz and increased in price

- a pack of frozen burritos went from 20 items to 18 for the same price

- baby wipes in a smaller sized package and they increased in price

- OJ went from a half gallon (64oz) to under a half gallon (59oz) for the same price

- many milk manufacturers have trimmed down their half gallon to slightly under a half gallon while keeping the price the same.

- snack crackers like wheat thins went from a pound for a family sized box to 14oz

Color me skeptical. I've seen this movie before it always ends in a painful recession.
