    Yep, I came across some more of those incredible shrinking packaging...

    at the 99 Cents Only Store.  Shasta soda is no longer 3 litres, but now 2 1/2 and that 6 pack of soda is now a 4 pack. 

    On a positive note, I did find 16 ounce packages of pasta and 28 ounce cans of Hunts whole tomatoes w/basil for $ .99 ea.  Also 3 dish cloths and 16 peat pots for $ .99.  Those were good finds.  Lately all I have been able to find is smaller packages of pasta there.

    What new shrinking packages have you come across?

    I found a 5.5 oz can of tuna (rather than the usual 6 oz cans).

     Dry cat food. I used to get 18 pounds for $12.00. Now; it is $16 for 16 pounds.

    The canned food, while still the same size, has gone in a year or two from 3 for $1.00 to 50c each.
