Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “miscellaneous household products” changed +2.2% (12 months to Sep 2025). The size cut alone raises the price per bag by +12.5% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
