Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “frozen and freeze dried prepared foods” changed +0.5% (12 months to Dec 2024). The size cut alone raises the price per ounce by +10.3% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
