Deflation. That's not the same thing as this, though. Deflation is where money becomes worth more in terms of buying power.

Which in turn means you can buy less product for the same amount of money? Which is exactly what this is?

Shrinkflation means getting less product for the same amount of money, which is inflation. It specifically refers to brands reducing portions (e.g. reducing 12 oz soda to 11.2 oz, or 16 oz chip bags to 14 oz) but charging the same amount.
