[OC] Shrinkflation has hit my Breakfast Burrito last year. This is the last 7 years of Saturday breakfast burrito weight from the same restaurant. I have been tracking them in excel. You can see a covid dip between Jan - Aug 2020.YamInternational_Yam t1_j2zghsh wrote

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.
