Smaller Size for the Same Price

Have you noticed that your box of cereal isn't lasting as long as it used to? Running out of things just a few days sooner that you did a few months ago? Wanna know why?

Companies are now putting less in the package while charging the same price. This is a result of the same problems we're all having - rising gas prices. As transportation costs rise, so do the costs of everything else. Companies are paying more money to make and deliver products, and are being left with two choices: raise prices or put less in packages to offset their cost. If gas prices continue to rise, however, they will inevitably have to raise the prices for us.

It's a no win situation for all of us. We can only hope that a solution is found soon before things get worse.
