We’re talking everything from slimmed-down toilet paper and fewer cookies in a bag to less conditioner.

Retail industry experts say record levels of inflation are costing companies more to produce all sorts of items, so they can either raise prices or give you less. It’s called “shrinkflation.”

As frustrating as it is for you, just know hiking prices is a last resort for companies because they know you’ll notice and it could hit the demand for their product.
