They Quietly Made These 10 Products Worse (And Kept the Price)

📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ Pull a roll of toilet paper off the holder and look at the gap on either side. That gap didn't used to be there. Same brand, same price, and the roll's half an inch narrower than when you bought the house. Nobody sent a letter. The price stays put while what's inside gets smaller or cheaper or thinner, and they bet you won't notice in the aisle with a cart and two kids. Our grandmothers would have caught it, because they read the back. In this one I'll walk you through 10 products they quietly made worse and kept the price on, and what I do about each: 🧻 Toilet paper, sugar and coffee: the rolls, bags and "puffier" grounds that shrank while the package stayed the same 🥓 Bacon sliced thinner and chicken pumped with "up to 15% solution" 🍫 Ice cream that's now "frozen dairy dessert" and chocolate that can't call itself chocolate 🧼 Dishwasher soap without its workhorse, and the one-sided mattress that's half a mattress …and number one, the one that isn't six dollars but eight hundred. It's a price hike in a disguise, and the disguise only works if you don't read the back. Turn it over, do the math, and keep your money right where it belongs.
