Shoppers Employ Savvy Strategies to Navigate Shrinking Packages and Rising Prices

Shoppers are dealing with shrinkflation - items priced the same but reduced in size/weight - as companies pass on rising costs. Common in packaged and processed foods.

Loyalty programs, apps, flyers can help find deals and reduce grocery bills over time. Collect points for free items.

Use calculators to figure out best unit price and compare deals down to smallest unit. Split items with others.

Dollar stores can have good deals on staples like rice cakes, sometimes better than big chains.

Teach kids to calculate best deals so they can save their own money in the future.
