      I remember Milo 3 in 1 used to have 18 sticks/sachets per pack. Now they’re only 16 sticks per pack. Shrinkflation is real

      I prefer Milo Gao Siew Dai (less sugar) but it only contains 13 sticks per pack!
      I wish our local supermarkets would be required to state per unit pricing. That will reveal inflation/shrinkflation more clearly.

        I usually calculate for a comparison among similar pdts.

          I do that too. But unit pricing will help us notice when an item the price and packaging size remains unchanged but the quantity has reduced!

              There is a brand of granola bars where, over the past few months, first the no. of bars in the box was reduced, and I am sure the size of the bars has shrunk too. But the box has remained the same size. The price is about the same.

                Thanks, @chenlaoshi !

                I’ve got my 3 extra $4 tickets 😊 Wonder if I can use them all at once or must I again split up my purchases?

                      Sigh… the underlying truth in life is that EVERYTHING will be more expensive over time.
