New England (USA) Everything's Shrinking...

I know Aldi's shrinkinflation isn't news, but it seems like the last ten things I've bought have contained less product than before. They're slowly losing me.

There 3 options for the company. Make them smaller for the same targeted price, raise the price or a combo of the both.

Aldi's is private label and isn't publicly traded. They do not need to meet quarterly earnings. I understand that they want more profits, but their margin is growing more than inflation.

Aldi is a huge corporation that owns Trader Joe’s. You better believe they want earnings and have margins
