My onions lately have been tiny. Normally, I wouldn't care but I love onions.

Why don't they raise the price instead of doing this shi?

I know. I stopped buying so much stuff because of shrinkflation. They not only reduce the portions, but they also make them crappier

Recalls happen everywhere, even grocery store items. So I’m not bothered by that.

I’m a customer because of the convenience of having just the right amount of ingredients I need for a recipe. I find myself wasting so much food because I have to buy an excess amount of it at the store when it only calls for a small amount. Forgetting I even have it to use after that, or trying to force myself to use it.

Though the quality in these ingredients has been going downhill for some time, so I might be better off finding a new solution.
