My favorite shrinkflation is Campbell's soup, particularly their low-sodium offerings. Costs twice as much, comes in a slightly smaller can, and isn't condensed. So you pay five times as much for them to just not put so much fucking salt into their soup in the first place.

    Making soups has become a really fulfilling one of my cooking challenges I set myself. Tinkering with veg soup and getting slightly different variations each time has been a journey. Extra bonus is there’s always tons so there is always some in the freezer for days I cannot be bothered.

    Even just regular cream cheese. It's $8 for a 12 oz. tub of Philadelphia brand but $1.50 for an 8 oz foil-wrapped blocked of the generic. For years now I've been buying the generic blocks and packing them into old Philadelphia tubs because my parents insist on the name brand. They've never said a word about it.

    I'm sure you could make your own whipped cream cheese with a food processor.
