The cheese recession
I noticed Cracker Barrel is on sale at Zehrs this week, so I stocked up again.
But, in the flyer, it said "500g bars". "That can't be right," I thought to myself. "It's probably a typo, supposed to be 200g bars or something."
The flyer was correct. The large bars of cheese are now 500 grams. Funny, the cheese bars from the last sale (still in my fridge!) are 540 grams.
Since I am the kind of lame person who takes photos of cheese, here you are:
The above photo proves I'm not crazy. Cheese bars are getting smaller in size. I swear the same bars used to be 600 grams, in my youth. Soon enough, Cracker Barrel will be selling us individual slices of cheese, and we'll be happy when they go on sale at $4.99 a pop.
The same size recession thing is happening with potato chips.
