Shrinkflation Exposed: What Big Brands Don’t Want You to Know

Now really.

Really now, really well.

And welcome to really know really, Jason, Alexander and Peter Tilden remind you that your heart will never shrink if you subscribe to our show. And speaking of shrinking, every Seinfeld fan knows what shrinkage is, but in real life, shrinkage is a phenomenon that's happening all around us and it affects everyone all the time. It's when companies secretly sell us less product for the exact same price, or

Really, no really.

Edgar Dwarfski is known as mister Consumer and has been a consumer advocate for over forty five years. He joins Jason and Peter to highlight the selling scams and to explain how many companies have pre did a national, if not global shrink flation. And now here are two guys you always give you less for more, Jason and Peters.

So this episode you've been waiting for this, You've been waiting for this because you I think your favorite episode of Seinfeld was where we kept yelling shrimp shrinkage.

There's shrinkage.

There's lots of shrinkage, and this episode is a lot of shrink in real life shrinkage.

One in three supermarket products have been shrink flated over the last four years, which means less product in the thing in the can.

At the same price.

And then you wonder, also, did the price has ever come back? What happens with you?

I can answer that for you. Yeah, the price has never never come back.

Now also you're you're at such a point now with pushback from the public that in France there's a supermarket chain that is now actually labeling stuff that has been shrink flated, so the public knows because they feel obligated to let people know.

I think that'd be great on the bunk and now with thirty percent less product, Yeah.

But more guts, more guts, less product made with more love. But because it's kind of sneaky when they raise prices, we get it, but when they put less product in and they do it in a way where either they indent the bottom of the thing, whether there's air in there or you don't know. So we wanted to get on somebody who not only knows about it, but he's considered the world's foremost expert on shrink plates.

Yes we do.

A consumer advocate for over forty five years, Edgar Dwarski, also known as Mister Consumer, founded Consumer World in nineteen ninety five. It's public service company highlighting the latest consumer news and scam alerts and ways to save money. He was a former Massachusetts attorney assistants Attorney General and consumer Protection was a consultant for the Federal Trade Commission.

This is a big and before we say hi, he's standing there. The thing is when you got a consumer reporter who's not in and about making money, and I know that this was a lot of this was funded by you.

You don't live.

Big, but this is really from your heart and you don't see many people like that, and I wanted to talk about that com on.

So let's welcome Edgar warskif to our show.

Thanks, thanks for having me. Guys really appreciate the invitation.

So before we get into products and some that are inflated worse than others and skinflated, which means the ingredients or wordered down or whatever, why did you get into what called to you to do? Something that's not thankful. You don't make money doing this.

I'm guessing he was taking. He was abused. He was an abusion. Something happened. He thought he bought a thing. It was less of a thing, and it was a crusade.

Was born right here? Am I anywhere near right?

I actually majored in marketing as a college student, and some of my jobs were in market research. But I learned, you know, creating questionneers, listening to consumers. I cared more about the consumers that I cared about the manufacturers. You know that hired me to do the questionnaires. And if you do something you love, you don't have to get paid for it, or believe me, I get paid buck gis.

And by the way, it's less buckused than even you look like like, let me.

Take a moment for the non Yiddish speakers.

Means nothing, zero, not a.

Silch ziph nine shine means.

So you do it from your heart and you not only I got the newsletter and I've gone to consumer World. You should see how many articles he puts out. And I think you still every Monday put out the top shrinkflation items. A couple of top shrinkflation items to look for correct.

Well, every Monday there's a newsletter with in twenty five or thirty consumer news stories. I didn't write most of them, and maybe quarterly i'll do a list of items that have shrunk, or as you'd say, have we're skimping on a product where you're getting you know, less oil in the salad dressing than used to get in the substitute water. That's what skimplouse.

Yeah, well he should. I mean I've seen him. I've seen a whole to each other, and you watch, you want, you can see the levels right there before we get to certain products. I just had read an article in preparation for this saying that the worst offenders of this are dollar stores or the inexpensive stores.

Is that seam accurate to you?

Well, what I found is dollar stores have products made especially for them. Someone sent me a picture of some Campbell's chunky soup and the regular size is eighteen point four ounces or something like that, and then there was a sixteen point one and they said, look at this shrinkflation. No, the sixteen ounce one especially made for the dollar stores

And am I correct that in better financial times when these companies are doing a little bit better, they never turn around and go, oh, we're doing good, now we can lower the pro I mean, is there ever a true price reduction?

Once a price is gone.

Up, sometimes prices come down. You'll see specials, you may see a loss leader. But people often ask, well do you ever see the big product again? Well, sometimes they shrink the product so much they have to bring back a larger size, but it's never at the original price, and they give it a fancy name, like potato chips. You always used to have a one pound bag of potato chips. Then they became fourteen ounces in thirteen and twelve and eleven and ten. Then they bring back a

Whoa boy?

So if party size and also new and improved is nonsense a lot?

Well, it's funny you mentioned before, are we ever going to see something on a label that talks about getting small size? We always see new and improved. My fantasy has always been, are we going to see a starbars? This says, look twenty percent less instead of twenty percent more.

R Wow, but new improved it brings us back at a bigger price. With new and improved. Do they have to prove that it's new and improved in any way or no.

It's typically viewed as puffing to say that the product is new and improved. Hopefully it really is true. They've done something. I mean, for years, Sharman, the number one toilet paper brand, used to say, oh, it's now softer and it's fluffed. And I had asked them at one point, well, you know, the original Sharman had six hundred and fifty sheets on a roll. They're now down. If you could find single rolls of Sharman to fifty five sheets on a roll ninety percent less. Let me actually show you

My god, So when it dropped from six hundred defined to fifty, didn't the consumer go hell no oh.

If you did it all in one fell swoop. But we're talking about think of back to the days of mister Whipple in the nineteen sixties. Ladies, Please don't squeeze the Sharman right over the years, so it went down to six hundred and five point fifty and five hundred and four hundred and just slowly, maybe every six months, maybe every year or two, so you don't catch it. And that's what's so sneaky about shrink flation. Look at the product and it looks about the same size as all.

Let me do the pushback and advocate. Just give the company's point of view, he Edgar. Patroleum products costs more, the processing costs more, labor benefits, labor costs more, real estate costs more, electricity costs more. We couldn't do this and keep a profit. Is that legitimate or is it legitimate to say fifty percent of that? But they still keep their margins, and the margins have gone up over the years.

Well, it's legitimate that they have, you know, increased costs. Absolutely, do they pass it on to consumers in a straightforward way. Many shoppers say they would rather pay more than have the sneaky backdoor price increase where they do it in kind of a steaky, surreptitious way.

Well, how about store brands when you so when you see that happens, and you go, I'm not choosing to buy into this too much. I'll go with the store brand. Is a store brand generally cheaper and more product.

Well, the store brand is generally cheaper, and it tends to be the last one to change and downsize. Years ago, when and Skippy went from eighteen ounces to sixteen point three, you mentioned in your intro, how did they do it? The old jar looked the same as the new jar. Well, they put an indent in the bottom of the jar, so it looked to be the same size. So the kind of masters at packaging tricks. Cereal, for example, Kellogg

Is this is this more or less limited to supermarket items, or is this happening you know, in big electronics and and appliances and cars. Is it is in it across the board shrink flesh or is it just the sort of small daily products we find on.

The shelves Well we.

Is it across the board shrimp flesh or is it just the sort of small daily products we find on the shelves.

Well, we tend to see most in health and beauty aids in supermarkets. But someone just posted today a story about home depot having some certain type of wire and they had the wire from four years ago in the wire today and they showed it was a narrower gauge. So it really can be across the board. See, and a lot of times we don't know with skimpflation, where the manufacturer reformulates the product, we don't know what percentage of cleaning ingredients are intied. For example, it's not on

Well, I also read somewhere that they shaved like bars of soap. They'll shave the corners they're round off the corners to shave size, and you won't so it's not obvious when you're holding the bar that it's smaller.

Is that accurate.

Well, they've changed the shape of bars. They've put a curve in it. The bath sized bar used to be five ounces. You're lucky if it's three point nine ounces these days, tuna cans. It was seven ounces to start with, then it was six and a half, and then six and five and a half. In the current you know, tuna is five ounces. Let me show you kind of the history of ice cream. This is Briar's ice Cream, one of the big brands, but other brands like Eighties,

Did They still call it a half gallon.

Now they don't call it a half gas. But I mean here, when you have them lined up, you can see a little bit of a difference. Yeah, But in the store, unless you have that last package of the old size right next to the new package of the news size. You can't tell the difference, so the change over time is very subtle. You buy a four roll pack of toilet paper, it looks like I always did same thing with paper towels, but you're getting much less.

And is this commpletely legal that these companies do not have to report what they're doing to the consumer.

It is absolutely kosher as long as they list the net weight or the net count on the package. It's up to us, as good consumers and sharp shoppers to pay attention. Shame on us if we don't pay attention. And that's really one of my tips. You have to get to know what the size of the products is you normally buy. If you're just someone who goes to the store, grabs the product, rose it in your cart. You don't pay attention to the fine print, you're going to get snuggered.

When you see new streamline bottle, easier to grip or whatever that can also be a giveaway.

Correct, correct, Well, I thought this gatorade is thirty two ounces, this one is twenty eight, So you lost half a cup between the two. Would you necessarily notice? No? What did they do? They tapered the middle of this bottle, and when I asked them, why did you do it, they said, well, we wanted to make the bottle easier to grip. Well, give me a break. Did they really get a ton of consumer complaints? But said, gee, slipper have a hard time holding this big bottle, please make it smaller.

Wow?

Does the average consumer? This is interesting?

I think I'm probably your worst nightmare because I am a sort of a you know, I need towels, grab it off the shelf. I don't really look as much. But does the average consumer notice this?

A and B care enough to stop the trend?

I think more and more consumers are noticing. For decades, I call this downsizing. But maybe seven or eight years ago, the term strength inflation came about and the media really glommed onto that. And because of it, there's been so many stories about products shrinking. Consumers awareness of it really is increasing. And when you read comments, you know, on my website Mouthsprint dot org, when I showcase you know, half a dozen or dozen items, people really are getting angry.

So there hasn't been enough pushback to brands. Brands are not suffering from this yet or are they? To people At a certain point say I am switching brands, and then these companies actually see it and it hurts them.

Well, the trouble is then the competitor switches to the smaller size also, so now there's equilibrium, and where am I going? Everyone's doing it? Where is there for the consumer to go? There isn't They used to be time you buy Oreos a sixteen ounce package and then they went down to fifteen point something and now I believe it's like thirteen point something for Oreos. If you don't pay attention, you really don't realize you're getting less for

So, Edgar, before we move on, I got to ask you started out when I guess a lot of networks had consumer reporters. I remember Philly they had a consumer guy and they were always balled and went out and busted somebody who ripped somebody off or whatever, and it was entertained. It was entertainment and was also the legal part of it whatever. And then that started to diminish. And now you're like one of the last men standing. And Jason and I were talking about this ahead of time.

Well, well, actually the Consumer Consumer Federation of America has an annual conference, but we are all aging. I used to be a member of the Massachusetts Consumers Coalition, which were all the local consumer groups in the state, and there were some young guys in their twenties and I was so happy to see them there and I said, you know, you guys are the future of the movement. You know, all of us are getting older, we're going to be retiring, you're going to be taking over. What

Of And if you go shopping, you're buying thirty items and third or half of them are shrink flated, look at what your buying power has worse.

I'm also wondering, you know, I'm not pushing back on your concern at all, Edgar, but I also wonder why if I, I mean, if I'm making a product, and sure I want to, I want to increase profit to the.

Greatest extent I can.

But even if you know, federally I'm not regulated to do certain things that I know are best for my customer base.

Am I really just so.

Unconcerned about my customer that I'll take every advantage of.

Them I can. Do you find that there is just no sense of.

Ethics, you know, to the towards the consumer and the customer base that easily flaunted.

I mean, it's hard to call it unethical, is it sneaky for sure. The trouble is everyone does it. It's a copycat industry. One toilet paper brand downsizes, another one follows suit. If one peanut butter gets smaller, another one does it. One brand of cereal if Kellogg's does it, General Mills follows. Any number of times when I've asked companies, why did you do it, I'll say, well, a competitor did it, So we're just kind of following the trend in the market.

That's what my mother would say.

If the competitor jumped off the roof, would you jump off the road?

Here's the deal.

That's what my mother would be to defend them from a standpoint of are they ripping us off? So I'm the company and I go my costs go up, I have to launch new products that don't always work. That I got a build in failure and all that, and I got to deliver profits. Because I don't deliver profits, I'm screwed. So if we're not going to sell a product because we have to raise the price and our competition hasn't, they're going to buy the competition.

So choice more.

If I if I say to a consumer, you can pay the same price and get less, or I'll give you what you're used to getting, but I need to charge you thirty cents more. And here's why. Why wouldn't the consumers say okay?

But just because some doing, some can't afford it. So there you go.

I mean that's sure, but right now the choice isn't on the table.

It is what seems to be the result.

It's going to be interesting. Do you think this will continue? The trimplation goes on for average just it's worse now in some respects. Do you think it's going to keep going?

It's going to keep going. And if you have two seconds, I will tell you the folklore of how it started. Back in the nineteen fifties was the time of nickel vending machines for candy. All all of a sudden, the chocolate manufacturers told the vendors, oh, you know, we're gonna have to raise our prices. Well, they said, what are we going to do? The vendors said, because our machines take a nickel, we can't make the machines take six cents. So someone came up with a brilliant idea, Oh, we'll

Wow?

So one last question, are even the gluten free and the organic people doing this? Is a you know, is a vegan? Is a vegan product? Less of what I don't want?

It is across the board. Actually, a consumer reporter here in Boston said, you better go to Whole Foods because you know they're shredded mazzarella. It used to be eight ounces, and I think it's now only six or seven.

So oh yeah, oh yeah, consumer world dot org is the place to go. And what's the mouseprint one? Mouseprint and mouseprint dot org, which I love. And as soon as you see that, you go, how many things have I signed in my lifetime that I haven't read?

Oh my god?

Every time I click on an Apple product, I go, well that's a kidney.

Check out his website and it's fascinating to thank mouseprint dot org two. And thanks for coming on here, Thanks for doing what you're doing.

Well, great, thanks for having me guy.

A pleasure, sure, a pleasure.

So it's just hard.

It's just we may have gotten the we may have gone a little shorter. With it, we might be did we shrink? Did our episode shrink?

Did we do enough? Are we getting forty percent less the same price?

Edgar Dorsky forty percent less?

Well, it's kind of a simplistic idea, but I think most people either they well they're stinicare because they're pushing back everywhere. And as he went off, he just said in Europe, yeah, wors the product.

I just think it's an insant. Like you know, for me, I would never know. Am I counting the chips and the pringles? Can I don't know?

I don't know.

Yeah, but when I opened them, when I opened that family pack of chips at home, and I'm looking down, like at the Chilean miners, they're way down there.

Where do the chips start? Way down?

You start to go, wait a minute, this is this is less. And again I don't think a lot of people begrudge the companies because I guess they figure doing business is harder, it costs more, they got to pay time, whatever that is. On the other hand, I think the pushback is big because it is it does appear sneaky and because the prices.

Never go back, that's right. The thing is, you know, honestly. Yeah, trust me to be a big boy.

Tell me.

You know, hey, guys, our costs are going up. We're going to give this to you. Two ways can buy exactly the same product, but it'll be a little more for those of you that can't afford more. We're going to give you a little all right, but I'll push back and then well and then you know, you go, Okay, we're in a relationship.

But I can push back right now. Sure all of our items are marked, We have the weight on the item, and yeah, I guess what.

Look at the way you paid. Look the weight and paid. You can see it. It's not like we're hiding that. No, but of course we made the.

Nobody's reading the weight.

Level the cereal box I saw.

I saw an example of that where there's like less and the box looked like a mountain the Chrysler building.

Well, I should also point out that a little. And I don't want to potential. I mean, but some of the cereals, you know, where it's sugar with an oat.

If you're not getting that extra two cups of might not hurt.

I didn't want to name names, Captain.

But.

We know they're sugary.

Yeah, I mean, you know.

But that's up to me.

That's my responsibility what I want to eat, And it's right there on the box right now to Tony.

Whoever Tony's gun isn't Tony gunn No, I don't.

I don't know.

He's still there, don't know. Yes, he's still there on the frosted plates.

The reason I asked if it's just supermarket stuff is because you know, I buy and eat a lot of garbage, unless if it wouldn't be so bad.

But if they did that.

To me on a car and they go with one less part. You know what I was thinking of the whole time. I thank god I have a fountain in my head of Jerry Seinfeld material and he used to do this bit about the Sert's commercial now with two drops of reds and then we go two drops of redsin.

Nobody is what the hell retsin is? There's too drops?

We now have more of something you've never heard of, and you weren't sure if what was there before, which is insane, right, I thought that was so brough By the way, The point is, I don't know what age it now has wretched? Yeah, yeah, right, you know what, He's smart because we had a word guy on. Obviously the way they present it must be, must be. Why would they put it in here? And by the way, they didn't skimp us in each in each mint?

Wow? Yeah wow.

The new Toyota Prius now with Retchen does it work on everything?

Does it work on everything?

Docs, Tiders, Khaki bands Due three featuring reds and with a pocket for your retsin? Can you we have to have David look up, well, Lauren, look up, look up rets and and see if it even exists?

See what?

See what comes up when you're putting the words redsin?

What?

What? What is it?

Does it show a picture?

Do you squeeze an animals? Get it? What is it? What is it?

Right?

You definitely squeeze an animals? Again that question?

Yeah, we never think of here's an episode.

Really when he when he came out with that bit, I thought, that's the most brilliant observation because I used to watch those commercials and.

Go I follow.

Yeah, yeah, but Retch, let's see if there's a retson answer.

I have an answer. Retsin is a trademarked ingredients.

In shirts, SERTs.

It's a trademarking green in shirts. It does what that.

Gives them their signature green flex and helps combat.

Bad Okay, it gives it.

It is a mixture of partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, copper, glucinate and flavoring does.

Okay, surely nothing and it suggests the word retsin.

They took those things.

But but it so it gives it to green sprinkles. Yeah, it helps with your breath and whatever. So it is the item that is the breath fighter.

I guess sure.

But on the industry how but where do they get the fun name Retsen?

And by the way, I come from an advertising background where you have to sit and compete. Let's go around the now shirts table. Guys, what do you think Bigger, lasts, longer, guarantees good breath.

How what do you got now with now? With retsin?

Know in the industries claiming the Retsin thing, Well, nobody knows what it is. Hal guys were going with it.

Yeah, we all and we all flocked it. It sold well, yeah, sold still upsirts. I'm still thinking and it has rats.

Why wouldn't I buy it?

Of course? David Google, they're now shorter, David Google on, well, I've cut off my feet.

But actually, Jason if you do, in fact have some SERTs lying around.

They're valuable two things.

One you could sell them on eBay because they were discontinued in twenty eighteen. Yeah, but you have to mark on the sale not for human consumption, because they've actually banned the ingredients that were dumb come on rets it?

Yes?

Really no, really, so the new one, we should watch it no longer new and improved, and we can say new and improved, new and improved with.

Wow. I didn't know that.

Wow.

Yes, holy crap. The thing they promoted as the cell.

Got them, got them taking off the market.

I say, allegedly use the word that we haven't don't want to be served for that.

Yeah, it was. It has not been allowed to be sold in food in.

The United States since since twenty eighteen. So there ago now no more reds and no more asserts. I guess that there's a stink on it ironically.

Really no, really, that's huge.

I have to learn to really respect the expiration dates of things too.

I don't really I.

Don't trust something.

I don't trust all the tapio coupogans a month, month, month, two months. Yeah, certain stuff you don't risk it, but other stuff you go, come on you you know, it's.

Like I'll buy a sliced Deli meat and I didn't get to it for a week and my wife goes throw.

It out, and I go, this, you do what your grandfather? What did your grandfather? What did your grandfather do?

What did he do?

Yeah? You smell it, You smell you smell it, and if it.

Smells even kind of close to what it should be, you go, right, all right, have you ever Okay.

If it's mild body odor, it's still.

My grandfather actually saw my grandfather would take like a muffin, it would have mold on.

Yeah.

Should I go wow, Yeah, I've done that to a bagel. That piece was moldy. The rest of it's fine.

You don't know what's hard.

Then I nuke it, and I go, what's going to survive the nuke?

You don't know what other colonies are breeding in there.

It's it's just that it's pencil.

Wow.

Really, And you're worried about skimflation and you're eating bagels. Bagels they've grown mushrooms on them. It doesn't matter two for one now with mushrooms. So fruit fruit until.

It's like unless if fruit falls apart in my hand. If it doesn't do that, I mean this dietegrates when you figure it out.

Oh man, wow, how is a banana left in your house a banana?

Well, first of all, yes, it has stages because versus the banana in the bowl.

Yes. Yes.

Then when it's when you go, it's going to get some spots. Then you put it in the fridge.

See that's what I freeze it. I put in a freezer.

Put it in the fridge for the spots. When the spots meld into one brown banana freezer. Now you open it, you take the skin out, you wrap it in seran. Actually, you slice the mushy banana. You slice them the mushy banana in half. You put peanut butter in it, and then put the other half back on, wrap it in soran, and freeze it.

You're taking a mushy oh dead banana.

Once it's frozen. Once it's frozen, it's not mushy anymore.

You take but you take a banana you wouldn't eat, and put peanut butter on it to bring it new life, bring it.

Back, give it my banana life. How many people here have ever heard of that?

Nobody anything else that goes to you.

What you've been to my house?

I don't know.

I don't want to.

I don't want to even I've got coffee in my You don't take it black, do you?

I don't want to go there. I don't want to know what you.

Whatever the curtain says, whatever it says. If you pour the milk in and it doesn't come up in little clumps, it was probably okay.

Don't you think you drank it?

I'm not flashing back so many scripts I have written, and how much monk I've oead of your house? Surprised that I'm still alive? Yeah, yeah, you still pall? Yeah, yeah, whatever, I totally intolerant. Was that white stuff in my coffee? Rotten banana? Rotten banana?

By the way, also a good use googlehind Thank you for that.

In from you too long about the rest wow retch and took him out?

Yeah, Edgar strike anything else.

Well, it's just sort of struck me, Jason, that that the bagel gets to eat and even though it's green, but the banana, the banana gets re shifted several times without the consideration of maybe I just eat it.

No, No, do you ever really just want to pick up a banana.

Yeah, I've never had that.

I buy them with good intentions.

I buy them for cereal, and then I don't eat cereal that morning. And then the bananas I.

Have blueberries have been looking at me for two weeks. Right, you want to get hard? When is this happening here? When is this happening?

Yeah?

And then I ate them in some yogberries and they taste it horrible. Yeah, and they're probably bad, but I went, yeah, but in yogurt.

Okay, welcome to my house. Now you're in my house. By the way, it's only me in my house. My wife throws everything out.

This is why, this is why there'sous.

It's trench warfare.

The sort you put it in.

I've made it to forty four years. My day was stamped when.

I fixture with you, because I know if you come home shopping, you open a fiery put something, and you walk out of there, she takes it out immediately.

Yeah.

But she also she's also the one that leaves a thimble of milk in the milk.

Oh, still good, excuse me, still good?

Excuse me. Yeah, So you talk about cheap.

It's not cheap. It's Dana it's not about sheep for Dana.

She I bought it. It's good, I'll use it and I go.

But you that that you don't have You don't have a thimble of milk in there.

Well, well I have what I have.

But when I'm squeezing mustard and it's parting and only the liquid is coming out, I think it's time.

Don't you think it's time? David? It's time.

Another episode of really No Really is out. You got an option. You can say goodbye, or you can shmear us with peanut butter wrappers and saran wrap and put us in the freeze.

By the way, people will be doing that, I bet they.

I bet they won't. I bet they will.

Not write us and tell us.

I bet they will if you do the three stages of a banana's life.

That's another episode of really No Really. He comes to a close, and I know you're.

Wondering what items are the most profitable for the supermarket. Well, I'll mark that answer up for you in a minute. But versus, let's thank our guest, Edgar Dwarski.

You can follow it.

You're at either of these websites consumerworld dot org or mouseprint Dottal and now they answers the question what items are the most profitable for the supermarket. Bulk items big stores like Costco where you buy twenty four rolls of toilets pay for at a time. Sure, the price may look like a bargain, but take out your calculator and divide the price by the number of roles. Then check what a four pack with the same item costs, and you may be surprised that buying in bulk is not a savings.

Brand name over the counter medicines are.

Way more expensive than their generic counterparts comparing gredients, and if they seem similar, saved with the gennire.

Convenience items may cost you big markets. No, you don't want to go to several stores if you can get everything at once.

To the market of convenience items like light bulbs and greeting cards that would be less at a hardware or stationary store. Breakfast cereals are often the biggest shelf in the market. Why huge markups for the market huge and finally, pre cut fruit and veggie so convenience, all sliced or diced or chopped and ready to go in their little container butt They are often ten times the price.

If you had just bought the ingredients and slice it yourself.

You're paying for the labor, so best bet buy generic by Just Foods and buy them the way nature gives them to you, and you'll save substantially at your local market.
