Is it me or are things getting cheaper?

No not price wise, everything is still going up. They still charge you for a big box of cereal when in fact you are getting a smaller box, you can even see it on the price labels, (common sense would be to change the labels, or maybe is this their way of making you mad while you are grocery shopping?)

Okay, back to my rant about cheap products. I go and buy a new roll of saran wrap, good quality, lasts forever and not really expensive. That is until I get home and use it for the first time. I open the box, they have changed where the little cutter is, instead of on the bottom it is now on the lid. Maybe this goes to show how long it has been since I have bought saran wrap. So, I proceed to put this on a bowl and low and behold it will not stick. So what has changed from the last time I bought a box? The economy? Definitely. The quality in which items are made? Most definitely. I may just have to still with aluminum foil or Glad press and seal.

Also, if you have bought a can of petite diced tomatoes lately then you have noticed the quality of them as well. They are hardly petite diced and then they look like they have been thrown into the blender before packaging. Just great instead of nice cut up tomatoes I now have blended tomatoes in the meal I made for dinner. At least they still taste like tomatoes before long the cutbacks will be hitting those too or they may become impostors. All in the name of saving money.
