Shrinkflation may be returning for 2025

After months of rising costs, you may notice some grocery store prices holding steady.

But, we may still be paying more.

Remember shrinkflation, that trending term a few years ago when it seemed every grocery product was getting smaller? Well, for 2025, it’s back.

The site Consumer World shared photos of the latest items to downsize, including Simply Orange, which it claims recently shrunk from 52 to 46 ounces.
