As the prices go up, the items we pay for get smaller.

It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but that’s what’s been happening lately with a lot of things at the grocery store.

And a woman named Adriana posted a video on TikTok to complain about a package of chicken she bought at a Costco store.

Adriana said the package of chicken thighs she typically buys from Costco just ain’t what it used to be.

She told viewers, “This is shrinkflation. No diss to Costco, I used to buy these all the time. I just want people to be aware.”

Adriana added, “They used to have rows of five in each. Six rows of five, that’s 30. Now we have one, two, three, four, five rows of four, that’s 20. For the same price.”
