The incredible shrinking shampoo bottles...

Went to Target to pick up some shampoo. The end-cap was a "buy 2 and save" display, so I grabbed what I was looking for then noticed the bottles look really small. Went over to the shampoo aisle and saw the regular size bottles, previously 17oz were now 13oz. Same price. The 17oz bottles were listed as a "bonus size". The "buy 2 and save" were 8 oz each.

Ended up with "family size" with a $2 off coupon, which made them cheaper than the "bonus size".

I heard Proctor and Gamble will be raising prices between 2% and 16%.

I didn't realize the formula for baking soda could change like that

And this was the fridge and freezer type. Not even used in food.

Oh, and MW - don't sweat the dates. If it doesn't look/smell gross it should be fine. Things don't go bad on midnight of the date on the box. Hell. my canned and dry goods are next to my washer and dryer. That area gets pretty warm once a week.
