I saw this on Eyewitness News and immediately had to share this important consumer news with you all. You can also read more about it here in USA Today.
My tactic to save money when grocery shopping is to buy supermarket brands (they are just as good as the major manufacturer's and in some cases they are even produced from the same company) which often offer more for your money. Keep an eye on price per unit/pound. I'm sure for those of you who made lasagna in the past, you've noticed that a jar of tomato sauce shrank over the years from 32oz to 28 oz to 23.5oz and you are still paying the SAME price or even more!
One visible proof is looking at the recipes listed on the back of pasta boxes which haven't been changed in years. You'll notice that it calls for a bottle of 32 oz tomato sauce and you won't be able to find that anywhere.
If you must be a brand loyalist (and in these economic times you must be crazy or a spendthrift) buy those items when they are on sale or if you have a coupon.
