Packages are smaller, some things cost twice as much as they used to and the higher-priced supermarket chains and pharmacies have only a few cars in the parking lot. New England is feeling the crunch and we are facing winter heating costs. I usually use Comstock cherry pie filling, just barely covered the bottom of the pan, I noticed the difference from the norm, then read the label, which said "use two cans." Geez! Making more things from scratch, getting back to basics, forgetting about "diets" yet careful about fats and sugars. If things continue, we won't need to go on a diet, we will HAVE to cut corners. My DIL was complaining of this smaller packaging also this weekend. We went out for a special occasion this weekend -- family style chicken dinner, and the restaurant purposely served the salad "after" they brought out the meal and It was a small bowl for 11 people. We didn't say anything as we had 5 kids who don't eat salad anyway.The usual dessert which goes with the family style meal was eliminated. Everyone is hurting and holidays are coming. Doing my own baking, no more canned cherries!
