We used to get bags of one pound (16 ounces) of coffee, and the price was around $3.00 back in the 1970's. Lately the same size bag held only 12 ounces of product and the price is $7 or $8 per bag. (Some premium brands are up to $10 or more per bag, depending on the store's pricing policies.)
So I was shopping the other day and I noticed that the standard bags of coffee are now packed with about 11.5 ounces. These coffee companies have all changed their packaging at the same time, they've reduced the amount of product so no brand gets a marketing advantage over their competitors. It's 2024 and price collusion is the American way now.
