Our internet provider has just shrinkflated us by 'retiring' the $10 a month reduction we get because our home internet and my phone's data are on the same plan. And in NZ, the data and internet providers treat their existing customers poorly and give discounts and perks to new customers. It doesn't make sense to me.

Re groceries it's not just that you pay the same price for a smaller product, the product itself can change, and usually not for the better. If you notice that your favorite chocolate bar or mayonnaise doesn't taste the same, check to see if they've swapped expensive ingredients for cheaper ones, or included more water. Last year I bought some cream cheese and chive dip to take to a Christmas party. To my horror, the once thick dip was runny and watery. When this happens, I stop buying the product.

Same. Sam's Business card used to have free shipping and now there is a minimum purchase. I get why but it's so frustrating!
