Just realized how much smaller a standard bag of chips has gotten

I was cleaning out a cupboard and found an empty bag from a brand I buy all the time. I compared it to a new one I just opened and the new bag is a full ounce smaller, but the price is the same. I looked it up and apparently this 'shrinkflation' thing has been happening for years. Anyone else notice this with their regular grocery items lately?

Ugh, it's so frustrating! I noticed the same thing with my coffee creamer last week. Totally agree with @the_wyatt, it feels like a sneaky trick they're all pulling.

Yeah it's crazy how normal this has gotten. My usual box of cereal lost like two full servings but the box looks the same. Maybe it's just me but it feels like we're all getting quietly ripped off.
