"How can we make the mac and cheese any cheaper?"
"Fake cheese?"
"Shrinkflation?"
"Make the pasta out of saw dust."
When a box of Kraft is $1.24 and a box of the store brand stuff is $0.58, I don't care if I was a billionaire, I'm buying the store brand. It's the same product for less than half the price.
while i am with you on the sentiment, less than half sounds too good to be true. if i see KD at 1.30 then the store brand wiill be 1.15.
$0.58 x 2 = $1.16
$1.16 < $1.24
The store brand is less than half the price.
I pulled the prices from the Walmart website, so they are accurate for that store, which most of America has access to. The fact that you call it KD makes me think you're from Canada, so maybe it's not true in Canada.
That's really cheap, I wonder if the ingredient quality is the same.
No one in my family could tell the difference in a blind taste test.
Bro's over here breaking out hand-collected data.
For all we know they had all Covid when they taste-tested this
COVID 19 literally did not exit when we did the test. Believe it or not, some folks are more than 6 years old.
Christ, even Kraft realize how fucked we are.
The company recently changed Classico pasta sauce so water is the first ingredient and the jars are now smaller. They're not on the consumers side.
This is only the start, the real damage due to the closure of the strait hasn’t started yet.
The general population will see their income vs purchases shrink really slowly soon.
