Went to the store today for our weekly shopping and was dismayed when I got to the ice cream section. Hadn't had any Edy's chocolate lately.... I was infuriated to find that they have shrunk the package again. First it went from 1/2 gallon to 1.75 quarts, and now it is 1.5 quarts. And guess what, the price went up 20 cents. I guess I am lucky. The Hannaford I get it at usually had it for 2.99, where I have seen it at other stores for 4.49 and as high as 5.29. I would hope the stores selling it for 4 and 5 dollars wont raise it with the new size container. I think breyers also did it so the others will probably soon follow. Another shrinkage that bothered me, was when yogurt went from 8 to 6 ozs. Especially since those were single servings and now you can only eat 6 oz at at time.
