Are they going to also make the containers bigger again? I really miss that extra 2 (and the other 2 from the first reduction) "servings" in the edy's ice cream container

break out your smallest spoons and sandwich plates so all the food looks bigger and over flowing.

I read an article about this phenomenon. Food industry packages less volume for the same price. Its inflation in one of its more obscure forms.

Anybody into bargain meat & poultry from Davis Sq/ Porter Sq area should no longer purchase any beef, chicken, lamb or pork from any other supermarket except McKinnons. Prime cuts (delmonico, NY Strip, Filet Mignon, Porterhouse) damn near %50 cheaper than @ shaws. The Chicken discounts are even more. They also carry rabbit if thats your thing.
