So, gentle reader, I am the sort of person who puts dryer sheets in with his laundry, especially during the winter months. And I have vacillated between the warehouse club’s house brand and Bounce name-brand dryer sheets for years. Depending upon how miserly I was feeling, mostly. But the last time I was in the market, I decided to go with Bounce because even though we run the laundry all day here, by the time we got to the bottom of a box of sheets, particularly the two-pack bundles we got, the sheets had lost most of their scent. So I went with the Bounce, and….
Wait a minute.
Instead of a two-pack of sheets, I got a single box here instead of two, and you’ve cut the size of the sheet about 20% but have put two of them together, perforated, so I have to tear them apart myself. And for the same low price?
Well, I guess if you’re going to do shrinkflation, it pays to add as many variables to the calculation as possible to try to obscure it as best you can.
Best of all, you’re doing this for my convenience.
Jeez, guys, am I getting more curmudgeonly, or merely posting the same amount of curmudgeonishness and cynicism more often? More value for you! If you value that sort of thing, I guess.
