    Costco really has nothing to apologize for; they’re the only chain that hasn’t been jacking prices like there’s no tomorrow. They’re not much above pre-pandemic levels on a lot of the items I buy. Things like dairy are nearly half the price of shitbirds like Safeway.

      Some things went incredibly high even at Costco. The canned chicken went from 13-14 dollars up to 21 dollars. I haven’t bought it since but it’s probably smaller as well.

      That said Costco staples have stayed much closer to original price than every other supermarket I’ve been in.

      A lot of products I buy shrinked in size since the beginning of the year. Kirkland toilet paper for instance has less sheets per roll (from 425 to 380)… so I’m not sure they have nothing to apologize for…

        I noticed that on shop towels a little before covid. I sent an email and got no reply. But for the most part, Costco has held the line with only a few shrinkflation items.
