Smithfield Bacon has returned to selling one pound packages and at the same price there were trying to pass off 12 ounces for 16. They must have gotten some backlash because it is printed, boldly, on their new packaging, "1 Pound!"
Some companies and restaurants appear to be using inflation as an excuse to price gouge. Others are truly struggling and have no choice but to make changes. Glad to see that at least one major meat supplier realized they couldn't get by with the former.
I thought Mary would appreciate hearing this if she didn't already notice.
