I have over a years worth of detergent because I have an extra jug. I tuned in how much I actually need for most loads

one of the hardest things here has been getting Mom to use less soap than she thinks is enough... finally got her dialed in at last. she was using 2-3 times as much as was needed and it was making a mess of the machine.

Not to mention the fabrics and wallet

Speaking of shrinkflation, I was about to buy a gallon of orange juice at WM the other day when I noticed that it wasn’t a full gallon! It was a mere small 2.25 quarts! No way I’m paying full gallon price for that!

(Apparently the American orange tree farms got hit hard by some disease a while back and orange juice prices shot way up. Trees take years to replace, so the increase in OJ prices is understandable, but nearly 50% on top of that is not!)

OJ is a horrible choice in general (an extreme opinion probably). for the most nutrition/$ buy oranges and eat them all (including the peel - ok, almost all, don't eat the little nubby thing that is usually on there). juice removes the fiber and a lot of the vitamins so you're basically buying sugar water with some flavoring (that they add right before shipping).

I know you are right. OJ is one of the highest sugar content juices. I just happen to love it, and not-so-much like real oranges. No way you’re getting me to eat orange peel in any form! But even with the current elevated prices, it is cheaper per ounce to buy OJ than to juice oranges at home. It takes a LOT of oranges to make up a small glass of juice. At least it is better than pop. Which I stopped buying years ago. Only have that at restaurants now as a treat.
