It’s the sneaky way of raising prices. They often keep the box size the same and just reduce the amount in the boxes, at least for a while.
The other trick you have to watch out for, is we have gotten so used to the large size being a better value, that is not always the case anymore. Do the math, sometimes the smaller size is a better value.
Even when the larger size is a better price value, the smaller size might be an actual better value for you. Especially, if it’s something you won’t finish before it’s shelf life and will end up throwing a lot of it out.

There’s a lot of truth here. The USA birthrate has gone down several years in a row now.
