OK, no I didn't leave a kid at Target or follow through with the threat of giving the naughty one to my neighbor for a few weeks, but downsizing has hit our house. Now most people would not be too concerned that their kids vitamins went from a 220 count to a 200 count bottle, but in this family with 5 little ones that take 2/day that just cut us from a bottle that lasted 22 days to now only 20. The good news is that we don't always remember to take them, so I may get 30 days out of a bottle. Thank goodness for Costco!!
It is good to look carefully at packaging though. I was buying pasta a few months ago and noticed the size of the box was much smaller. After a closer look, I figured out that the boxes were now 12 oz packages versus the 16 oz (1 lb.) boxes that use to stock the shelves. Now I ask you, how often do you see a recipe call for 12 oz of pasta??? No, it usually a 16 oz box, so now do we split noodles?

The one that irritates me the most is the yogurt. Have you noticed that they downsized the adult yogurt to coincide with the children's sizes? Should I eat 2 yogurts? That's too much. Stupid food people!
