Dunkin Donuts shrunk the size of their coffee rolls! Those cheap bastards.

Noticed this the last time I got one a few weeks ago and thought ah maybe it was the runt of the batch or something, whatever. Wife stopped off and got us coffee and a coffee roll this morning for breakfast and same damn thing. Shrunken coffee roll. These things used to big old donuts, probably like 6-7 inches across. Now they're about 4 inches across, basically look like the size of a regular doughnut.

I'm kinda pissed about it. The price stayed the same and we're now getting less for our money. Sure I understand the margins on doughnuts are probably slim but for the love of Christ they're charging $1.69 for them. You're telling me the sugar, flour and cinnamon prices have gone up to the point they need to shrink the size by 30%? Two large coffees were $5. Hell they've gotta be making at least 50% profit on that even with all the cream and sugar.

Might have to find a new place for coffee and doughnuts. They're starting to get greedy.

Tim Horton's has been doing the same, their donuts seem so small now. Well everywhere does the same. Shrink stuff ever so slightly over the course of years while also raising prices. Capitalism 101.

The grocery store bakeries usually do decent doughnuts. I'll have to see if ours does coffee rolls and size them up. That might be my new jam.

I remember buying coffee in 3 lb cans for less than I now pay for 30 oz plastic "cans."

So...yeah, shit changes, prices go up, product size shrinks...we the consumer end up paying more for less.
