Rumors! Pampers, Huggies Shrinking Packaging Again?

I've been hearing from a few of you who have notices smaller packaging on diapers and wipes.

Kimberly wrote to me yesterday:
I noticed today at Target in Gilbert, AZ that my Pampers big box of Baby Dry size 3 was taller than the ones next to it. There were a few boxes left with 100 diapers, but most had 96. I checked the other sizes and only noticed a change in Swaddlers size 1 (but I must confess, I only looked quickly)-- moving from 100 diapers per box to 92! I noticed it's not that way on your diapers/pack spreadsheet, so I don't know if this is a new change or if we're just barely getting it here.
And Chaya sent me this a couple of weeks ago:
I was just at the store in order to buy value boxes of Huggies wipes. Half the boxes had the former number of wipes, 384, and half of the boxes had 360 wipes. Thought people may want to know that there looks to be a change in the number of wipes to a pack, and to try to get the bigger boxes while they last.

Say it isn't so, readers! That's a 7 or 8 percent shrinkage! Have you noticed smaller quantities of diapers or wipes in the boxes you've bought?

    I saw this on the news a while back that companies are doing this to a lot of products lately (peanut butter, chips, etc..).  They are not changing the packaging, but putting less ozs in the containers.  So shady!

    Its so hard to keep up with what is in what type of box....seems like it is different everywhere so when you try to price compare its not easy.   I have heard many products doing this.....have you noticed in the meat dept that ground beef in package NEVER over a lb these days...I swear its to make you think it hasn't gone up.  I don't want .75lb....I want the full pound, so quit trying to fool me!
