Inflation preference - higher prices or smaller sizes?

[Defcon]

I would say Id prefer higher price to keep the pack size the same. But for junk food the increased price is not attractive as they are already overly expensive. I almost 95% of the time only ever buy junk food when it is on some kind of special, so an increase wont affect me if the special price is still good. They know this is probably how most people purchase junkfoods, so they reduce the amount in the packet to ensure they maintain their profits. For me this makes sense really, but I prefer packaging to stay the same size.

For fast food like Mcdonalds, damn their burgers are small!, the portion size of chips at KFC is ridiculously small! they call these meals when really they are just a snack!!!

I voted reduce package size.

While it's not the same for everything, I do agree with griffin for snack foods. One thing that annoys me with chips is that the servings of the flavours I like are inevitably the larger packs only - I don't really want 200gm, so 150gm (for arguments sake) suits me better. Yes it's inflation & a trick to hide the price rise, but it suits me nicely.

I also prefer it for Transformers; Hasbro have a tendency to make larger toys with more gimmick rather than more "transform" for the extra $$; so I prefer smaller toys anyway.
