Not only have prices been on the rise across the country,
many of your favorite products are getting smaller.
Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of Purchase-based PepsiCo, has
announced that consumers will be getting five fewer chips in a bag
of Doritos.
A company spokesperson says they need to cut somewhere
because of inflation.
Instead of charging you more, they'll give you just a little bit less - going
from a 9.75
oz. bag to a 9.25 oz. bag.
Analysts say while five fewer chips doesn't sound like a
lot, savings will add up for Frito-Lays. Spread over 200 million bags of chips, the total amount saved could
be upwards of $50 million.
