People of London: Have you noticed shrinkflation?

Do you get less for your money while shopping these days?

Transcript

00:00Yeah, I think it's both. I think you are seeing lesser in the portions and people always talk

00:05about the size of chocolate bars going down, don't they? But I think you see it across

00:08like all fresh produce as well now, as well as the price is hiking too. So I think it's

00:13a bit of a combination of both. I'm not quite sure how we tackle it, other than inflation

00:19is starting to come down, which is great.

00:21Yes, especially a packet of crisps. You buy a packet of crisps, it looks big, you know,

00:27it's full of air, you open the packet and there's, it's stingy. It's just so stingy.

00:32I've noticed that in the last 10 years or more, yeah.

00:35There's a problem along multiple lines. I think the solution is price controls implemented

00:41from the top down by the government. I think in the long term, I would love to see like

00:46a state, like a sort of state grocery provision of some kind, like, hey, these are state owned

00:51nationalised companies whose job is to provide standard, standardised, like basic groceries

00:56at a certain price, which is locked or whatever.
