Shrinkflation has started with non-dairy milk... (lemmy.ca)

Even though prices have shot up for things like almond, soy, and oat milk, the size of refrigerated versions have always been 1.89L.

But I noticed some strangeness on the Walmart (Canada) website while building my grocery list where one brand, that is priced less than another brand, had a higher cost per 100ml.

As I looked into it, I noticed that several varieties have gone from 1.89L to 1.75L.

I'm getting real sick and tired of this.

Sells for around $5. A power blender could make that for around $0.20 in ingredients.

You would have to make the equivalent of 80 of those 1.75l oat milks to pay off a refurbished vitamix blender. That's about a year for our house. We buy organic oats in full 25kg bags and vacuum pack them, so I am considering this.

Since the post, we have been making our own almond milk. Pennies for the same amount, and everyone here loves it. Non dairy milk at the store has become such a scam.
