Ice cream containers are shrinking - again. It used to be common for ice cream to be sold in a half gallon cartons. Some years ago, cartons shrunk to 1.75 quarts and just recently many ice cream cartons shrank again to only 1.5 quarts.
Prices, however, did not shrink accordingly. Most prices stayed the same. This latest change is the equivalent of a 16.667% price increase.

Today on WealthTalks, Tom and John talk about why ice cream containers are shrinking, and what we can do to keep our savings from shrinking as well.
