Less is more (expensive)





Don't look now but that bar of Dial soap has shrunk.
It's the same length and width. Even the thickness is the same at the ends.
BUT they shaved out the middle (about half an ounce worth) and didn't lower the price.
The cost of tallow is killing them, they say.
Just another example of the hidden inflation we have been living with for the last decade.

We just use the ones Reid brings home from the hotel. Sometimes I just want to buy then so they are all the same!

Only you guys would take pictures of soap. Makes me think of A Christmas Story where Ralphie says "Fudge" sort of, and he has to keep various types of soap in his mouth. He even says he became a connoisseur of soap.
