Smaller, Pricier, Worse: The Shrinkflation Swindle: How Corporations Quietly Rob You by Shrinking Pr

Are your groceries running out faster, your snacks looking smaller, and your dollars buying less-but prices keep climbing? You're not imagining it. You're experiencing shrinkflation-the silent, systematic erosion of consumer value.

Smaller, Pricier, Worse: The Shrinkflation Swindle is the definitive guide to how corporations weaponize packaging, exploit brand loyalty, and quietly downgrade both quantity and quality-all while avoiding consumer backlash and regulatory scrutiny. This hard-hitting exposé breaks down how your favorite products have been secretly shrinking for decades, why government inflation metrics like the CPI don't capture the damage, and how brands use psychology and AI to figure out exactly how much they can cut without losing your business.

From grocery stores and fast food to tech, beauty, streaming, and healthcare, this book tracks the tactics used to charge more while giving you less. It shows how low-income families are hit hardest, how loyalty programs have become scams, and how regulators, media, and even subscription services are complicit in normalizing the theft.

If you've ever wondered why your dollar doesn't stretch the way it used to, this book gives you the data, history, and strategic insight to understand why-and what you can do about it. Written in a pragmatic, Kiyosaki-influenced voice for readers who care about value, it doesn't just name the game. It shows you how to play it smarter.

Whether you're a consumer, investor, or just tired of feeling ripped off, Smaller, Pricier, Worse gives you the lens to see shrinkflation for what it truly is: a corporate swindle hiding in plain sight.
