Watch Out for the Grocery Shrink Ray!

It's become a common trick of manufacturers, shrink the package size slightly, while keeping prices the same (or even raising them!) Remember when a half-gallon jug of orange juice was a standard 64 ounces? Tropicana changed the game by trimming its carton to 59 ounces, making it look like a better deal in comparison to its 64 oz. competitors.

From Ivory dish detergent to Kraft American cheese slices, Consumer Reports took a look at 10 grocery store products that were "downsized." Take a look to see which products you're seeing less of, but paying more for.
