Honey, I Shrunk the Groceries!!

On today’s episode of Double Down, hosts Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert are joined by best selling author, Pippa Malmgren, to discuss ‘shrinkflation:’ when deflation in grocery packaging size masks real inflation in prices.

A report by consumer group, Which?, finds that many groceries are sneakily being sold in smaller quantities without a commensurate reduction in price. Best selling author and former member of the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, Pippa Malmgren, has dubbed this phenomena — ‘shrinkflation.’  Double Down asks her to explain the inflationary warning behind shrinkflation.
