Tone Guidelines

  • Lead with data, not outrage
  • One surprising fact per tweet
  • Use specific numbers (not "prices went up" but "$4.29 → $5.49")
  • Okay to be wry ("Same price. Less cereal. Classic.") but never fear-mongering
  • Always link to sources when citing external data

Pre-Launch Adaptation

Before we have our own data, use public sources:

  • BLS Average Price Data (monthly)
  • USDA Food Price Outlook (quarterly)
  • r/shrinkflation community reports (weekly)
  • Manufacturer product page changes (ongoing)

Post-launch, these threads will pull directly from CartSnitch price tracking data.
