Your grocery bill went up 25% since 2020. But the sticker price only tells half the story.
Over the past year, we tracked 10,000+ grocery products across 12 retail chains. We found 847 products that shrank — same price, less product. That's a hidden 10-15% price increase that doesn't appear in any inflation statistic. Your receipt doesn't show it. Your store's app doesn't flag it. Nobody tells you.

**[City, State] — [Date]** — CartSnitch today announced the launch of its free grocery price tracking application, designed to give consumers real-time visibility into grocery price changes, shrinkflation, and cross-store price differences.
The tool connects to shoppers' existing store loyalty accounts to automatically track prices for every product purchased. CartSnitch's analysis of over 10,000 products across 12 retail chains found that 847 products experienced shrinkflation — reduced package sizes at the same or higher prices — in the past 12 months, representing a hidden 10-15% cost increase invisible to consumers.

"Grocery prices have increased 25% since 2020, but the real cost to families is even higher when you account for shrinkflation," said [spokesperson]. "CartSnitch exists to close the information gap between retailers and consumers. The same data that helps stores optimize pricing should be available to the people paying those prices."
