So I really like the KK pizza shells - easy, convenient and a loaded one is good enough for supper with some veggies. HOWEVER ! Now the 8" pizza shell has become a 7" pizza shell...not so filling. I guess it's a sign of the times but I find it makes a difference.

Has anyone else noticed any shrinkage - KK or other products ???

Namaste came out with new packaging recently....and downsized too. I used to always have some mix leftover after making two batches of pancakes, now it makes exactly two batches w/out any leftover. Not a huge deal, but I used to buy two or three packages and the leftovers of all three was enough to make another batch. I was a little miffed, b/c we pay so much extra anyway for gluten free food. This was the only pre-mixed thing I used to buy, so now I just make everything from scratch to save any money I can.

You are so right--- a sign of the times!!!! And I don't think it will get any better....

Has anyone tried the new pizza shells yet? It stated on their website that they were reformulated and when I saw them in the store they looked completely different. First off, they're square and have what looks like cornmeal on them and they seemed thinner. And I'm not sure but I though the old package had four crusts. This one only had three I think and it's still the $8 something it was before. Not to excited, might go back to making pizza crust from scratch.

This has been happening for years with all sorts of products. Companies have to choose between raising the prices - which you would definitely notice, or reducing the quantity of product in what otherwise looks like the same packaging and hope you don't notice.

It is indeed a sign of the times.

That it is!!! . . . and it's not just the gluten free or specialty items . . . it's everywhere.

And sometimes both happen at once. There is a line of products of which I am very aware, where the package was redesigned recently. The old package was four pounds. The "new, improved" package is three pounds, but the price went up by two dollars at the same time.

This is not a gluten-free specialty food, BTW.

As is often the case, "new, improved" is only half right!

The donuts!! (though I admit--I enjoy the tiny ones, you can at least eat the whole thing without feeling stuffed!)

The thing that's bothered me the most about them is when the Canadian dollar was above the U.S. dollar, they raised all of the prices, but now that our dollar is much weaker they've kept the costs insanely high instead of lowering them .
