Oh no! Oreo

Double Stuf is really more like One and a Half Stuf. The penny pinchers have gotten to the Oreos. Trickery in food continues. It's tough to find a true half gallon of ice cream or a full pound of coffee anymore, but the prices certainly do not reflect the downsizing.

Oh well, I probably shouldn't eat Oreos anyway.

Then again, the packaging sizes at Costco scared the daylights out of me.

I love stores that post the price per ounce (or other unit). For my OCD brain, that works really well.

BTW, I like the vanilla oreos!

2. I think it started with coffee during a price spike in beans, then went on from there.

By the way, have you seen the new Watermelon Oreos?

3. I have, but was afraid to try them. I'm a traditionalist, I guess.

I like the chocolate Oreos and prefer the double stuffed ones, but they've cut back on the amount of filling.

They probably have a triple stuffed that's like the old double stuffed!

Oreos, Oreos. All kinds of Oreos these days.....it's hard to keep up!

that are better than the original with the cookies crunchier and more flavorful, they're made by Kinnikinnick if any other gluten free folks are reading this.

The Newman's cookies are also better, but they've got wheat in them so I only had one and itched for a week.

Too often, it seems, I try a new product and end up throwing it out because I don't like it. I'm happy to have your recommendation.
