Same, I usually compare the net weight and amount of servings in a package vs the other brands nowadays.

There are definitely brands I stopped buying due to shrinkflation. A few times I've seen shrinkflated items on sale later and then do the math just to realize the price is still too stupid to buy even at sale price.
