Effective price-per-unit increase

At the tracked shelf price of $22.99, that's $0.1965 per count before, versus $0.219 per count after — a 11.4% jump in cost per unit even though the sticker price never moved. This assumes the price held constant across the resize, which is the defining trait of shrinkflation.
