Effective price-per-unit increase

At the tracked shelf price of $7.49, that's $1.8725 per oz before, versus $1.9711 per oz after — a 5.3% 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.
