Effective price-per-unit increase
At the tracked shelf price of $4.99, that's $0.499 per oz before, versus $0.5253 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.
