Effective price-per-unit increase
At the tracked shelf price of $24.99, that's $0.3085 per count before, versus $0.3288 per count after — a 6.6% 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.
