Effective price-per-unit increase

At the tracked shelf price of $4.49, that's $0.3207 per oz before, versus $0.3326 per oz after — a 3.7% 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.
