Hamburger helper connoisseurs
Have you noticed?

The portions are getting smaller. We eat on the cheap, and hh is cheap. In the last two grocery rounds, I've noticed that the package of noodles or rice included has gotten much smaller.

10. Oh, I don't know about that.
I put the skillet on, sit down at the computer, then come back about half an hour later to put the fire out.

3. This has been going on for a long time. They decrease the size of the
product and either keep the price the same or increase it.

5. Yeah, I noticed it several months ago.
It's to the point that I find myself either adding more noodles, rice or potatoes, just to make it stretch.
