Like When There's More Air Than Chips In Your Ruffles Bag

Inflation doesn't just mean that prices go up. It also means that some things cost the same but you get less for your money. That could be smaller portion sizes, or it could mean that fewer services are offered, like at hotels, where the rate might be the same but they've cut back on housekeeping and you don't get breakfast. Restaurants might cut back on cleaning. You might have to wait longer for stuff. All of this is hard to quantify, so when you see inflation figures in the news, be aware that they don't tell the whole story. (New York Times)
