Quaker Oats They have reduced amount of granola bars in boxes from 10 to 8 and charging same price! Internet, Internet
I have been buying same Quaker Oats granola bars every week for almost 2 years and when i bought same brand/flavor today at my local grocery store chain, i noticed the amount of granola bars was reduced from 10 to 8 and all us consumers are being charged same amount for the lower amount of bars! This is a rip-off and another expample of greed in corporations- increasing their profit margin & decreasing the amount of food to the consumer. This can not stand. I emailed them with my concern and i feel we should boycott Quaker Oats!

Why not make your own? It takes very little time and you can have as many as you want and its cheaper in the long run. Try it!

prices do go up. Surprises me the price/quantity remained the same for two years.
The manufacturers have to choose increase the price or provide less product.
Most prefer keeping the price the same.
This ISN'T just Quaker Oats, but MANY other manufacturers.....get over it.

They reserve the right to change the quantity in the package. That is greedy but not a rip off.
