It has got to be bad. I noticed full size lays bags are now stamped for $7 and change. $7 for a bag of potato chips you'd think that was crazy bougie organic chip prices with some dill and Himalayan pink salt. But no, that's what lays and cheetos are going for.

That’s measuring price discrimination on an impulse buy. You have to compare wholesale prices for any kind of shrinkflation comparison across one product.

$7 sounds like what I’d pay at my neighborhood liquor store, not Walmart or Costco.
