Muffins Shrunk — While Prices Rose

Kirkland muffins may represent the most striking change when you factor in size and quantity. A previous $4.99 pack of six muffins (35 oz total) was replaced by a $6.99 pack of eight muffins (31 oz total).

That’s an estimated 58% effective increase when measured by weight per dollar.

For families relying on muffins as breakfast staples:

• Compare bakery pricing at supermarkets
• Freeze homemade muffins for cost control
• Track per-ounce costs, not just sticker prices

Shrinkflation has become a major issue in modern retail — and bulk stores are not immune.
