Here’s a skimpy idea – skimpflation means that you pay the same price for something but get less of it.

Think of hotels charging the same room rate but closing the breakfast buffet, or cereal companies charging the same price per box but reducing the size of the box.

Skimpflation is rampant in freight. Companies charge 50% – 100% more than a year ago yet won’t give you an update on your freight’s ETA.
