At Big Frog 104, we're always on the lookout for consumer news and alerts, and here's a scam we want to bring to your attention.

You might not find that your grocery shopping tab isn't going up as dramatically as some reports say but you may notice that your bag of goods isn't as heavy as it used to be. The reason? Food retailers are maintaining their prices on some goods but lessening the product size. We found a few examples courtesy of "Consumer Reports" magazine.
