I have noticed this, too. The only time I *buy* large packages, though,
is "family packs" of meat at the mom and pop grocery down the street,
and that's only because the price per lb is cheap . For rice and
pasta, I generally get stuff at Aldi, or buy the store brand of the
whole grain variety at Meijer, both of which only come in one size.
