I've noticed the center of the toilet paper roll is larger, thus less paper on the roll.  What have you noticed a change in, besides the increased prices?

Yeah, and now the mega rolls that don't fit on the holders.  A while back, toilet paper companies also made the size of the sheets smaller.  Everything is being "shrunk".  They shrink the sizes, ounces, etc, but keep the price the same or increase it.  They think we don't notice these things???  Wrong!  I do!

The TP rolls also get narrower and narrower.

@wagirl    I can remember when they all started out being 16 oz.

As we probably all have scene the obvious smaller packaging of ice cream, Ritz crackers, Oreo's,  OJ and milk, and Clorox, it is sadly ironic what has happened to Pound cake.  Entenmann's calls it all butter loaf as it is not 16 ounces anymore and you have to buy the Family Size of Sara Lee pound cake to get your full pound otherwise you only get 10.75 ounces if you buy their regular size pound cake.  🍰😒

We like to buy the bags of walnuts that Costco sells and have noticed that over the last few years the bags have gotten smaller but the price has stayed the same.

In addition to all you mentioned, shampoos, various beauty products, peanut butter (that happened awhile ago), potato chips, popcorn, etc.  Soups, tuna fish.
