Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Spanish-language investigation compares supermarket products across 2003, 2024, and 2026 to track quantity cuts and price-per-kilo increases.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The catalogue separates long-run comparisons from recent changes: 94 cases compare 2003 with the present, while 15 cover 2024 to 2026. Each ficha reports both package-level and unit-price changes, which prevents a higher sticker price from obscuring a smaller quantity. Filters also distinguish manufacturer brands from store brands and flag products that have shrunk twice. The site notes that product images identify references but are not dated evidence; gram weights come from the underlying dataset.
