Shrinkflation got to art supplies too?

It's been over a decade since I became serious about art again. Last time I bought tablets for sketching i remember the booklets averaging 24-36 pages easily and pads for painting ran 24-32 pages. Now they're running 20 pages to 10 pages at best and five times the price. Paint tubes use to average 8 oz for the normal and primary colors ran the same price as all the others not twice the price. Anyone else frustrated with this too?
