(名詞/不可數) 產品或服務的價格不變但品質變差的情況。這個字是由 skimp (節儉,節約) + inflation (通貨膨脹) 拼綴而成。
引句:
"Skimpflation is when consumers are getting less for their money," says Alan Cole … formerly a senior economist at the joint economic committee of the US Congress. "Unlike typical inflation, where they're paying more for the same goods, skimpflation is when they're paying the same for something that worsened in quality."
