Increasing prices or decreasing sizes?

As costs increase and the desire for more profit increases, companies that manufacture goods are faced with two main choices: decrease the size (weight, volume, etc.) of a product or increase the retail price on the product. This can be seen in products such as boxes of cereal or bags of dog food; fixed things like a gallon of milk always stay the same size while their price changes, so such products can't exactly be included for consideration here. Which do you prefer?
Would you prefer a product you regularly buy goes up in price for the same size, or reduce in size for the same price?
Decrease the size/weight/volume while keeping price the same
Increase price while keeping size/weight/volume the same
Please feel free to add some thoughts and reasons why you chose the option you selected.
