Smaller pack sizes but same price
I've noticed loads of pack size changes over the past few weeks at work, ( I work for one of the big supermarkets), but the price has not changed! Examples are - Fairy Liquid from 500ml to 450ml, loads of soap powders and capsules, Kelloggs portion pack cereals, all smaller packs. There are a few more which i cannot remember off the top of my head.

Totally agree, Rick. I'm having amazing free brain-training working out the cost per kg/litre when I go shopping. Another thing I noticed is that there seem to be far fewer baked beans in tins and much more sauce lately but unlike say tuna they don't give a 'drained weight'.0

The only other alternative would be the same size packs increasing in price, so take your pick.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0

There was a poor harvest last year, thus the price and quantity of beans.Totally agree, Rick. I'm having amazing free brain-training working out the cost per kg/litre when I go shopping.

Personally, I'd rather the price went up and the pack size stayed the same. At least that way I'd know I was paying more. Reducing the pack size seems a bit under-hand and sneaky to me.
I noticed that Tesco Incredibly Fruity Yogurt 4 packs have reduced in size. I think the price has gone down a bit too but I bet that won't stay that way for long....7 Angel Bears for LovingHands Autumn Challenge. 10 KYSTGYSES. 3 and 3/4 (ran out of wool) small blanket/large square, 2 premie blankets, 2 Angel Claire Bodywarmers0 -
I have noticed it too especially on essentials and bars of chocolate - Mars Bars from 6 in a pack to 5 in a pack etc.Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
