Kit kats used to come in multipacks of 16, but they're now 14 for the same price

Same with the 2 finger multipacks of 9 - now 8. I remember buying about 8 packs of the 9 orange Kit Kats at work for 47p and dishing them out for free to friends and family.

I thought this was just for the poundshop?

JAG

Wall's Ice Cream tubs, was 2 litre now 1.8 litre.

Back to andrex, I've noticed it's not as wide either. Sainsbury's own brand is wider!

Cadbury 'big' bars were 230g now 200g.

Dont know which ones you buy but the ones i buy from the multiples are still multipacks of 6.

Velvet Crunch Cassava's.

Packs of 6, now started appearing on shelves in packs of '5 for the price of 4' in the same way that Snack A Jack's did a few months ago.

One that's annoyed me recently - multipacks of Mars/Snickers/Bounty/Rolo (i.e. the Mars family) are a lunchbox staple of mine (one bar a day, not a multipack a day!)

The deal I used to stock up on was £1 for 5 bars, came around every couple of months at Tesco - the latest promotion was a 4-pack for £1 instead of a 5-pack... very disruptive to the lunchbox routine, not to mention a 25% price rise!
