There is one more thing that I noticed. Bigger packs used to be cheaper (per unit weight) than smaller packs but this is now changing for some products. They know some people would automatically grab a bigger pack without even checking the unit price. So, make sure you check the unit price first!

and another one in sainsbury.
Elmlea Double Cream Substitute 284ml cost 73p while the 568ml version costs £1.60. Do they think we won't notice?(Well actually I think the general public probably don't which is why they can get away with it)

:rotfl:Asda have "rolled back" the price of the new ones

Heinz Spaghetti hoops, now 400g but were 420g if i remember correctly, small decrease compared to other more blatant ones but still, a reduction none the less in weight though not in price....

after complaints, but have now started it again. I thought I was given a child's pizza in there the other day. You have to use a BOGOF voucher to get as much as you used to get before, and they think they're doing you a favour. They won't be seeing us anymore.

I was in Asda yesterday and noticed all Cadbury multipacks are now only 4 bars. They used to be 5 bars. You guessed it price is practically the same, £1.40, if not more. There was a 3 for £4 on recently, can't remember the per pack price.

Morrisons value (yellow box) soap powder used to be £1.64 for 3 kg, then they put the price up to £1.90ish, then reduced price back to £1.64 while also reducing to 2 kg.

This happened about a year ago and I'm still annoyed every time I go in! (i think i need therapy)

Tescos have Kellogg's Elevensies bars 6 for £1.50. Next to them on the shelf are the so called mega value packs of 12 for £4.25...

wonder if they have had people complaining about the size?

at work we usually stock the smaller "new size" smaller ones but the new ones that have come in are back to the older bigger versions.

the new small ones look tiny compared to the fatter old ones hehe

edit: just been to a different morrisons and it seems they have both versions, i thought the bigger one was deleted
