    Just posted new thread, didn't know about this one!

    Anyway, Morrisons 'pop' has been reduced in size from two litres to one and a half! I'm sending them an e mail but don't suppose I'll get any satisfaction!

    Yeo Valley Probiotic yogurt pots have shrunk from 125mL to 120mL, yet the price has gone up.

    and

    Pampers Sensitive baby wipes now have 63 in each package instead of 72, so just like the Huggies ones, if you buy 8 packages at a time you are now getting the equivalent of 7 packages.

    Morrisons Pineapple slices/chunks have gone from a 425gm tin for 49p to 210gm tin for 57p. Glad I bought some of the larger tins last week!
  • Tropicana, recently redesigned its large orange juice container, giving it an easy-pour lid—and the capacity to hold only 89 ounces, rather than its old 96 ounces. The price has stayed constant.

    Tesco have reduced the number of milk choc ices from 10 to 8, price stays at £1 so a price rise of 25% from 10p per choc ice to 12.5p.

    Mars bars used to be 65 grams, now they're 58.... though not qwuite as stingy as the ones in Tenerife, they are tiny at a mere 51 grams... I bet Mars would say it was something to do with encouraging people to be snack aware.:p

    Currently they sell the 140g chocolate bars (dairy milk, caramel, bubbly etc etc) for a £1 in most stores but walking past Sainbury's yesterday i noticed that these are now only 120g...

    Bad Times.
