I am also cross to note that the muller&ite in my fridge is only 175g - when did this change ?

When they changed the packaging - about 6 weeks ago

Coors light in bottles used to be boxed as 15 x 275ml, now is 12 x 330ml.

Gourmet Cat Food has gone from 12 sachets to 8 ok price has dropped from around £5 to about £3.50 but still a pain

Anyone see Watchdog the other day, talking about this? They mentioned Heinz Farmer's Market soups, down from about 515g to 400g. Really annoyed that I bought a couple and didn't realise.

I've noticed recently that shampoo bottles and shower gels have gone from 500ml to 450ml. I usually buy whatever's on offer so don't have regular's but a lot of the bottles have been 'stylishly' redesigned to hold less! :mad:

Yesterday I bought Aspall's white wine vinegar as I was making mango chutney, I found that they have shrunk their sizes of bottles for all products from 500ml down to 350ml!:mad: A massive 150ml, how can they justify this? I have sent them an email of complaint also telling them that they have lost a faithful customer.

Do these manfacturers think that we won't notice or that we are all stupid?

ASDA own brand cheesy wiggles, 8 pack for £1.30.
Now rebranded with "chosen by you" packaging, 6 pack at, yes you guessed it, £1.30.
Their reply was they either increased the cost due to suppliers rises or cut the pack size.
Can their profit margins really not take a 10p hit per pack, seeing as they've reduced the size by a whole quarter?

I normally buy Tetley One cup tea bags in whichever £1 shop I visit. But this time I didn't notice that instead of the old 100 tea bags, the box says there are only 88 :eek:, for the same price of course.

I stack shelves for asda, the other night i had imperial leather soap which didn't match what was on the shelf, instead of 4x125g they are changing to 4x100g, if i didn't do this job i would never have noticed. The 4x125g were reduced to clear too so obviously a replacement not an alternatice option SNEAKY SWINES!
