Sorry, another non food one.
IKEA picture frames used to have a real wood veneer. Now they are just a vinyl finish. Still good for the price but nowhere near as good quality as the old style. I would definitely rather have paid more and kept the wood veneer.

Tesco own brand Lager (not value) price has dropped on 4 pack cans from £2.39 - £1.79 but size of the can has also shrunk from 500ml to 440ml little yellow price tag on shelf still saying 4X500ml cans £1.79.

Still cheap and my choice when no decent offers on other brands.

New Covent Garden soup cartons seem much smaller than before at 600g - they used to give 2 a good serving, not sure that is the case now.

I noticed in Iceland on Saturday that the packets of Kingsmill hot cross buns usually 2 packets of 4 buns for £1 have changed to a 6 pack of buns for £1, I suppose the muffins will become a 6 pack soon too !

Not long ago Sainsbury's TTD Vivaldi potatoes were in a 2 kg bag. Now 1.5 kg and, of course, same price!
