    Bumping the price of a sausage up by just over a ha'penny! Outrageous.

    Latest shrinking food product noticed on Thursday. Warburtons bread is now 750g loaf used to be 800g and still same price £1.35.


    I allways thought that 800g was a legal weight for a standard loaf,

    but when I searched it looks as though the law changed last year

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3081008/Bread-rules-abandoned-after-750-years.html

    so would this cover the standard loaf being 50g lighter???

    Pampers baby wipes have just had another cut from 56 wipes to 54 wipes now (marketed as new).
  • The hilariously tiny burgers Mcdonalds have been shrinking for years, it's all just kids portions now.

    Princes tuna in the 3pack and 4pack were 185g tins and now are 160g tins
  • Nairns fine milled oatcakes :( Last week 250g box containing 4 pouches of 8 oatcakes, this week 218g box containing 4 pouches of 7 oatcakes for the same price. Did they think I wouldn't notice I couldn't make 4 cheese 'sandwiches' out of a pouch now????
