Pay the same but get less!

Brockyman

This year I have seen a few examples of shops keeping the price of a product the same but making it slightly smaller instead of putting the price up. I think this is a bit cheeky not to mention a bit offensive. I'm not stupid and can see straight through this although the companies obviously hope we won't notice.
Here's a couple of examples:


This is Wilkinsons Lawn Feed. Until recently it had 1 litre, now 800ml. That's a 20% price increase.




Spray Lubricant from PoundWorld. 50ml smaller this year which is a price increase of about 16%.
PoundWorld also reduced the strength of their Lawn feed by 50% this year, effectively doubling the price!

Any more from anyone?

So there is, Thanks. I knew there must be one somewhere but I couldn't find it.
Consider this thread closed!
