Tesco/Fairy

bastet

Went shopping to my local Tesco tonight to take advantage of the 25 wash box of Fairy for £4 that they have advertised on their website.
It woud seem Fairy have downsized their boxes and they are now 22 washes :mad:
I know it's only 3 washes difference but everything seems to be reducing in size these days - apart from my washing pile
It makes me wonder if the 'reduced' price is a ploy to make it seem like a good deal?

I got 33 bold capsules for 4.80 yesterday from tesco. They were half price. Seemed an ok deal

It's been a constant thing for years; take a look at 'secrets of Poundland' for further clarification.

I buy it as I need it, and no more often,unless it really is a good deal.

Where does the OP even suggest that it's Tesco's fault?

Unfortunately all products are the same.. prepacked blocks of cheese annoy me.. they used to be 400g.. and they are creeping down in weight.. now some are 325g..... still same price!!
thats nearly a quarter less!! There is a thread on here about tins of quality street being less.

It's exactly the same thing as at the tobacco counter.

Weigh up 20 Pall Mall and 20 Sterling, and tell me what's cheapest for cigarettes.

I've not smoked for 13 days now, and rarely smoked British cigs anyway, but Sterling were always marginally cheaper, due to having the extra one in there.

And roses too which i think were on watchdog.

Not really Tesco's fault except they agree to sell it.
