200 not 260.

geoffken was comparing 1x 200g @ £2.25 with 2x130g @ £1 each (i.e. "260g for £2") and saying that the latter was the better deal.

Big tubes , same taste

We must have different taste buds. I tried the Aldi ones. It was one of the few occasions where an Aldi product failed to make the grade.

Yes I realise that, the point I was making was that the larger packs were previously being sold for £1, £1.25 maximum.

:rotfl: Not rude at all, just saying that if you can't expect people to understand the point you're trying to make if you omit a fundamental piece of information.

If people explain their point clearly, giving all relevant facts, others will be able to understand and appreciate their point and no-one will need to get upset about being mis-understood

All Proctor & Gamble washing machine liquids have less washes per bottle, the large one has gone from 60 down to 57.

I have never put in the recommended amount in. Live in a hardish water area. One time I put a dot on the side of a bottle every time I used some of the liquid for a washing load. I got 43 loads from a 25 wash bottle. If you live in an area with softer water, you probably got 5-7 more washes out of it.

All my washing comes out clean and fresh. The manufacturers put a recommended amount in so you use and buy more

Hellmans salad dressings were 235ml now 210ml.

What really grinds my gears is the weight of the packaging being included in the weight of the product. For example, I would expect a 1kg tub of yoghurt to provide me with 4 x 250g portions. Not any more, today I got 3 x 250g portions and then a 215g portion, in a 50g tub. If I'm buying a 1kg tub of yoghurt, I actually want 1kg of yoghurt :mad:
