    I've just noticed that Nescafe Cappuccino packets now contain only 8 sachets instead of 10 - strangely for the same price - that equates to a 25% price increase :mad:

    They've been available in both 8 and 10 packs (depending on where you buy them) for well over a year now.

  • Iceland bag of fish fingers. Was 40 for £2 (1kg) now 35 for £2 (875g). Still a bargain though, and you do now get £1 for every £20 you put on the bonus card instead of £25.

    Birds Eye chargrill chickens have recently been spruced up in new packaging and have also undergone the obligatory downsizing. Each piece used to be 91g but are now are 85g. All for the same price of course. Looks like they are doing their bit to add to inflation.
