The only bags that have yet to shrink (may be older stock) are Galaxy Counters; everything from Minstrels through to M&M's have seen their respective weights lowered.
If you are partial to Maltesers you'd be better off buying the 120G boxes as they tend to be the same RRP when the pouches aren't on offer!It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0 -
Have noticed Nestl! have shrunk their 120g bars of Milky Bar down to 100g now but kept the price at a £1.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0

I noticed some Duo bars for sale at the weekend. As I'd never heard of Duo I took a closer look.
Basically they were well known brands (like Mars, Bounty etc) but marketed as two of the shrunk size bars in one pack.
So much for the manufacturers' spurious claim that this is what the customer wants and an aid in the fight against obesity!0 -
The Thorntons Brownie Bites etc have gone from 10 to 9. The packaging is square, not rectangular.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Previously Cobra large bottles were 660ml now they have redisigned the bottle with a " coca cola esk " style bottle with a narrow waist which results in the loss of 40ml of precious lager, but the price is the same.:mad:0

Welcome to the world of shrinkflation.
This has been going on with all foods in recent years.The more I live, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the more I grow.
The more I grow, the more I see.
The more I see, the more I know.
The more I know, the more I see,
How little I know.!!

I'm sure they'll tell you it's what the customer wants and they're helping you to be more drink aware.0
