The Great 'shrinking food and other items' Hunt

There's one thing I hate more than having a dirty botty, is having less wipes to clean a dirty botty.

I agree with the sentiment but don't believe these are any good for the environment or your soil stack.

Multi packs of chewing gum were 5 for £1 then went down to 4 now it's 3 packs for £1.

I recently went to my local Tesco to buy the Aptamil folly on milk 2 and noticed that the packaging looked slightly different. On closer inspection, I discovered that the quantity had reduced from 900g to 800g but the price was virtually still the same. There has been a 15p reduction in price, from £11 to £10.85. Quite frankly I’d rather pay the extra 15p for the 100g they’ve taken off. I think the makers, Nutricia I believe are taking advantage of parents who have no choice but to buy the product. Simply outrageous.

I totally agree with you it is but it just keeps happening.

As this thread has already deviated considerably from food, I am posting about Poundland's plastic hair clamps. They used to sell six in a pack, then three, and now just two.

That will do for me I have less hair than I used to have

Sometimes products that have been selling in the market to apply this is of course very harmful

Thanks for that. I think it's a big problem for £ shops that they're finding it really difficult to find goods that they can sell for a £.


They have branded goods (like cereal) that's in smaller packages so not the bargain they appear to be. My DD likes the Kenco coffee sachets and they sell packs of 5 instead of 10. They do Frylight but in 100 ml containers.


You really need to watch them carefully. I can't see them lasting too long myself if their cost per kg etc. goes up near Aldi/Lidl prices they won't compete on quality.
