    I bought some mosquito wipes from Poundworld (before they went bust) for £1 per pack.


    Savers sell the identical item for 89p.

    Well I'm happy that somebody keeps their mosquitos clean.

    Kellogg's have shrunk some of their products; Cornflakes were 790g, now they are 720g and the 500g pack size has been reduced down to 450g.

    Surprised that no one has mentioned this. Walkers Crisps were in multipacks of 12 and now 10.

    Green and Blacks big bars are now only 90g (instead of 100g). I think they changed it with the packaging and I didn't notice when I bought some recently- normally I'm quite eagle-eyed about this sort of thing. Sneaky...

    I stopped buying Green & Blacks when Cadburys bought them, it never seemed to taste the same. (Probably mind over matter)

    Still at least 5 flavours in 100g though https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/search?query=Green%20and%20blacks%20100g

    I put nothing past Modelez. They managed to screw up the taste of Cadbury's quite successfully.

    It would keep this thread shorter if we looked for products which HADN'T reduced in size to maintain the price! Or something that hasn't gone up by 10% in the last year.
