The Great 'shrinking food and other items' Hunt

Noticed this week Whiskas cat sachets, re-done the packaging and at the same time reduced sachet size from 100g to 85g. Still the same price though.

Webbox cat treats from 35gm at £1.20 down to 30gm for same price.  Flora tubs are now 450gm instead of 500gm.

Two posts on the same page is hardly a major thread wander and I hope that's not me being castigated as I didn't start it.

As mentioned, it’s easy to go off subject so can we ‘all’ keep on subject please (no one person is being castigated otherwise I would of either PM’d them or quoted them ) . 2 posts on one thread is a thread wander I’m afraid so back to items shrinking in size and not price ….. 

Thank you

I am sure the Lidl Low GI loaves sold in the bakery section have shrunk.  I no longer get so many slices.  But impossible to prove now. I wonder if other loaves in the bakery section have shrunk?  At least it would be difficult to shrink my faves - pastel de nata Portuguese custard tarts although they have gone up of course.

I love the Portuguese custard tarts, which used to be 3 for £1!!

Iceland cod fillets in batter or breadcrumbs now 440 grams from 500 grams, meanwhile Iceland Atlantic cod fillets are now down to miserly 320 grams but still 5 quid.

According to my food diary, Lees' Snowballs (available in packs of 12) have reduced from 18.3g each to 14.25g each.
No idea when the change happened.

It's not just shrinkage. The Feta and Halloumi now sold by Iceland aren't DOP any more.

Asda appears to have followed Tesco in that the turkey drumsticks - at least at my local branches -  are now considerably smaller

Tesco has been selling these reduced size drumsticks for some considerably time now . These reduced size drumsticks look more like large chicken drumsticks than turkey drumsticks.
