    It's the same with most products. For instance 10 years ago you got 500g blocks of cheese for ~£2 when they were on offer. Nowadays it's 350g for ~£2
  • I find other colas horrible in comparison. I don't evendrink pepsi anymore! Thankfully there's an Iceland and a Watt Brothers within walking distance of my work and they always seem to have it on offer.

    I've bought them as they're on offer at Sainsburys, as others have said I buy whichever is cheapest. Is it a rip-off? No I never bought 2 litre bottles because they were too big and went flat quickly. You can even buy 3 litre bottles although they're usually special deals etc.

    My local Morrisons had 2 litre bottles as a clearance item at 99p. You might want to check that out if you like the 2 litre size (whilst it lasts).
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    Product increases in price?

    THIS NEVER HAPPENS??

    I got ripped off at the local Shell garage today. Yesterday the petrol was 1.26.7, TODAY it was 1.27.7, for the SAME amount. WHAT

    They've got to save up to pay for signs.
  • So they're actually doing away with the 2l bottles? I've seen the billboards advertising the 1.75l but nothing to say that it's replacing the 2l bottles.

    The ones I have seen show the 2l then like a shadow of the 1.75 (or vice versa) and say 'Happiness, now in a new shape' so it appears they are swapping them out.
