Im confused as you say " you bought a meal deal but then say "you didn't want to comply with the deal " so which is it ?

That confused me at first, but I think it is supposed to read

I bought a 'meal deal' at Sainsburys a couple of weeks ago, with crisps I didn't want, to comply with the deal.

It isn't just the supermarkets ripping us off, the manufacturers are continually reducing the contents/size of products whilst still charging the same price. I first noticed this with Fairy a few years ago - once a 500ml container now 400ml+, same with Washing Powders, Bread - in particular Warburtons. Crisps and Chocolates are another - why anyone would buy a pack of 5 Cadburys Creme Eggs when they used to come in 6's must be off their trolley!:D
